Annnnnddddd just like that the weekend is done and dusted! It’s been a really busy time for us both in the shop and out with lots of things going on. Very much enjoyed our daughter down for a few days as she had left her job of 8 years with Harrods and started her new role today. Good luck gorgeous! We had a lovely afternoon at the spa Weds, company for a hospital appointment Thursday and then she did some cooking with us Friday. Of course I live in hope that we can palm off the shop onto her and retire - but that’s never gonna happen 😆😘. The fireworks at Watchet were simply stunning and watched from our garden as we are blessed with dogs that aren’t affected, I really feel for all people / animals who are. I start my Chairman duties this week with the Bicknoller Flower Show, and managed to double book with the Chiropractor (she’s awesome if anyone needs a pointer) 🤨.

Back to our usual busy Monday of creating and concocting - so lots ready to go out tomorrow. We have a pizza frittata - not often I do a meat one, but had some delicious salami and mozzarella to use. Ivor has made a Beef and Vegetable Pie as well as some 2 people Turkey, Ham and Mushroom Pies. Tomorrow I’m back into Chocolate dipped and yoghurt flapjack creation, oh and some of those huge cookies as they went down well.

Happy Monday - have a great week!

🎃 A LITTLE LESS COOKING, A LOT MORE TRICK OR TREATING! 👻

Freshly made today and ready for your freezer (or tomorrow night’s dinner!) - our homemade lasagne is one of our most popular ready meals. 😋

Layers of rich, slow-cooked beef bolognese, creamy sauce and plenty of cheese. Who doesn’t love homemade comfort food! ❤️

With Halloween tomorrow, why not make life a little easier? Whether you’re taking the children trick or treating or staying home to answer the door to all those little monsters, dinner is sorted!

And let’s face it, lasagne is usually a winner with the whole family! 🎃

Available in single and double portions from The Old Bank Deli.

👻 You sort the costumes and sweets, we’ll sort the supper!

I’ve been so busy flagrantly breaching the tomato code on the quiches today, and throwing caution to the wind with the standard flavours I’ve completely forgotten to post!

I made some rather scrummy Leek & Potato Soup earlier that’s all potted and ready for sale, tackled the great brownie shortage of October 2026 (they won’t be cut until tomorrow) and baked lots of sponges, before I went rogue on the quiches. Hopefully I won’t have to do any again for a couple of years - Ivor is thankfully very protective of this job, but we got cleared out yesterday 😂. So perhaps it will go from can’t have a day off to won’t have a day off. Only joking Ivy - they all look delicious.

Cheesecakes next.

🌧️ STORMY WEATHER CALLS FOR PROPER COMFORT FOOD! 🥘

With Storm Austin and friends seemingly queuing up to batter us, we’ve been busy cooking up something guaranteed to warm you from the inside out!

NEW! Beef Stew & Herb Dumplings ❤️

Tender, slow-cooked beef, chunky carrots, swede and vegetables, all nestled in a beautifully rich, savoury gravy and topped with homemade herb dumplings.

No shortcuts, no fuss — just proper, hearty, home-cooked food, exactly as it should be.

Perfect for those evenings when the wind is howling, the rain is lashing against the windows and the last thing you fancy doing is cooking!

Made right here in our little kitchen at The Old Bank Deli, ready for your freezer until you need a little comfort on a plate.

🍂 Autumn comfort food at its finest!

Surprise surprise! 👒

We do have sour dough this week, I might have told a few people incorrectly as James got his half terms muddled up. So we have it this week but not next week.

Spanking warm - grab it whilst you can.

Artisan bread, south west grains - no additives.

🌧️ Grey skies, grizzly weather… and a little something to brighten your Monday! 🍐🍰

It might be thoroughly miserable outside, but there’s nothing miserable about what’s coming out of our kitchen this morning!

Fresh Pear, Walnut & Stem Ginger Cake ❤️

Made with fresh pears, crunchy walnuts and warming stem ginger, this beautifully moist, sticky cake is packed with all those lovely autumnal flavours.

And because we don’t believe in doing things by halves, there’s a little extra ginger goodness on top!

The sort of cake that makes you forget about the weather outside… well, almost! ☔️

Freshly baked, generously sliced and on the counter today at The Old Bank Deli.

Go on, Monday needs cheering up! 🍂

Busy busy here at TOB, much of this is for orders going out tomorrow and I have just finished pulling out the ovens the fruits of Ivor’s labours this morning. Some specially ordered quiche (always happy to do any flavour we can) some large pies and two person pies as well.

We have also got chocolate and coffee and walnut cakes going off tomorrow for birthdays. 🎂

The rest are traybakes for topping and cutting - carrot cake, a double load of pear walnut and ginger and of course brownies. Oh and 10kg of Somerset Pork nurdling away and smelling divine 😍

Phew - must get on, aqua aerobics tonight followed by an AGM for a local club I volunteer for. Never a dull moment 😬.

Some of you may have seen the summer window design coming down yesterday, and today seen the extremely talented Alex Williams doing the autumn themed window to carry us through until Christmas.

Absolutely excelled herself again - isn’t it gorgeous? The colours are stunning. 🍂 🎃

Pop over to her page and have a look at some of her other work….

Annnnndddd of course come and admire it in person 🎨 🧑‍🎨 😍

Back to the meatier pies now for the cooler months, today we have a beef and vegetable in a rich gravy slicing pie available.

Tomorrow we will be making a small amount of the 2 person steak and kidney pies, so get your order in if you want one.

For me today, lots of requests for soup, having sold out of our first batches of Leek & Potato and Roasted Root Veg. We have run out of Somerset Pork in the ready meal freezer too so that’s on the list along with a frittata 😉 best get cracking.

🍂 Hello Autumn! 🍂

Well, that was a properly wet and windy walk to work this morning! 🌧️💨 And judging by the start we’ve had to the week, autumn has most definitely arrived.

We have been VERY busy in the kitchen already — just look at this lot! 😍 Freshly baked and now all waiting to be portioned up for the counter. We’ll be going through every knife, chopping board and available inch of worktop shortly 😂

A bread pudding that’s currently too hot to handle, Quiches, pies, frittatas, tarts and plenty more homemade goodies are coming out of the kitchen - exactly the sort of food you want when the weather turns a bit grim outside. 🥧🍂

And if you’re waiting for your bread, today’s fresh bread delivery arrives around 12 noon 🥖

So, raincoat on, hood up and come and see us — we’ve got the comfort food covered! ❤️

Open until 5pm today.
