Our skilled butchers slice it fresh every single day, so every bite is tender, moist and bursting with that signature Craig Cook flavour.

Reviews Summary

Pork Ewe Deli is a highly acclaimed mother-daughter operated business lauded for its extensive selection of gourmet meats and cheeses from around the world. Customers consistently praise the friendly, knowledgeable staff who offer personalized recommendations and excellent service. While the deli is celebrated for its quality products and authentic Italian specialties, some reviews indicate it's a specialty store rather than a traditional restaurant.

"I love boutique delis and found this one on Google last weekend while we were in Newcastle and we were on the way home and drove 10km back the other way to check it out.
It was a great deli with soooo many fabulous items. The lady was super friendly, we chatted while we browsed. We came home with these goodies in their cute cold bag. The sausages were great, looking forward to trying the terrine and rilette.
Highly recommended!"

More charcuterie can be found a few suburbs over at Pork Ewe Deli in Mayfield, which also stocks a formidable range of cheese.
