Bringing Spanish inspiration to the Italian Deli
Darwen Market’s popular delicatessen and café, Deli Carlo’s, has been bought by local couple Jackie Aspinall and Steven Wood.The couple, who have experience of running food businesses locally, are keen to build on their predecessor’s success.
It will always retain its Italian focus, although some wider Mediterranean influences may start to appear on the menu. Jackie spent 11 years living in Spain, so has a wealth of culinary experience that she picked up there.
Jackie, whose talents appear to be endless, is qualified in British Sign Language and is able to sign to customers. After a special request, Deli Carlo’s will be offering a regular signed coffee morning.
