Much Ado

Excellent quality food and service. Pleasant surrounds and staff.

Beware this is a very dangerous place! They encourage you to taste and when you have it is impossible to walk out without buying! The BEST food, the BEST quality, the BEST service for miles!

muchado is our local deli they sell the finest cooked ham fresh from woburn its my personal favourite i purchase a few slices everytime i go to the shop

all the staff know how to cook and serve what they sell

Much Ado is such a source of fresh and imaginative food when I come to the UK. I know my son works there, but it makes such a pleasant change to find high quality produce in the UK. I like to think that Oliver's upbringing in France, has contributed to the particularly good range of French products that has helped to establish Much Ado as such a valuable asset to the local community.

The food selection is forever changing. There are always samples of new exotic fare. Much Ado is an exciting place to visit. Even the staff are fun. I haven't tried the Cafe yet because I always spend all my money in the Shop. This place is the best. I'm hungry thinking about it. Go for it, Matt.

Much Ado is absolutely wonderful. Not only is the food great but the atmosphere has the place buzzing. I had scrambled eggs and the coffee cake is so moist and delicious I could not stop eating this. Disappointed when it had gone. It is out of the way slghtly in Olney but well worth tracking down for somewhere to eat. scatter1

Well,what can i say ! what a place ! The scrumptious food on offer is of the most outstanding quality and freshness one could ever hope to dine upon. The staff are so full of ideas and are the greatest bunch of food lovers i have ever met. Matt has chosen his products very well and his staff are a credit to him....even olly ( the bald guy) who always makes me laugh and sells me things i dont need !Well done to all and i hope you win!

They have the most amazing choice of cheeses that make your mouth water and are perfect to take to a dinner party. Whilst you stand in the shop the staff will walk past with a tray of freshly cooked bread or goats cheese tarts or some other delicacy that you just have to have. I can think of nothing better to kick start me in the morning than a cup of their frothy cappucino to take out, all in all a great deli and cafe.

Matthew Prosky has a real passion for quality food and fresh ingredients.

Excellent fresh homemade everything! Lovely fun people who really know and care about food - they support local fundraising and make thier shop a local meeting place. A pillar of the community - dont know what we would do without them!

Much Ado is a pleasure to shop in and to eat. The staff make it such an enjoyable and educational shopping and cafe experience. Some unusual offerings and tasting samples too. We have thoroughly enjoyed each shopping experience as well as delighting in eating them. Yum Yum. Good Luck

This is the type of Deli/Cafe I could spend all day in, breakfast, lunch & afternoon tea, maybe in the future, dinner too! Excellent service, knowledge and produce, what more could you want. McDonalds this is not!, thank god. Once tried, you will be back for more & more

Olney has a great asset in Much Ado. The quality and range of food is unparalleled. Add to this the friendly and very knowledgeable staff and you have a winning recipe. A special mention must go to one member of staff Oliver Yorke who has always been there to offer me his extensive knowledge on all things food. (I am not just saying that because he is my brother!...although a bit of discount wouldn't go a miss)

I buy my fresh veg and fruit from here every week. The quality and variety are excellent! Visiting the shop is an experience and you will often walk out with more than you came for! The queues are a testament to it's success and at busy times you will have to wait for the amazing, attentive and knowledgable service. The coffee shop tempts you with it's cakes and fine coffees - all round an exceptional gastronomic experience.

Matthew and his team are simply superb - it is a total pleasure to shop here. The food, the produce, the variety, the expertise and the customer service are absolutely exceptional. In particular, may I rate the Samosas!!! In thirty years of travelling the Near and Far East, I have NEVER tasted anything as superb - they are simply beyond the world of mere five star cuisine - (they're delicious too!) - and I never know whether I prefer the Lamb or the Vegetable until the next mouthful - please please please develop this particular line, the Chef is clearly divinely inspired!

It would be easy to get carried away here. They know their food and the quality is excellent. But even better, despite these very high standards, they will serve you with spicey sausages even when they are really closed.

A wide range of fresh produce which you would expect from a modern Delicatessen. What sets this one higher? The excellent service you receive, both in the shop and with their outside catering. I have never met anybody more knowledgable about food than Clive, who is always willing to offer his advise and cooking tips. Always a pleasure.

Once you've visited Much Ado your guaranteed to go back again. The Chorizo sausages for cooking are full of lfavour and liven up any pasta dish, the local pate is one not to be missed as is the hummus. I would recommend this establishment to anyone who is looking for that something different and sepcial.

Good range of quality in season fresh fruit & vegetables. Excellent selection of cheeses, fish & cold meats. A lot of their produced is locally sourced or freshly made/cooked on site e.g. asparagus, hummus, crayfish I have never been disappointed with anything I have bought from this deli. The staff are very friendly, enthusiastic & knowledgeable about their produce. They get to know their customers and are happy to make recommendations about items they think you will like. They are also happy to let you try before you buy & as their produce is so good I always come away with far more than I intended! They make shopping a pleasure.

It's hard to choose between some of the local food heroes lissted in this directory, and with only one vote, I chose Muchado, since it provides an outlet as a deli/caterer for many local producers, some of whom are separately listed, such as Lingers, Woburn Country Foods, Pastures farm, Milk from Adderson, Local crayfish, Exotic Indian food as well as many others.

Just out of this world in terms of originality, first class produce and range of services.

Visited OLney for the day and was recommended to go to Much Ado for lunch. Excellent Chcken, tarragon and creme fraiche sandwich! An hour later we are still in the shop being told all about their products, given recipes and advice. Couldn'ytbe nicer people and products.

excellent range of freshly prepared food all made from really good ingredients combined with a great range of seasonal fruit and veg, fresh bread and some of the best cheese in the area, make this a first stop for any trip I make to Olney. The knowledgeable and friendly staff and excellent coffee shop just add to the pleasure of shopping.

Very inspirational! Much Ado has a great range of fabulous ingredients in additional to the delicious prepared food - I always come back from any visit to the deli wanting to cook(and usually doing so, trying some new ingredient). We especially love their Samosa's, home made chicken liver pate and sour dough bread. One of the few places to slice bacon to order, and with a great range of cheeses - their enthusiasm for the food, and offering of samples encourages the trying of new foods - a great local hero.

The only shop I don't mind waiting to be served - I always go in for one thing and come out with seven. Old fashioned service with proper food - the perfect match.

Fantastic shop for cheese, veggies and flapjacks!!Very helpful staff will always let you try before you buy. Also has a great coffee shop.

Organic bread from the flower station, fresh fruit & veg direct from Covent garden. Lots of home made meals including fishcakes, meatballs. Always something new and different

This is a fantastic shop. The food is excellent - a huge range of top quality products. The staff are all passionate about food and are full of advice on how to get the best out of their produce. A particular favourite is the charcuterie. They do a fantastic salami selection and the Parma and Serrano are both excellent with a pleasing texture and nutty flavour. Cheeses are kept well and advice is always available on what's best.

I have known Matt since he moved into this area--he,& his staff are always helpful,cheerful,give excellent and knowledgable service.Cannot fault either the shop or the outside facilities.He is booked for my Golden Wedding later this year,and I would not want anyone else.

A superb local deli withg a wide selection of great products. Thier locally sourced free range eggs are the best - and probably the biggest!

Great place to shop friendly service a wide range of superb quality fresh produce especially helpful with gluten free products try the pollenta cake yum

Very good uuality food, local fresh fruit and vegetables, fantastic selection of cheeses, home made breads and pies and jams and pickles. ALso excellent prepared dishes. They also have a cafe serving delicious pastries and cakes. Staff are extremely friendly and helpful.

This is by far one of the best places to shop. Their Boule Blanc turn any meal into a feast. Clives' fish soup is amazing and their Choriso (sic) selection is fab

I love the fantastic seasonal food, and the way they try to source local food of real quality. Their coffees are also amazing!! The staff are all really friendly and know their food, and it's a very pleasant place to be!! Easily the best Deli in the area!!

much ado is a very friendly place to work,they specialise in unusual foods one of my favourite foods we sell is the fried corn in chilli.

Much Ado catered my daughter's wedding reception in My 2007 and everyone said the food was the best they'd ever had at a wedding. Even the most notorious big eaters were full! Everything is excellent and the staff are helpful and know the produce. Best fruit and veg display ever.

Much Ado sell the most fabulous food from the Real Indian food Company. The samosas in particular are the best I've ever tasted, the pastry is so fresh and light.

Nothing is unobtainable from here. If they haven't got it just ask and they will get it. The food is always very fresh and of the highest quality. The problem I have is that I end up spending more than I should because of the fantastic selection.

Matthew & his team are always helpful and ready to fulfil any lunch requests we may have.

I have used Muchado, not only for working lunches with visitors, but also personally. Large or small orders, they are always very helpful. I have ordered from them to 'top up' my party table, as the food is absolutely delicious and varied, and the service is second to none.

We use Much Ado for our Business Lunches and the food is incredible. I have never tasted anything less than perfect. Nothing locally compares. In a class of their own. ****** Highly recommended *******

Its the best REAL food outlet in the area, fresh, tasty and reasonable prices. PDH2

Fantastic food!! We order the working lunches regularly and our visitors always comment on the amazing variety and quality provided. Best in Milton Keynes by far!!!

very good fresh made take away sandwiches for permanentley hungry Germans! delicious!

This shop is the best because it makes awesome chocolate brownies and my brother who is 6 says the flapjacks are wicked.

The people, the service, the quality & choice of food is first class. Staff are very friendly, knowlegable and helpful. Food is a thoroughly unique experience at Muchado on a local, national and international level. I always feel I'm getting the best of all worlds when shopping at Muchado. Keep up the great work Matt & team.

Great people, great food, great service. Everything about this shop is just excellent. Muchado can be likened to a food museum and the staff a comprehensive food encyclopaedia. A day spent in Muchado is never usually enough. You'll never be bored, there's always something new to taste, touch, smell and learn about. On the matter of international cuisine, they sell the most exquisite varieties of freshly prepared handmade samosas, skewered chicken tikka & curried dhal soups, all produced locally ofcourse. Muchado's offerings bring about nostalgic thoughts & feelings. Don't just take my word for it, pop in and see for yourself.

Very friendly and incredible homemade pate

The service is second to none and always helpful advice and sugestions for meals. YThe catering service is fabulous

Great food and very friendly service. Always willing to assist and advise

best cheesecake ever

Fresh and broad selection of delicious foods. Wonderful staff who offer excellent advice and ideas

Matt and his team have provided real choice and real food to a discerning and demanding clientelle. Helpful and knowlegable staff, home cooked specials as well as the staples plus excellent outside catering. Even queuing can be fun with the odd morsel being offered to sample. Shopping wouldn't be such a chore if all shops were like this!

Here we have a little bit of New York in Buckinghamshire! This jam packed high quality establishment satisfies the appitite of even the most finicky gourmand. The roast beef is rare and tasty, the sandwiches are new york sized and the staff is friendly and knowledable. From local specialties (fresh signal crayfish) to obscure delicacies (Pano Iberico Ham) This place has everything. What a surprise!

I go at least once a week. Supberb veg, meats, cheese. Nearly always buy something more than I came in for. The staff are friendly and helpful and I love the atmosphere. Always little bits to sample!

An addictive place to shop! Friendly staff and superb produce, passionately prepared and promoted.

Brilliant selction of meats, cheeses etc. Staff are always very helpful, and offer some great advice and cooking tips. Hard not to spend a fortune even if you just pop in for some freshly baked bread!

Outstanding food, service and quality. Whether its a simple supper or a large dinner party, Much Ado have something special for all occasions. From the delicious array of breads and cheeses to the cold roast beef which we consume on a daily basis; Much Ado sets the par well above average. I await the coffee shop with eager anticipation - its high time Olney got a good quality sandwich/cake/coffee shop and I can only imagine what delights Matt and his team will conjour up to tantilise the tastebuds....Thank you Much Ado!

What I like about Much Ado is that they always have time for you and even if there is a queue they don't rush you. Normally nobody minds waiting because it is such a nice place! Only problem is that you always buy more than you went in for because its all so delicious.

I have yet to find an establishment with local crayfish steamed to perfection. The home-made dill sauce is an ideal compliment..... and I always pick up some tasty locally roasted coffee while in the shop.

This is the only food outlet locally that caters for an individuals need. From the customer service to the produce they make on site the quality is fantastic! Our family loves their salami selections and home made fishcakes!

What makes Much-A-Do special? Every where you rest your eyes there is something you want to eat. And it never disappoints. Ham, cheese, cake, fresh bread, vegetables and a lot more that I am yet to try. I am staying in Olney for ever!

a hidden gem these guys are the best and are passionate about food in an informing but unsnobby way. other delis take note.

We have been visiting Much ado since it opened and it has gone from strength to strength. We now get most of our food shopping from here,calling in 3 or 4 times a week for bread, dairy, fresh vegetables, homemade food etc., all of which are top quality. Matt and his staff are so enthusiastic it is a real pleasure to shop here. A highly addictive shop and a real local food hero. Lise and Taff

Incredible selection of gourmet cheeses, meats and fresh fruits and veg. My wife and I adore the friendly staff and especially all the free samples!

Much Ado is nothing short of an excellent food outlet... brilliantly sourced delights, wonderful and often unusual selection of fresh, quality vegetables and fruits, excellent cheeses and meats from all over the world and lovingly crafted 'home-made' dishes and delicacies all served by great 'foody' staff that care about your enjoyment and not their profits! I'm off there now!

Bellisimo. Hope thats spelt correctly. I love this place. The smells, the freshness of the produce and most importantly the proof is always in the tasting. The BIZZO is what my Wife would say. This is worthy of your utmost attention if you live within a 30 mile radius. The sevice is 10/10 The products 10/10 and sure, if you want something a little bit left field or out of the ordinary, this is deffo the place. As the title of my favourite song goes: "I'm back for more"

It was our first visit to the store today, we were treated real well, a shame that there was not that much to buy! the celery soup (fresh) was ok yet the tarragon cut through it pretty hard. the gooseberry and elederflower icecream was superb, you would be hard placed to beat it. the artichokes were probably the best we have had and sheesh the mushrooms! wowsers you have to try them., waitrose roll over! the staff were great, had all the time in the world for us and you can tell they really have the foodie passion. you have to go here just to share your love of great produce. We will return, simply because you feel so at ease without the snobbery that is attached with 'deli' food. Job well done people long may you stay. my partner will not go shopping at these kinda places, yet the staff made her feel so comfortable that she will return alone.. huge scores ten outa ten

Whenever we visit Olney, Aldo and I always visit Much Ado. Clive is such a helpful guy and the shop deserves to do well. The food is fresh, imaginative and delicious and the aromas are mouth watering. The variety and quality of the vegetables are wonderful. They have now expanded and our visits are even more pleasurable. Keep up the good work - you are our food Hero!

much ado always has something special for any occassion. The staff are always pleasant and happy to help. Matts culinary suggestions work and taste beautiful. Thank you for turning what would be an ordinary meal into something special on many an evening.

My husband and I would shop here daily if we had to! It's such a drag sending James all the from wherever we are, when we fancy some Much Ado!

Passionate Staff, excellent varied food and a pleasure to shop there.

Top quality produce. Always something home made for dinner, great coffee, great veg

Fantastic quality produce, but what really takes this establishment out the ordinary is the amazing staff - their passion for what they are selling makes shopping here a real pleasure.

First class produce and service.

A heroic effort, from this caterer to provide the very best food, wehre ingredients are selected and prepared with passion for freshness, taste, quality and using local producers where possible.

Always full of fresh ideas, encouraging the use of local produce from the surrounding area.

A passion for cheese, hams and fresh fuit & vebetables makes this a Deli fit for heroes!
