A very recent addition to Salisbury is Bird and Carter Delicatessen, housed in a fine timber-frame building on Fish Row, next to Pritchetts the butchers. It is independently run by Joff Bird and Annie Carter. They offer fine chacuterie (cooked and cured meats, English and continental), cheeses, pastries, hand-made cakes, savouries such as olives, pickles, sauces and chutneys, tinned fish (including the sublime Cornish pilchards from Newlyn, Penzance), coffee and all manner of dry deli items, interesting soft drinks, and filled baguettes (beautifully, and more importantly ecologically, wrapped in a peace of food grade wax paper which is biodegradable). They also provide a small catering service. (Read the article)

This is just a quick plug to let people know that you can now order a growing selection of Abbey Stores’ finest consumables (read beer, cider, chocolates, you name it) directly from their website: http://www.abbeystores.co.uk/

If you do live in Salisbury, and can never quite find the time to physically visit the shop – did you know that they deliver for free in the local area. See? No excuses!

See Abbey Stores on Google Maps.

This week sees the start of the Salisbury Food & Drink Festival 2006. There’s events all over the city, apparently, culminating with the third Salisbury Food & Drink Fair on Sunday 24th September in the Market Square from 10am-5pm.

This year, the fair’s beer and wine tent is being run by Abbey Stores, so it’s bound to be brimming with only the finest beer and ciders. If you can only make it to one of the events of the week – I think that the beer and cider tent is the one to head for!

Find out more at the official website of the Salisbury Food & Drink Festival.
