Wigston Deli – known locally as Not Just A Cornershop – is proof that a traditional neighbourhood newsagent can still thrive by serving its community well and offering something a little different.
Alongside newspapers, magazines and everyday essentials, you’ll find a carefully chosen range of local food and drink. The shelves regularly feature products from respected regional producers including Hambleton Bakery and Vine Farm Dairy, making it a useful stop for more than just the daily paper. Homemade cobs are popular at lunchtime, while a friendly welcome keeps customers returning throughout the day.
What really sets Wigston Deli apart is its curry counter. Owner Pratik Master, our 2020 Food Hero of the Year, has built a loyal following for his authentic heat-at-home curries, homemade snacks and imaginative creations. His food combines traditional Indian flavours with a willingness to try new ideas, whether that’s freshly prepared curries for a family meal or one of his latest inventions such as the popular Naan Bombs.
Wigston Deli is a business that has evolved over the years while remaining firmly rooted in the local community. Whether you’re picking up a newspaper, fresh bread, local milk, lunch or dinner, it’s a shop well worth supporting.
