- Chef and owner David John Kelly infuses history and memory into his takes on British pies, pastries and sandwiches. While the chef stays true to the origins of these staples, he nonetheless adds his own touch, adapting his flavours to the seasons, trends and ingredients available in france. This deli nullifies anyone's doubts about the value of British cuisine.

Memes about British food being terrible is fun and all, but this video encapsulates what British food is really like. Every town or city in the UK has a place like this, you just need to know where to look.
The reputation regarding our food goes back to the war when American (and other nationality) troops were stationed in the UK. People were on rations - hardly any butter, meat, eggs, fruits, vegetables, cheese etc. so food was very bland and very basic. Lots of stooge and improvisation to make meals out of next to nothing. In the US, there was no rationing, food was in abundance. Unfortuatnely the reputation stuck and now it's become a cliche but one that is completely wrong. Both my mum and grandmother were fantastic cook, and not wishing to be big-headed so am I. We'd have gorgeous roasts, lots of home baking, soups, hearty casseroles and divine puddings - lemon meringue, sticky toffee pudding, my mum even made her own ice cream (and that was back it the 70s) and it was delicious. It's a shame the old myths till persist. I have lived in France and America and spent a lot of time in Greece and Italy and our food is as good as you will find anywhere - especially when it comes to ingredients.
You don't even know where to look... they're everywhere.
Less so in London which is a kebab or chicken shop every 2 metres (not that I'm really complaining, love a kebab)
@@Jenjenilouno. Just no. You cannot compare British food to the deep flavours of Italian, Greek, Spanish, French, Turkish, American, or in fact any other cuisine. The only cuisine British food is comparable to is Scandinavian cuisine, which has rich sweet pastries, but offers bland savoury dishes.
@@vibranium-riprich314 American😭😭😭 lmfao
This is phenomenal and I can safely say you don't even find deli's like this London.
You sort of do and don't. I suppose the closest thing would be a bakery, but these often don't make pies, etc. It is an interesting point as to why there aren't more that all British baked goods
@@BiGAAAAAAAAAALLLLL you find the odd pockets with traditional bakeries here and there but they sure are a dying breed. Deli's like this should be found on every street corner!
@@thomasbentley3348 too many corporations with cheaper meal deals. There won't be any small businesses left soon.
If you're ever passing through New Mills in Derbyshire there's the Sett Valley cafe which is exactly like this, run by an ex restaurant chef and his wife. The pies are off-the-scale superb and in the same spirit - traditional but adventurous with a bit of modernising know-how. I'll definitely be checking this place out through when next in Paris! So pleased it's doing well; there's not enough interest in British food globally, and it can be amazing when it's done right.
@@alistairkirk3264 That sounds great.. When done right our food can compete with any of the worlds cuisines.. it seems though as a collective our appreciation for food and food being engrained into our culture is not as strong as other nations..Theres an amazing cafe called Terrys Cafe in London if you're ever there.. a long standing cafe with truly brilliant British classics
Every English person watching this is wondering what a British Deli is
True! but a nice video
A bakery with a sandwich bar. There's one in every town but you probably just eat maccers because capitalism usurps culture for most people.
Greggs. That's the quintessential British Deli.
Posh greggs
its interesting because they are british classics, very traditional in one sense but also slightly more french in that the french are more discerning and the sanwiches reflect this.
I had a sandwich from here in December 2023 (the house classic). It's probably the best sandwich I've ever had!
Any good chef takes traditional recipes and makes them their own. He’s doing a terrific job and his food looks incredible, I will visit one day! 😍
Brilliant. Good to see a British Baker representing in France
a sage, chicken, and onion stuffed pie sounds really amazing.
It is!
Sunday dinner in a pie!
it is
"Project Sausage" nailed it
I like how this shop puts so much filling inside their pasties/sandwiches.
A good deli knows it lives or dies by its reputation, whereas supermarkets, corner shops and petrol stations know they can sell any old crud because their customers are either limited in their choices or budget, exhausted, or in a mad rush.
My Grandfa always advised me, that if ever lost abroad, to look for the English Breakfast signs. They're in every country the UK has a consul in, and will at least understand me. :D
You poor soul. personally I look forward immensely to trying food in other countries. Remarkably easy to learn a few words of any other language! if they can, we can!
@@helenswan705 Imagine being this condescending, holy
Doesn't really help the immediate issue of being lost, though, does it?
I mean, sure, you get to smugly order a nice bowl of traditional local stew, but you're still no closer to finding your bloody hotel, are you?
@@helenswan705He didn’t say he was going to eat there, just ask for directions. You must be a bore at parties.
I’m going to paris next week to drink lots of French wine and eat French pastries but I’ll definitely have to give this place a go. The food quality looks incredible.
Do a lot of research and trust the real locals. Paris can have some hidden gems but there is also an insane amount of tourist traps that will sell you overpriced "traditional" meals.
Anyone who says we have bad food is ignorant.
There's a lot more ignorance from people seeing British food as unseasoned because the seasonings used are fresh and not from a jar
Agree
Not really.
A lot of our traditional food isn't great, because it's normally peasant food made at a time where we didn't have access to much in the way of herbs or spices.
But the ignorant bit is when people forget that EVERY country has a lot of rubbish traditional food because of the exact same issue.
U wot m8?
The food looks of incredible quality and I love to see our neighbours buying our sublime food. A truly delicious sandwich is the cheddar cheese and salted white onion in a blackened top cob roll left to room temp. Genuine world beater. Would scream to people in that window, I reckon. Incredible work. Great video
I don’t think you have lucked out. You created your own luck and well done to you.
I'm super glad you managed tirelessly to translate this English speaking gentleman into subtitles for us English speaking people 🤣
My man has never heard of deaf people.
@davebrown9707 My man has never heard of closed captions option 🤣
@@GrandSlamScotty yes because auto generated closed captions are always really reliable arent they?
@@GrandSlamScotty You mean like at 1:58 where closed caption says 'smoked ions' instead of 'smoked lardons'
@@masterbeethoven8209 Gotta love my ion sandwich
Very delicious and excellent food . Great Video . 🏅🏅🏅🏅
Wrong about pork pies being generslly bland - that does depend where you are in the country, there's a lot of variety. But I wish we had more places producing trad English baking as good as this in the UK. They've all been killed of by Greggs and their mush slices.
I've lived in Scotland for 8 years i'm yet to eat a Scotch pie that wasn't a a mush filled tragedy!
He's a southerner, probably brought up on those grey and insipid Melton Mowbray abominations! If he gets back to the UK he ought to travel north and try a Yorkshire pork pie/stand pie with its beautifully pink cured meat - much more flavoursome.
@@Jafmanz That's sad to hear. I haven't eaten a Scotch pie in Scotland for a very very long time (in Dumfries, I think) but I remember liking it.
@@jackethangs5570 I don't get how Melton Mowbray got it's reputation tbh. You don't have to go far to get to Loughborough and Birds Bakery will sell you one far superior (and cured - though not so much as in Yorkshire maybe).
Yeah, Greggs :(
What a nice place and awesome person. Kudos!
This place looks amazing
Considering how France is turning out I hope this is like this can survive
I really enjoyed that!
awesome concept. Well done Chef
This is so fantastic. Will be sure to visit if I ever go to Paris
Epic. Now I’m hungry 👏🏻
Adam Richman of Man vs Food fame stopped eating quantity and now eats quality. He is touring the UK and you can see clips of British food classics on UA-cam. Adam Richman eats Britain.
Those sausage rolls look amazing
The food looks fantastic.
Midlands pork pies are never bland - loaded with black pepper if nothing else.
Brilliant!
Cool guy cool shop :) Thankyou
Nice Piece I enjoyed that
Shame that British pie shops and sarnie shops in the UK can't have a window that well stocked and food with that quality. Every single one you walk into from north to south feels like the bleeding waiting room at an A&E that happens to have a sandwich counter.
You've stated that perfectly. It's annoyed me for years. We have to go to France to get good British food??
He knows his onions as they say ,well done
why is it recorded for square tv?
Glad to see its success
Love it! I was hoping you would speak to some of his customers though???
It's a great point and something we will be trying to do
Those pasties look so good
I don’t the stereotype that British food is bad, nothings better then bangers and mash or a full English breakfast
Brilliant. I'd love to see a bit of branching out into Welsh, Scots, English, Irish - even particular regional dishes. enormous scope for such an enthusiastic and talented cook.
very cool, absolute inspiration...but it hurt what you said about pork pies!
A proper English pork pie, cold, with pickles, and salad cream. Heaven.
nice video. Needs more footage of the finished products though!!
Nice to see Passion overcome Snobbery.
What a legend
Fantastic. Those pies all looked incredible.
Would have loved to hear some feedback from his French customers.
Would of beeb nice to have some comments from customers.
Yes we agree too, for next time
Was thinking the same. I clicked hoping to hear what French people think of such a shop. It was still interesting, but felt a bit like a business pitch just having the owner talking about his ambitions.
fantastic video, lovely to see
I need to go here and I live in the UK!
Keep meaning to stop by here. I need my scotch egg fix!
will visit when next in pari
Pain de Mi

Well, yes... ua-cam.com/video/A7QT7_aQrG0/v-deo.htmlsi=c2JXs5oJyU6fARRG
Noice. Stick with it!
I have to try those two sandwiches, anyone know aa good recipe for them?
Would loved to have seen some customer conversations.
This definitely felt too short. Could have watched a lot more!
That's a Devon pastie, a Cornish pastie is crimped along the side!
It's neither 'cos it's made in France! Looks good though!
A dangerous shop for me i would have to walk far around too much love for the puff pastry pie
“Very traditional Cornish pasty”
>Instantly discredited by the camera cutting to a top crimp nightmare
Plus, the protected status of the pasty means it can't be called Cornish if it's not made in Cornwall. Even top crimped pasties made in Cornwall do not qualify for "Cornish".
RRUUUUUUUUUULLLLE BRITANNIA, BRITTANIA RULES THE WAVES
Very cool, but would have been nice to see him interacting with some customers...
Brilliant 👍🏻I get what he means about the bland pork pie, but a cold slice with salad cream.. Oh boy
The British are coming! 🇬🇧
These look waaay above the standard of regular pasties I've seen in the UK. No wonder he's doing well.
The standard used to be fantastic but now it's just takeaway ready to eat rubbish and junk food. Too lazy to cook from scratch
Boy, the word deli does not mean the same everywhere.
Aww go on do a billy bear sammich
Le Roast Beefs
I agree that pork pies can be a bit bland, i cover mine in salt, really brings out the flavour.
Mustard or Branston pickle
They are already salty. You just have terrible taste if you think they need more salt. Do you salt you bacon too? I'd hate to see you blood pressure
'traditional pasty' then it's crimped along the top :'D
Cornish pasty- og
It’s only a Cornish pasty if it’s made in Cornwall!!
British Food and French Ingredients, dream team.
Oi do you have a loicense for such a banger of a name for a deli?
hmmmmmmmmm
How about scotch eggs?
Don't mind if I do. Nice of you to offer.
A British bakery in France is kind of like a French auto dealer in Germany 😆
British classics with French quality produce? Hell yeh
British produce is every bit as good as french what are you on?
@@davebrown9707 More accurate to say it CAN be every bit as good(and it really can be, I would put money on English strawberries and asparagus in season), but it usually is not. I lived in France and the supermarkets are a world apart in quality there :).
@@ZAMINA1985 literally just not true we produce the best beef and lamb in the world. We produce the best berries in the world we produce very high quality vegetables. Yes France does better on certain items but so do we that's how it works. Also our cheese is better
@@ZAMINA1985 out of season both Britain and france import food which generally isnt as good.
@davebrown9707 look mate, you seem to want to argue this.
I've lived in both countries.
British beef can be fabulous, if you find a good supplier.
Every summer I go foraging for the berries, yes they're amazing.
But you're having a laugh if you think the average produce here is actually as good as the average in France.
I mentioned supermarkets, but it goes beyond that.
Let me put it another way, the BASELINE in the UK is not great.
The best of British can, imho, compete with anyone.
Go into pretty much any British supermarket and tell me the chicken there is good. Or the fish.
Then pick somewhere on a high street, let's use Greg's as it keeps coming up. Buy one of their saisage rolls and disssect it. The meat is gopping.
Repeat for Nando's chicken or any mainstream pizzeria etc.
I repeat, the baseline is lower.
Any other cornish folk wince at the top crimp on the pasty 😂
Would Greggs in Paris be well received as well as this?
That’s a Devon pasty, not a Cornish
Project Emulsified High-Fat Offal Tube?
lol @ English guy speaking clear English and the UA-camr thinks we all need subtitles.
What a cool spot.
I have to say I felt like his assessment of pork pies was a personal attack. Pork pies can be bland but you have to go to proper northern mining towns to get the world class ones. Theres a pork pie shop in st helens (not exactly a tourist destination) which I rate as my favourite classic pork pie. Its called burchalls and the owner has put his recipe online. Very basic but blows melton mowbray etc out the water
ua-cam.com/video/UOawK9F31cs/v-deo.html
I was surprised to see a mention of St Helens, but if it's as good as that I'll try to remember next time i'm there.
If you're ever in Frodsham, check out Coward's pies.
@@user-el2wu1yi6x oh nice. I’ll check it out. We need a north west culinary hidden gem youtube channel haha
English food isn't bad, but English cooking can be terrible. What England doesn't have is named dishes that are regarded as examples of fine cuisine. It's more just hearty comfort food.
So basically every northern country.
And they crucify you for saying English food is great. This is proper English grub; up there with the best cuisines of the world.
As an Spaniard I would try it, and that is quite a compliment to say about "Brit" food. 😂😂😂❤❤❤
Spanish food is certainly no better m8.
rice and fish or eggs and potato!
culinary masterpieces.....
Usual misplaced Spanish arrogance, Britain has more Michelin stars than Spain.
Spanish food always looks like crap.
Think you’ve listened to too much american post-ww2 slander my friend, food here is great if you dont go to a sloppy takeaway or eat from-frozen meals
At least "homemade", comparing to most of the French bakeries and restaurants serving precooked industrial food and deceiving the customers.
Happy to watch British authentic gastronomy, making a difference in Paris.
Good luck, British Deli 🍀🌹
love it, but you need to bake your own loafs of bread. French loafs of bread are awful, IDK what they do to them but they are full of sugar or soemthing
So, in fact, about as far removed from a British pork pie as you can get. Shouldn't be allowed to call it that.
Yes to pies and pasties.
Not a big fan of sandwiches.
I never thought English food could actually look tasty.
Its tasty and im filipino
Thats not a traditional cornish pasty at all
Humpty Dumpty feels very important doesn’t he 😂
But to be fair if I lived in Paris I’d be in his shop a couple of times a week for those lovey pies and pasties.
>British Deli
Ah the brownie and cookie. Quintessentially British…
I suppose its a bit like the Americans claiming pizza, pasta, burgers and French fries. I doubt he's claiming these to be British but if you go to most bakeries in the UK you would find cookies and brownies.
@@terrancedactielle5460 I agree. However, if your schtick is “British Deli”, probably best to stick to things from there. We have very good cakes and biscuits you know!
Cookies in their modern form were invented by the British. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cookie
@@FunFunFun120 Not the point though, is it?
@@clundgeweepyes its exactly the point what are you talking about. How about the phrase as American as apple pie? Apple pie being British too
Better British deli in Paris than in Britain
Maybe where your from
I mean. Trust france to have better english food than england. Meanwhile we got greggs
Blasphemy Greggs is a national treasure
There are thousands of local bakeries all over the uk
@@davebrown9707 the problem is they are mostly not very good. The English don't care or don't notice. Case in point, yourself.
@@ed1726 conditioned by time and financial pressures to get something that is *okay*. I mean, people who have half hour lunches are not going to get the best there is. Not to mention if your comparison point is MacDonald's etc...
In Italy a 2 hour lunch is quite normal. Do you think people will get Greggs if they have 2 hours, or will they sit down somewhere that makes fresh food?
@@ZAMINA1985 In this case we are talking about a bakery. Takes the exact same time and effort to go into this one as it would to go into Greggs. Too many people don't care that food in England is poor, or don't acknowledge the fact, or even worse somehow try to defend it (case in point you).
Getting things wrong is fine. Actually in many ways its the same process as getting things right and equally as laudable. Getting things wrong and making excuses is the worst outcome, as it means you will never learn to get things right, which is what really matters at the end of the day.
INCOMING CORNISHMAN! That is not a Cornish pasty! The crust should be on the side not on top and it has to be made in Cornwall.
Yawn
Nobody cares does it taste the same?
@@davebrown9707trust me, people care. Especially when he calls it "very traditional" and it doesn't even look right.
I make a traditional French baguette, it's a loaf of bread.
That's dumb. That's like saying French Bread can only be made in France. And not every pasty made in Cornwall has the crust on the side.
@@KGBgringo ok nobody with a life or real problems cares
yet another place that does not butter the bread on a sandwich!
WHY!!!!!!!!???????
Probably because the butter would have to be spreadable , but in that heat it would turn a bit weird
@@christophersansom7751
Listen fella... spreadable butter is fairly easy to do...
we have been spreading it on bread for hundreds of years...
It's not as difficult as making pastry....
OK...
Friend, please desist from using super as an adverb. We’re not Americans.
super is often used by french as well and there are lot more americans than brits in Paris, he might have got it from there.
@@kiranpandiyan159 Looking at the numbers there seems to be more brits, which makes sense as france is 20 miles away
Are brownies and cookies British?
He’s saying he’s selling pork pies in Paris?
Sounds like he’s telling porkies 😁
There are no British spins on brownies and cookies, then? He didn’t say he only sold pork pies either.
@@hannah60000 no you’re right. England and America are basically the same country anyway.
I did watch the video, so I saw he does more than pork pies.
Maybe read my comment and then wonder how many times you’ve missed the point
@@deemo5245 well they aren't american either
Do you tell the yanks that BBQ is from the carribean and hot dogs are from germany
@@sommerblume9671 he doesn’t have an American bakery in Paris. Are you anti American or something?
That roast beef sandwich 🥪 looked delicious! 👍
Food looks fantastic, but let's be fair, this guy is more of a baker than a chef.
