Family-run deli which 'goes the extra mile' is a huge hit with customers
A family-run deli that 'goes the extra mile' said they would be 'over the moon' to win the borough's best of award.
Deli-Boys Delicatessen has been shortlisted for The Bolton News' best farm, deli or butchers shop 2025.
The deli has been supplying shoppers with meats, cheeses and a range of homemade goods from their stall in Bolton Market for the last eight years.
Martin Farrimond, 43, said that he was 'shocked' to learn that they had been nominated.
He said: 'I was shocked because I've been doing this for a very long time really – and I suppose it perked me up a bit!
'I think it's the customer service and the quality of our products – it can only be those two things – because it's not about the price.
'It's expensive – but it's homemade.'

Mr Farrimond runs the business with his mum and dad – and boasts that 85 per cent of what they sell comes out of his mum's kitchen.
He said: 'I generally believe that we as a company – me, my mum and my dad – go the extra mile.'
As well as bread, meat and cheese – Deli-boys sell homemade treats, pies, condiments and a wide range of products.
The deli also runs a home delivery service advertising '£10 Deli to Door'.

Mr Farrimond said said: 'Thanks very much for nominating us – we really appreciate it – but come and buy something in the market some time.
'I'd be over the moon if we won – but more over the moon for my mum because she makes everything!'
