Focusing on fresh products, delicious food and the best local wine and craft beer goodness, this is all about the personal touch. Quite unlike anything else in Leytonstone, the Arch Deli feels warm and welcoming and easily somewhere you can spend an hour or two trying good local food and drink or to take home. Recommended.
