a little bit about us

Our shop is located in the heart of Chorleywood Village. We currently have seating inside for 12 people, and for 16 people outside. For those who like to sit outside no matter the weather we also have outdoor heaters to help take the edge off.

Claudia and I met in 1999 when working together on a professional Pantomime - one of us was working backstage, the other was wearing thigh high leather boots (and it's probably not the way round you think!). 

In 2003 I graduated from Leith's School of Food & Wine with a Diploma in Food & Wine and a Laurent Perrier Award for Best Graduate. We immediately went in to business as a private catering company servicing clients in SW London and Hertfordshire.  In our two years we catered for various events from Weddings, Engagements and Birthdays to Housewarmings, Funerals and Office Parties. Our reputaion as a company led to us winning a Gold Award for Catering Services in 2004. In 2005 we decided to move back to our home area of Rickmansworth and open a Deli. 

Manna Fine Foods & Deli has grown in so many ways since it opened on June 16th 2005 both literally with the extension into the kiosk next door, but also with the volume of customers who come through our door, the range of food and goods on offer and the level of customer service we aim to provide.  We have had so many positive comments from the local community as well as visiting customers and regular customers who travel to Chorleywood to see us.

We are very proud of our achievements, our shop and our team of staff who work hard alongside us to ensure that we offer the best possible service (and coffees!) to all who come in.  Our stock changes regularly, our menu changes seasonally and we are always on the look out for new products and food ideas.  We hope you like our shop and maybe we will see you there soon.
