Churchtown Deli

If you're after a proper sandwich in Southport, you can't go wrong with Churchtown Deli. It's not actually *in* Churchtown, mind you, it's right in the town centre, but don't let that put you off. They've got a great rating – 4.7 stars from nearly 70 reviews on Google – which tells you something. It's a bit pricier than your average supermarket meal deal, maybe a tenner for a decent sandwich and a drink, but the quality is there.

They do all sorts of deli bits and bobs too, cheeses, olives, that sort of thing. Good if you're putting together a picnic or fancy a nice lunch at home. The staff are always friendly, and they know their stuff. It's a popular spot, so sometimes there's a bit of a queue, especially around lunchtime.

Opening hours are pretty standard – 9 'til 5, Tuesday to Saturday. Closed Sundays and Mondays, so don't go making a special trip then. Give them a ring on 01704 224078 if you're after anything specific, or check out their website.

One tip: parking in town can be a pain, so either use one of the car parks (you have to pay) or try your luck on the streets a bit further out.
