The French Deli
“We need the market to work. It really hurts to see empty shops and landlords just leaving”, says the owner of the French deli, L'epicerie at number 56. Along with Venetia at the coffee shop across the road, Remi was something of a pioneer on the street, a local resident who has been in business in Chatsworth Road since the end of 2007. Blackforest ham, bresaola, chorizo, fennel salami, fresh hummous and campaillou sourdough bread are all for sale at what he describes as a fine food shop as much as a deli. Much of the produce comes direct by van from Rungis, an enormous wholesale market outside Paris and from fair trade cooperatives.
