OUR STORY · HUNSTANTON, NORFOLK
Independent by Choice. Norfolk by Nature.
A proper delicatessen, an independent cheesemonger and a celebration of the remarkable food and drink made in Norfolk.
We're Mark and Rosie, the people behind The Norfolk Deli. Since 2014, we've been championing independent producers, discovering exceptional cheeses and doing things our own way from our shop in Hunstanton.

The Norfolk Deli · Since 2014
OUR STORY · ESTABLISHED 2014
A Small Business. With Some Big Ideas.
When we took over The Norfolk Deli in Hunstanton in January 2014, we had a fairly straightforward idea of what we wanted it to become.
A proper delicatessen. Somewhere people could discover wonderful food, find something different and enjoy the kind of personal service that independent shops do best.
We also wanted to give Norfolk's independent food and drink producers the attention they deserved. Not simply by putting a few local products on a shelf, but by making them a central part of what we do.
Over the years, we've developed one of the things we're particularly proud of: our cheese counter. We've taken our shop online, created Norfolk's Online Farmers' Market and developed new ways for customers to discover cheeses, local produce and gifts wherever they live.
And through all those changes, we've remained what we set out to be: an independent business run by the two of us, with our own ideas about what makes a good delicatessen.

THE HEART OF OUR DELI
More Cheesemonger Than Deli. More Deli Than Cheesemonger.
It's how we like to describe ourselves. Because although there's much more to The Norfolk Deli than cheese, there's no denying that cheese has become something of an obsession.
Our Cheese Counter · Hunstanton
A PROPER CHEESE COUNTER
Cheese Deserves More Than a Shelf.
Walk into our shop in Hunstanton and you'll soon discover that our cheese counter isn't something we've squeezed into a corner. It's a central part of what we do.
We bring together cheeses from Norfolk and East Anglia, alongside outstanding British and Continental varieties. Some are familiar favourites. Others are cheeses you might never have encountered before.
And that's the pleasure of a proper cheesemonger. Being able to ask questions, explore different styles and discover something wonderful that wasn't on your original shopping list.
Because choosing cheese should be a pleasure, not a guessing game.

PROUDLY INDEPENDENT · PROUDLY NORFOLK
Norfolk Isn't Just Where We Are. It's What We Do.
We happen to be based in Norfolk. But our relationship with the county goes considerably further than our postcode.
From the beginning, we've believed that Norfolk's independent food and drink producers deserve more than the occasional mention on a shelf label. They deserve to be discovered, supported and celebrated.
That's why Norfolk-made produce has always been central to our business. Not because local is automatically better, but because we've discovered just how much exceptional food and drink is being made right here.
MORE THAN A LABEL
Supporting Local Producers Means Actually Supporting Them.
It means buying their products, giving them space on our shelves, telling their stories and helping their businesses reach customers they might never otherwise meet.
And because we're independent, we can choose to work with smaller producers whose products deserve attention, rather than simply stocking whatever happens to be most widely distributed.
We don't just sell Norfolk produce. We want more people to discover the people who make it.THE NORFOLK DELI
OUR COMMITMENT IN PRACTICE
Three Ways We Put Norfolk First.
These aren't simply promises. They're things we've built into the way The Norfolk Deli operates.
Independent Norfolk Producers
From preserves, chocolates and baked goods to beers, wines and spirits, we bring together food and drink from independent Norfolk makers.
Every producer has their own story, their own approach and something different to offer.
Discover Norfolk ProduceNorfolk's Online Farmers' Market
We wanted to make shopping from Norfolk's independent producers easier, even for people who live nowhere near the county.
Our Online Farmers' Market brings together products from different makers in one place, with one basket and one delivery.

We believe that when a hamper is described as a Norfolk Hamper, customers should know exactly what that means.
If we call it a Norfolk Hamper, every product inside is made in Norfolk.
Not some. Not most. Every single one.
