Bird & Carter

Forget a limp supermarket sarnie. For a picnic on The Close or Old Sarum, head instead to Salisbury’s finest deli. The ethos at this award-winning store is simplicity itself – supply the best of everything and source locally where possible. Expect a wonderland of regional cheeses and home-cooked Wiltshire hams, Italian-style salamis and exquisite Pata negra Spanish ham. Fresh quiches and pastas are prepared daily to take away, and there are British and international-style breads, olives and antipasti to transform a simple picnic into a feast. We defy you to resist a slice of their homemade cake for dessert.
