We can't get enough of cheese and charcuterie boards, comfort food and fantastic wines this time of year. Here are some of our favourite delis, cheese & wine shops where you can stock up on everything you need for a decadent grazing board (including Breakin'Bread) or sit in for a glass or two.
1. Bermondsey Corner
A fantastic spot on Bermondsey Street, offering gorgeous cheese, wines and fresh bakery goods. In the morning, swing by for a coffee and a pastry or pop by for a baguette and some gorgonzola (and accidentally come away with a whole lot more) in the afternoon. In the evening, grab a seat and enjoy a bottle of wine and a great cheese & charcuterie board.

2. Superette
Filled with hand-picked, quality products, we've never succeeded in leaving Superette empty-handed. With two great locations, one on Upper Street in Islington and the second on Swain's Lane by Hampstead Heath, Superette has got you covered with everything from granola, dairy and pantry staples to takeaway dishes, wine and fresh baked goods. Pick up a pack of fresh crumpets if they have some, you won't regret it.

When down in St Ives, Cornwall, this gorgeous neighbourhood bar and bottle shop, serving up low intervention wines and small plates, is a must-visit. This part of the glorious Cornish coast gets a lot of attention in the summer months, but is not to be overlooked in autumn and winter as well. Settle in by the window and enjoy quality dishes and delicious wine with a view of the windswept coastline.
