"

"i wanted to put on a bit of party food for my 6 year old daughters birthday party on a wednesday night for 10 friends and family before her weekend party and thought that i'd try something different. wow! my guests were amazed at the quality and diversity of the food that delicious provided and i must admit i did think to passing the food off as my own but would never have got away with it! thank you to the delicious team and i look forward to recommending you to anyone. gordon, vicky and scarlett> xx "

"i am a bit of a stick in the mud when i go to anywhere that sells food. when i find something that i like i always order the same each time, nor am i big lover of soups. however, in delicious i regularly try their home made soups and was well set with having the lovely chicken tikka sandwich whenever i visited under past ownership. but the new and inventive specials menu, with a different and unique sandwich each day, made me diverge and try something different (beef fajita on this particular day)... and i was not disappointed! the service, care and attention to detail was exemplary and will have me going back time and time again to try out more of the brilliant specials...i may even treat myself to a home made cake that i somehow resisted last time! a real gem! check it out!"
