Appleyards reviews...

Faith Louise

Appleyards simply only one word. Excellent.

Richard

An excellent deli, top class bacon and cheese and an eclectic mix of quality comestibles. All served by courteous friendly staff. I've been a regular customer for 6 years and have never been disappointed!

Visitor

Great products, yes, but staff that seem to find customers an inconvenience. I've been a regular until today and have put up with having to interject in staff conversations to get get served. Just a reminder to Appleyards that there are plenty of other quality delis in Shropshire.

Chas

Always been 100% satisfied, whether at Wyle Cop shop or Market Hall. Great products, friendly efficient staff - that sums it up!

H & K

What a wonderful experience! Excellent choice, friendly, helpful staff and stuffed with delights for all the senses. It's a pleasure just to stand and stare!

Appleyards disappoints. Overripe or dry cheeses, cramped shop, stale bread and uninspiring selection of deli goods spoils what should be a foodie bazaar. Overall, past its prime.

MJ

Very good selection of cheeses and all sorts of other stuff from cold meats to chocolate, paella pans to pumpkin seeds and various gourmet store cupboard treats with an emphasis on British and Mediterranean products. The best deli in Shropshire?

Appleyards bacon is THE BEST in our opinion in the COUNTRY!

We've travelled quite a bit around the UK and have yet to find a bacon to beat Appleyards! This is bacon as it used to be when I was a child; it FRIES not boils and the flavour is superb! If nothing else get some smoked streaky for a tasty treat either as a classic bacon butty or with pasta and home made tomato sauce or in a fry up - you can't beat it!

They have a stall in Shrewsbury's indoor market, too. It's a great place for discovering interesting cheeses.

Bernie & Viv

Bought some superb cheeses - but when we got home the wrapping doesn't tell us which ones they are!!! Also, way to much sellotape on the packages!

Apart from that, excellent shop, outstanding range of foods & very helpful staff.

We now have two good reasons for coming back to Shrewsbury!!

Appleyards proved too strong for Ludlow's Deli on the Square which opened a branch in Shrewsbury a few yards away from Appleyards, on Fish Street. Deli on the Square didn't last very long before closing. Appleyards is still Shrewsbury's number one 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.
