Renowned delicatessen and neighbourhood restaurant Delifonseca has received a certificate of congratulations for being a Runner Up in Olive Et Al’s Deli of the Year competition.
Customers nominated the popular Stanley Street deli, which recently celebrated its fifth birthday, as part of a national competition to find the place with the best deli attitude in the UK.
The Deli of the Year competition is an idea created and organised by Olives Et Al, an artisan food producer in Dorset, as a way of raising the awareness of delis everywhere and helping them get real feedback from their customers in a way that is both supportive and helpful to business owners.
Candice Fonseca, proprietor of Delifonseca, said: “To be nominated to be the Olives Et Al Deli of the Year by our customers shows just how much they appreciate what we have to offer.
"We’re proud to run a deli and to offer food which we choose with great care and pride.
"The Deli of the Year Runner Up certificate will take pride of place in the shop and we hope that our customers will continue to use our deli as a place to find exceptional food with knowledge, warmth and a happy welcome.”
A total of over 400 nominations were received, confirming that delis are loved by customers up and down the UK and feel that they are worth supporting.
Giles Henschel, founder of Olives Et Al and organiser of Deli of the Year 2011, said: “Olives Et Al actively supports the deli sector as well as all the outlets it supplies which is exactly why we created the idea of Deli Of The year.
"Our congratulations go to Candice and the team at Delifonseca and we hope that they are thrilled to have been nominated by their own customers and awarded Runner Up by the judges.
"It has been a pleasure to hear from delis throughout the UK and we know that many customers have made wonderful comments about the service and choice they have in their local delis."
Next Friday (September 30), Delifonseca will hold a gourmet evening to celebrate the coming of Autumn.
At their very own Game Night, customers will be able to enjoy a three course meal with dishes including Game Terrine, Wood Pigeon Escabeche, Venison Cassoulet and Confit Rabbit Leg.
The evening is priced at £37 per head and tickets are available by calling 0151 255 0808.
