A Taste of Honey

Such a brilliant little deli in Didsbury. It’s really deceptive in here as to what they offer because the place is so small!
They have some fantastic sandwiches that they make fresh to order, and you can even choose from a great selection of fresh bread. I went for a Pastrami and Lancashire cheese roll and it was bloody lovely! I also sat outside (brave I know) and had a coffee which was equally as lovely.
The girls working were brilliant as well, one was actually the owner and was happy to chat a little bit about the business! They recently won an award at the Manchester Food & Drink awards and I can definitely see why!
Worth a drive or walk over for a friendly and tasty lunch!

I usually bring my own lunch to work but when I forgot I thought I’d give this place a try on my colleagues recommendation. First of all, they have root beer! I don’t understand why root beer isn’t a bigger thing in the UK, but now I know another place where I can grab a bottle :)
I opted for the lunch box — a plastic tub filled with penne pasta, peas, cous cous, hummus, salad, coleslaw and your choice of cheese or meat. My choice was pastrami, so much pastrami topped my already bulging lunch box that I feared the lid might not close! This is a substantial meal for a reasonable price considering the quality of the ingredients, and I couldn’t finish it in one sitting.
There’s a wide range of meats, cheeses, breads, and jars of all sorts of lovely things on offer. Will definitely be back to stock up on a few cupboard luxuries, and I might forget my lunch more often from now on!

I’m in love with the place. The range of cheeses, cured meats, salads, dressings, coffees, teas, pies, rolls, cakes… All soooo good.
I now buy my ground coffee from there as they source it from roasters based locally, the one I go for are based in Ancoats.
The pies are from Great North Pies and they’re fantastic.
If you need a sandwich, just let Annalise guide you or better still, give her Carte Blanche, you won’t be disappointed.
Meanwhile the service is super relax (don’t be in a rush, give yourself 5 minutes to relax whilst they make your sandwich and have a chat instead).
I costs a bit more but getting my lunch from this place, when I have the time, makes my day better, not just because I’m fed.
On a nice day, you can also sit at the front, they have two little tables so you can enjoy your tea/​coffee/​sandwich and watch the rest of West Didsbury go by.
If if you need catering for an event, they’re also up to it!
I’m a fan!
