Village Deli

Kinda didnt know what I was doing and was sort of rushed into my order. I got a beef sandwich? i have no idea since i asked for pastrami and she was like all we got is beef. On the wall it says 2.50£ but it ended up being 3.50£. im confused. i might be back, i might not. the sandwich was so dry though so i dunno. the prices are cheap so thats always a plus

If you need a lunchtime sandwich in Bermondsey this is the place to go. If you want a coffee this isn’t.
There is a wide range of fillings for freshly made sandwiches at reasonable prices. There are also some hot dishes on offer, including beef curry when I visited. The bread for the sandwiches was just the right texture and the filling was about perfect.
The queuing system can be a little confusing for first timers and seems to operate on a system where if you want serving you stand forward and when you’re being served you stand back until called to receive your order.
Coffee from the deli is very poor and definitely not to be recommended. There are much better places to get a coffee close by.

I would hardly refer to this as a deli, more of a traditional Italian sandwich bar.
All the sandwiches and paninis are freshly prepared and made for you and there is the option to eat in the shop, but personally unless it was pouring with rain with nowhere else to go, I would much rather the takeaway option.
Village Deli is reasonably priced but it fails to impress me greatly, I find it neither the most delicious or relaxing place to go.

I went in here for brunch today and was on my own so was glad to see many people in the same position. From the outside this place looks like a regular greasy spoon; a place for tea and bacon sandwiches. Although they do serve such delicacies they also do really great sandwiches.
I opted for a bacon, sundried tomato and cheese toastie which was served in really fresh and crispy ciabatta bread. All for £2.80. And it wasn’t one of those flattened Panini style breads, this was a huge roll. I had just had a drink before I went in so didn’t get one but they served everything from coffees to cans of coke for 60p to mango, raspberry and yoghurt smoothies for £2.50.
Although small, there’s plenty a lot of seating room inside. It’s not the most glamorous eatery in the city; mostly builders with hard hats staring at Sky news on the T. V in the corner but if it’s good you’re after and really nice Italian service, the Village Deli is fantastic.
