About The Wooden Deli
The Wooden Deli is an independent cafe-deli on Saville Street in the town centre, a well-liked spot for breakfast and lunch. It serves cooked breakfasts, hot baguettes, burgers and proper coffee in a friendly, unfussy setting.
As a genuine local independent, it is the kind of everyday place that anchors a high street, popular with workers and shoppers alike. It rounds out a town-centre offer that increasingly holds its own alongside the Quay.
