About Us

The Natural Food Deli started it's life back in 2012 as The Natural Apothecary, run by a family of husband and wife, daughter and her husband. Carmen, Martin, Livvy and James. They carefully grew the business for the next 10 years before eventually selling in 2023 to a local Petersfield resident and long term loyal customer, Robert.

 

In 2019, the original owners changed the name to it's current iteration of The Natural Food Deli with a view to adding a few more 'grab and go' items, but the onset of Covid-19 put paid to that and the priority became just about surviving through those difficult times. It was this period that was the beginning of the decision to sell.

 

On 1st March 2023, Robert opened the doors for his first day as new owner of this much loved and well established Petersfield favourite. Since then, small changes have been made to the business, but we remain loyal to those original roots and keep mindful of what our business means to those who enjoy coming to see us.

 

Under Robert's careful guidance and ownership, we are slowly adding new and exciting elements to the offerings we have, and will continue to do so through careful planning and always, by listening to our customers. In 2023 alone we have added Delivery options, Evenings, Additional outdoor seating, Alcohol sales, Judes Ice cream, changed coffee supplier to a local roaster - River Coffee in Alresford - and taken on a number of outdoor catering events including the Mayor of Petersfield's Christmas Party.
