the story so far....

the gap at the top has now been filled!
So, Christmas and New Year over, we closed the shop and cafe for two weeks whilst Hank and his team took down the old staircase, built a new one, along with a fireproof wall and porch in to the downstairs coffee shop/deli and upstairs cafe.  He got it all done and we opened again on time (more or less).  Closing a business for that length of time is pretty stressful as there is NO money coming in and everything you have taken over Christmas flies out the window.

the new top floor!

Hank is now finishing off the top floor which was built as a shell before Christmas.  The new glass doors will arrive soon, a floor will go down, bathroom in, kitchen and cookery equipment is all on its way.  We're looking to open it all at the beginning of March, which is very, very exciting.  Papa, being a teacher originally all those years ago, has been dreaming about teaching people how to do his favourite thing, which is cooking, and finally his moment has come..... well, nearly!!

We already have bookings for a hen night, some corporate cooking events and lots of interest in how to make Papa's delicious food, so things are so far so good.

If you'd like any information at all about how it's all going, what classes will be on offer or what catering services we offer - just email us info@papadeli.co.uk or phone 0117 973 6569.

Say Happy Christmas with a hamper.

It's not easy thinking of suitable presents for grown ups - but hampers hit the spot every time!

We've been doing lots and lots so far this Christmas at Papadeli.  There's been a real mixture of business ordering hampers for their staff, and individuals coming in and personally choosing what they'd like in the hamper.  We then arrange them in a basket and wrap up with a big bow.


Unusual ingredients
 

Mostarda fruits - slice with cheese - sweet & tangy gorgeousness!
Everything in our hampers comes from the deli, so everything is delicious.  Some people like to choose really interesting and unusual items, so that the recipient can try out some ingredients they wouldn't normal buy such as truffle oil, sweet mustard fruits (mostarda) or squid ink pasta.  




Chocolate hampers

Others go for complete indulgence and fill the basket with salted caramel truffles from Artisan du Chocolat, grappa soaked cherries covered in thick chocolate, tangy limoncello truffles, 85% dark chocolate bars.  Not forgetting the Prestat Babes chocolate covered jellies!
 





Spanish or Italian hampers

Some choose a theme which works really well.  The Spanish hamper for example can be filled with Ines Rosales olive oil biscuits, Ortiz bonito tuna, thick hot chocolate, membrillo and a slab of manchego. Gorgeous! Or equally as lovely is the Italian hamper packed with Latin delights such as fresh panforte, pecorino cheese, praline truffles, cantucci and a bottle of vin santo.


The great thing about hampers is that you know that every little bit will get eaten and enjoyed (except, perhaps, for the basket!)

Just email us info@papadeli.co.uk to ask about hampers or to order, or you can ring us on 0117 973 6569.

Papadeli hampers can be sent by courier all over the UK.

Rose petal baklava

Just had to let you know about these - at Papadeli we are always making delicious and beautiful things, of course - but, these are my favourite this week. 


Glistening and fragrant rosewater baklava.  Not only are they lovely to look at, they taste heavenly.
