Appleyards now has competition from Deli on the Square which has opened a few yards away on Fish Street, but it is still well known as Shrewsbury's Deli. The window display for a start is something that will draw you in. It's worth standing across the road for a few minutes and watch people passing by. Not many of them can resist looking in the window, and the massive majority who do will stop walking for a proper look. That's the sign of a great high street shop. The top of Wyle Cop is always busy with pedestrians, making Applyards a great location for a deli. The window is very seasonal, filled with Italian panettone Christmas cakes or chocolate easter eggs, huge merengues and paella pans (the one inside above the counter has to be seen to be believed) and of course bowl after bowl of stuffed olives and peppers.

If you are standing outside looking through the window and someone opens the door, you can guarantee that heady aroma will convince you to take a browse inside. Floor to ceiling you will find everything you would expect to find in a good delicatessen. And if you can get near to the counter your eyes won't know what to look at first as the staff ask if they can help you from behind the riot of salami and cheeses. Appleyards also have to be applauded for their support for local producers such as Mr Moyden's Cheeses based in Newport and Monkhide Country Wines of Hereford. Appleyards also have a stall in the Pannier Market.
