A coastal deli has been named the best in the entire country at a major national awards ceremony.  

The Norfolk Deli was opened by couple Mark and Rosie Kacary in 2014 along Greevegate in Hunstanton.

In 2019, the pair then expanded with a café around the corner in the High Street.

They work with 80 local producers and their website boasts an online farmers' market, so customers across the country can build their own hampers.

Mr Kacary said: "We won the regional award once before in 2020 and have been a finalist in the deli category five times.

"But to come away with two awards on our tenth anniversary is fantastic and we were up against some wonderful delis."

Mr Kacary is also behind the new West Norfolk Food & Drink Festival along Hunstanton High Street, with the next one on Sunday, June 16 2024 from 10am to 3pm. 

The other Norfolk finalists were Church Farm Shop in Hethersett in the small farm shop category and Willow Tree Delicatessen at Wroxham Barns for newcomer.
