The Country Kitchen is a fantastic Delicatessen situated on Ventnor High Street and has been part of the local community for many years.
Owner for the last three years, Wim Stoorvogel – a dutch man who obviously knows his stuff, has created a little slice of heaven in Ventnor, by stocking some wonderful gourmet items, as well as day to day groceries.
Each morning when he arrives at the shop he bakes the bread and pastries ready for the day.
You can find fresh meats and cheeses imported from Holland, as well as local butter and milk. There are biscuits, chocolates, a huge range of Pataks curry pastes, sauces, and some wonderful soups, including the traditional Dutch ones as well as such delights such as Turkey and Cranberry – there’s something to get your taste buds going.
The shop also carries a great range of teas, coffees and fresh coffee beans which you can take home as they are, or have ground on the premises.
With the table and chairs placed comfortably within the shop, why not take a pew and sample the fresh coffee for yourselves along with a freshly filled baggette and pastry?
Wim believes it is important to listen to his customers, so following a survey last year, he now stocks more gluten free items, including flour, biscuits, cakes, pasta as well as many soya products too.
Wim always stocks special items for Christmas and as he regularly pops back to Holland to pick up new products he thinks you might like, it’s worth visiting the shop on a regular basis.
