local eats :: the mockingbird deli

 

Having just moved to the area recently, we're on the look out for a new list of favourites. Favourite restaurants, coffee shops, pubs...you get the jist. In a bid to avoid anymore unpacking, we decided to drive to the local town, Yarm, for a breather. If you've never visited Yarm, let me tell you, it's one of the quaintest little towns I've ventured to. The High street is super quaint, with lots of pretty independent stores, just begging to be shopped in. But, on this particular day, food was our priority, so we wandered into The Mockingbird Deli. Boy, am I glad we did. The deli is one of these little cozy nooks, that you want to have all to yourself all damn day. They have shelves full of tasty looking morsels and don't even get me started on the cake! After much deliberation, we decided on one of the meat and cheese deli platters. I'll let this photo speak for itself....

Are you drooling whilst you're reading this? Because I'm drooling as I type! Can you see the balsamic onions?? I think these were my favourite part! Unfortunately, my phone battery died straight after this photo, so I didn't get to show you how lovely the actual deli itself is, but I'm hoping to be back there sometime soon, so I'll fix this then!

So, if you're in the Yarm area, please give the deli a visit, even just for a coffee. You won't regret it. The staff are super friendly and I think they even have a resident dog...what more could you want? You can find them on Facebook here.
