• On Fresh Basil:

  Posted on 22nd of June 2007

  Warm friendly proprietors and staff are always ready to advise on their wonderful ranges of fresh foods and readily offer a 'sample' to taste. The seating is cosy - there just needs to be more of it as at peak times you cannot always find a space, which sings of how good the food is! If Joanne Harris were to write a novel about a delicattessan Fresh Basils would be the perfect subject, where she could invoke the smell sensations of superb cheeses, pies, pastries, coffee and cakes and all the other unusual gems that make such a Deli Bistro so special to the local community. The proprietors promote local produce and take an active part in the community by running a column in the local newspaper and helping/sponsoring/organising street events (we will be there on July 15th). A special thank you to them for the Xmas hamper they put together for my parents. I look forward to my daily latte - long may it continue X
