There's always time for a takeaway

It's a miserable winter's day outside, so why not grab a takeaway lunch to cheer yourself up?

Enjoy warming home-made soup or a freshly-baked potato... or feel especially virtuous with one of our salad boxes!

Cheer up your cabbage

We've recently produced a little newsletter for all our customers, regular and new. Please feel free to pick one up when you next call in.

As well as containing a Victorian cake recipe, it also has some tips for spicing up your winter veg. Here's how to cheer up your cabbage!

Find yourself a cabbage – red, white or green – then chop it, wash it and stir fry it with olive oil and a little crushed garlic. Alternatively, chop and wash your cabbage, then blanch it (which means boiling until it’s almost cooked). Drain it, drizzle it with olive oil, add some chilli flakes or curry powder and roast it in a hot oven for around ten minutes.

Seasonal weather

We've never been happier to see rain!

It looks like the weather's back to 'normal' today. That's going to make it much easier for everyone to get around the city. Just one question: what are we going to talk about now?

Dashing through the snow!

The snow's been slowing us down slightly during the last few days... but we're determined to open the deli as much as possible (as long as we can battle through the weather and the traffic). We even had a brave soul sitting at one of our outside tables yesterday!

Chilled choices

The temperature's falling in Brighton... but that doesn't mean we've been neglecting our drinks fridge!

As well as offering fresh smoothies and juices, we also have a wide variety of cold drinks available - including Belvoir elderflower presse, ginger beer, lemonade and loads of other tasty choices.

Snow in Brighton

It's another snowy day in Brighton with the buses cancelled and the trains running a reduced service. We're struggling to make it into town - so apologies if you're waiting in the cold for a bacon sarnie.

Back to normal

We're now completely back to normal. Not that we weren't normal yesterday(!), it's just that we hadn't quite finished giving the shop a post-Christmas tidy until mid-morning. Everything's now re-stocked and we're thoroughly looking forward to 2010.

A Happy New Year from The Laine Deli

A very Happy New Year to all our customers and friends!
