The Black Olive Deli
The Black Olive Deli in Darlington has been established since 1973, so it would be fair to say they know what they’re doing. A range of homemade savoury and sweet treats are on offer, baked fresh daily. Don’t forget to check out the shelves upon shelves of homemade chutneys and jams either.

Dene’s Deli

244 Jesmond Road, Jesmond NE2 1LD
Il Piccolo
he range of Italian cured meats on offer here go very well with the drinks selection available – think fine wines, beers and Prosecco. Be sure to leave room for the home-baked bread, cakes and biscuits too, then wash it all down with an Italian coffee.
St Helen’s Street, Corbridge NE45 5BE
JP’s Deli and Café
You’ll find a little bit of everything at JP’s Deli and Café including home-made bread, sausages, quiches (which are extremely popular), Scotch eggs and a variety of locally sourced produce.

Fresh food from around the globe can be found here. The meat and fish selection includes everything from bacon to crab and their cheeses are sourced from Yorkshire to Snowdonia.

109 High Street, Yarm TS15 9BB
Grainger Market
It may just have celebrated its 181st birthday, but the market's managed to keep itself young by bringing in new blood like Italian deli La Casa alongside its established names. With so many stalls here – meat, fish, bread, cakes, cheese, crêpes – it's basically the whole city's deli.
131 Grainger Street, Newcastle NE1 5AE

Tully’s of Rothbury
As well as standard deli fare (meats, cheeses, fruit, vegetables and what have you), Tully’s of Rothbury also have a great line in specialist foods, including wheat free, gluten free, meat free and dairy free and, with such dedication to their customers’ individual needs, it’d be rude not to pay them a visit.
