Appleyards

One of those delicatessens that makes you stop outside and gaze in through the window. Filled with cured meats, cheeses, jars of olives and a whole lot more. A Shrewsbury institution.

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.

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.
