About Harp Lane Deli
On Church St in Ludlow, Harp Lane Deli is a deli and cafe where customers order and pay downstairs, then carry their food up to a seating area above. The deli case holds a wide selection of cheeses, with staff able to explain the differences between products, alongside sourdough bread. Quiches appear regularly on the counter, and seasonal soups round out the savory side. Sausage rolls are baked in house, and Portuguese tarts, pastel de nata, are sold still warm. Service runs on a walk-in basis with no reservations taken. A small outdoor seating area gives an additional option for eating or drinking beyond the upstairs room.

Customer Review Summary
Cheese is the most frequent draw at this deli, with reviewers praising the exceptional cheeses and great range, often alongside salami, pork pies and olives. Close behind are the baked goods: quiche described as excellent, perfectly baked sausage rolls, and Portuguese tarts, with one reviewer noting they were still warm. Others single out the sourdough, a seasonal soup, a hazelnut pain au chocolat, and Zillionaires shortbread, plus a coffee one reviewer calls exceptional. Staff are described as friendly and knowledgeable, able to explain the differences between similar products. A few mention a small outdoor area and an upstairs seating area. The main complaint comes from one reviewer who asked the price of a bag of crisps, was left waiting while the server carried on with other tasks, and then got an immediate answer from a younger staff member. Another reviewer also notes a wait at times. One reviewer who bought cheese, salami, sausage rolls and pastel de nata calls it a breakfast fit for a king.

“Me and my partner have been here several times over the last couple of years while on holiday. The service is always excellent, the staff go above and beyond there call of duty, nothing is too much. The food is always good and the quality is in the ingredients. The quiches are very good, everything we have tasted has been on point. You might have to wait sometimes but it is definitely worth it.”

“Worst customer service I've received in years. Simply asked how much a bag of crisps are. The lady serving said she'll scan and find out - we were waiting for a good ten minutes as she carried on with other tasks. Realising she couldn't be bothered with such a simple task we asked another younger staff member who knew the answer straight away. It's all well and good a staff member not knowing prices but to be shunned for so long then the younger staff member knowing and being more polite is quite shocking. Poor poor customer service.”

“Sat outside in the sunshine for coffee & cake - the coffee was very nice, its not often I get a coffee that I think is exceptional, and that was. Zillionaires shortbread was 10/10! Friendly service, great choice of goods in the shop - great spot outside for people watching. £14 for 2 coffees and 2 cakes. Would definitely return if in the area.”
