Salisbury Scrutineer

3 Fish Row
Mon – Sat 8.30am – 6pm

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.

I like the feel of this deli. Bird and Carter obviously take pride in their food and pride in how they sell it. They are friendly and knowledgeable and obviously care about their shop. It’s pristine, well-lit and well-laid out without being pretentious. I’m looking forward to being introduced to more gastronomic delights and I’m really pleased to see a fresh deli in Salisbury city centre.
