About De Beauvoir Deli (shop & takeaway)
On Southgate Rd, De Beauvoir Deli operates as a shop and takeaway for gourmet ready meals, cheeses and preserves. The counter also runs a coffee and sandwich line, with a club sandwich and an egg sandwich alongside pastries such as Portuguese egg tarts and coconut macarons. Grocery shelves carry cheese, meat, produce and homeware alongside cooking equipment, with products from named producers including Pump Street, Forno and Bagel Bake. A hamper service lets customers build their own selection, with delivery options for those ordering ahead. Purchases are made at the counter on a walk-in basis. A handful of tables and chairs sits outside for eating on site, and a cafe opposite offers further seating for anyone wanting to sit down with their order.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often return for the sandwiches, with an egg sandwich on thick bread and a club sandwich singled out, and one calling them "to die for." The coffee is described as excellent and delicious by several, though one reviewer found it hit-or-miss. Close behind is the range of fine foods and fresh items, including quiche, a pie, a babka, pastries, gluten free cakes and a fresh hamper that arrived with a handwritten card. Staff are repeatedly called friendly and helpful. Portuguese egg tarts are called good but a little too sweet, while coconut macarons are very sweet yet taste divine. The recurring caveat is cost: a few call it pricey, and one says prices keep rising while service slips. That same reviewer describes a sandwich refund the manager insisted on processing separately, with no replacement coffee or goodwill gesture offered. Even a diner who found it pricey didn't mind because everything was fresh, and one planned to come back for a fun shaped candle.

“Purchased a hamper as a gift for friends. There are some great suggestions on the website but I I wanted to add some additional items. A member of staff called Dylan helped me with this and made some great recommendations with clear costings. He was also able to accommodate a fairly last minute delivery request and offered a handwritten card with the package, which was beautifully wrapped. It was so refreshing to be able to provide FRESH items in a hamper too, rather than the usual jam, crackers etc. The gift was very well received and I will be sure to use their hamper service again if the opportunity arises.”

“Lovely store. Has everything (thought it’s all wonderfully fancy). I got ice cream. I got produce. I got gluten free cakes!! The staff were lovely and next time I’m getting one of those fun shaped candles”

“I had a genuinely shocking experience at this deli. The sandwich I purchased contained two long, thick strands of hair, which is completely unacceptable for any food establishment—especially one that charges the highest prices in the area. When I brought it back, the manager was barely apologetic. I spent another £16+ on coffee and a few other items, and I asked if she could simply remove the sandwich from that total. Instead, she insisted on processing the refund separately and wouldn’t allow me to do it the straightforward way. On top of that, despite the inconvenience and the wasted lunch, they didn’t offer so much as a replacement coffee or any gesture of goodwill. I wasted time going back and forth because of a hygiene mistake they made in their own kitchen. The customer service here is consistently poor, and the staff often seem indifferent. What makes it even more frustrating is that the prices keep going up, yet the service keeps getting worse. Even the coffee is hit-or-miss, which is surprising considering how much they charge for it. For such a popular deli with premium pricing, the lack of basic hygiene, consistency, and courtesy is extremely disappointing. I used to come all the time but I definitely won’t be returning. I have attached photos/video of the strands of hair that made me feel so sick.”
