I have been to the belper food festival today that was organised by Sam from Fresh Basil. What an amazing day! Lots of different types of food - cheese, Mexican, Indian, cakes and even salsa to name a few. Of course, Fresh Basil was bursting at the seams with hungry people just waiting for their daily fix. The staff still had friendly faces despite being rushed off their feet. It really is a lovely place to be for regulars and first timers. Good luck to Tim, Sam and Roma, and Well done to Sam for another successful food festival. Looking forward to next years!

Still my fave place to visit every time I am in Belper, not only is the food delicious but the welcome you get from Sam and co is outstanding, I love the home made soup and my sons love the panini's, just keep up the good work!

Fresh Basil is the reason why shopping locally is a truly enjoyable experience. A Saturday shop is not complete without filling your fresh basil reusable bag full of fantastic cheeses, pies, cakes (the chocolate brownies and clementine cake are to die for) vegetarian haggis and I could go on. The food available on the menu is full of quality ingredients and all taste superb. The staff are incredible where else in this day and age do you get to know the staff to the point where I embarassingly found myself short of money to pay and they simply said I could give it them on my next visit - (which I did I hasten to add!) Sam particulary is full of friendly banter and is gaining a certain notoriety in the town especially since introducing this year for the first time an annual food festival to Belper. It makes me proud to live in here. Good luck in the final you deserve to win. God help Belper if we together as a town helped by BATS (Belper Against Tesco Superstore) don't suceed our fight to stop the invasion of the superstore we must all pledge to continue to shop local especially in Fresh Basil.

Glad to see you got a much deserved place in the final. The best selection of local, regional and international produce of the highest quality that I've seen anywhere. With friendly and helpful staff it is an epicurean shopping experience without equal. Keep up the good work.

What makes this special - delicious tasty food, very friendly helpful staff full of advice, comfy seating, clean light sunny interior, french style exterior seating, the atmosphere, the smell - fresh coffee, fresh food being cooked, the sound of cool music and all sorts of very cool people chatting and laughing.

Great friendly service, superb food and exceptionally reasonable prices. Our takeaway lunches are always really tasty, and freshly prepared. Nothing is too much trouble, even some of our weirder choices! The pies are to die for, and after a long day, in the depths of winter, we look forward to going home to some fresh veg and a Fresh Basil pie. The cheese pie is delicious in the summer served with salad. A great shop, and well worth making a trip for!
