The Deli Downstairs
The Deli Downstairs offers best and freshest vegetables, cheeses, olives, fish, bread, quiches, sausage rolls, hand made pies, chutneys and cooked meats.
The shop smells gorgeous as soon as you walk through the door. The shop is full of fresh, seasonal and organic fruit and vegetables, British and Continental cheeses, pies and sausage rolls. The main counter displays a variety of home-made breads, pastries and cakes which look delicious.
Another treat offered by The Deli Downstairs is there ‘fill up yours own bottle’ of red or white wine! A delightful change for the usual supermarket bargain hunt, the Deli Downstairs sells Borough Wine Refills for a very reasonable price! The first bottle for £7.50 and refills are priced at £5 for a 750ml or £6 for 1lt.

The Lauriston
We went to the Lauriston for an afternoon drink and enjoyed a glass of Organic Honey Dew beer. The Lauriston is famous for its pizza, they offer fresh delicious flavours which makes the room smell yummy.
Su Sazzagoni
For dinner we went to Su Sazzagoni, a traditional Sardinian bar, restaurant, pizzeria and delicatessen offering a genuine taste of Sardinia in London. To start, we shared a Focaccia with garlic and mozzarella cheese and a glass of Sardinian champagne, the perfect aperitif. For main course I chose the Linguine all’astice, linguine with lobster, which was absolutely amazing and my dining partner went for the Grigliata mista di carne, charcoal grilled sausage, lamb, pork and chicken. served with roast potatoes.

I would certainly recommend them to anybody visiting Victoria Park Village, the meal was exquisite and the service was attentive.
Just another London foodie 
Some the eating places remind me of the pubs in Sweden. A nice eclectic mix.
