Attention all fans of independent food retailers in Leeds – just a quick post about the new & fabulous Pickles & Potter Deli which opened last week. It’s on East parade in the city centre and is a spacious deli only – ie. no seating. When I went in it was a busy lunchtime but the staff were really friendly and seemed to be coping very well with the rush despite it being the first week!
On the menu there’s their usual great choice of made to order sandwiches and salads but there’s now hot sandwiches on offer too – it was sticky soy ham the day I was there, which looked very tempting. I decided to have one of my favourites – piri piri chicken on focaccia bread, which is spicy and sweet and the bread is always so fresh and light. There is also a cabinet full of ready made up sandwiches, salad boxes, drinks and cake which is great for if you’re in a rush.
I also had a piece of carrot cake, which was delicious but sadly didn’t survive the journey home terribly well – the frosting totally squished into the paper bag…. Not sure what could be done about that except perhaps trying different packaging like cellophane bags or plastic boxes? Or maybe the answer is to just munch it straight away!
Anyway, it’s a fantastic addition to the city centre! For anyone who works in Leeds, hope you can check it out.
