Here’s some of the things the press have said about us:

Time Out, The Best of London
Best new deli
'The shelves of this Hampstead branch of the estimable
Primrose Hill deli are artfully stacked with a range
of British and Continental foodstuffs....
Most useful is a range of pre-prepared meals (soups,
imaginative salads and main courses) that can be
packaged for takeaway.'
Euan Ferguson July 2010

Ham and High
'Dropping into the Hampstead store last week, I sampled
a superb fruit and custard muffin with a crunchy
topping of crumble and toasted oats. You delved into
the moist cake to find first slightly sharp blackberries,
then a dollop of sweet custard. Genius.'
Bridget Galton June 17 2010


The Times, Christmas Shopping Guide
Lyn Harris, Perfumer Gift recommendations
"I'll be giving hampers from Melrose and Morgan, as they
are a classic gift."
December 2009

ES Magazine, Christmas at a Click
'Dinner Delivered:
Melrose and Morgan is a Primrose Hill institution. And for the
festive season, owners Nick Selby and Ian James offer
Christmas in a Box: choose free-range ready to cook Herefordshire
turkey, goose or beef Wellington.'
November 2009

Elle Decoration
A 6-page feature on Melrose and Morgan
'Food for thought:
The owners of London's coolest caterers Melrose and Morgan
might have an A-List following, but their approach to cooking
is refreshingly down to earth - think simple, seasonal dishes
made with the finest ingredients.'
July 2009

ES Magazine, Tom Aikens, Food Spy *Star Buy*
Melrose and Morgan Cheese Straws
‘Soft, bready texture with delicious pancetta overtones.’
March 2009

Time Out Shops and Services 2009
Sophisticated suppers become dreamily low-effort when you
shop at this ultra-foodie set-up. Made-on-the-premises dishes
range from roast aubergine dip to fish cakes, beef Wellington,
fresh peaches in lavender syrup. The array of cakes, brownies,
pasties and sausage rolls that covers the large table running
down the centre of the store is simply spectacular.

Time Out, Full of Beans -
Where to find London's Finest Brews
Head past the spectacular central table that's laden with
delicious goodies form carrot cake to beef Wellington, and
you'll find a niche of a coffee bar to the side of this
esteemed deli-traiteur's open plan kitchen. The coffee is,
as they say, good, honest, straightforward stuff - no
hazelnut syrup. They use organic milk 'from the milkman'
and Monmouth's espresso blend.

The Daily Telegraph, November 2008
The capital is lucky to have this extraordinarily stylish shop,
which will deliver le tout Christmas, including top-quality
Goodman's geese and turkeys, organic sausage meat and all
other accoutrements, plus plum puddings, sweet things and
cheeses. A time plan is supplied to make sure you cook and
heat everything in the right order. There are also time-saving
cheese tarts (blue cheese and walnut is perfect for the season)
and other creative goodies.
