Southville Deli celebrates its 20th birthday By Bristol24/7, Monday Mar 15, 2021 Southville Deli is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. Started back in 2001 by Paul Wick and Arwel Edwards, the business has become a North Street stalwart. “We were very well received when we opened” recalls Paul. “We let the customers guide us as to what products they wanted to see on sale, and this played a big part in developing the business. Placing the initial order was quite nerve-wracking – I was spending a lot of money and needed to get it right!” “I wanted to focus largely on organic produce,” Paul says, “but I’m proud to say we’ve also acted as a springboard for small scale local food producers, who have difficulty getting shelf space with large organisations. This is reflected by our large range of beers and ciders brewed within the city, locally made chocolate, and cheeses produced in the countryside close by. And coffee beans roasted by Wogan Coffee, also based in Bristol.”
