The Rustic Kitchen journey

Hey,

Welcome to Rustic kitchen & Deli or as we call it, RKD. The journey here has been a long one, starting from a shared dream conjoured up during busy restaurant services when we worked at a local restaurant together over 15 years ago to now. Where we share an award winning café and deli in the heart of Mountsorrel. We both shared the same dream to have a place where you could get a banging full English and a spectacular coffee in a suburban setting  

 Our formula to everything we do is simple get an idea, think about it. Test it, make it again taking into consideration what you did prior and do it again better!

The Journey

Setting up RKD

From the moment customers stepped through the doors, they are transported into a world of rustic charm. The aroma of expertly brewed coffee and the inviting personality of the décor created a warm and comforting atmosphere.

Tom and Lee's expertise allowed them to meticulously craft a menu that showcases their passion for wholesome ingredients and time-honoured techniques. From hearty breakfast platters to mouth-watering sandwiches and succulent slow-roasted meats, each dish was a testament to their commitment to culinary excellence.

The opening of Rustic Kitchen and Deli marked a turning point not only for Tom and Lee but also for the community of Mountsorrel, Sileby, Rothley and Loughborough. Their small café quickly became a beloved destination where friends gathered, families celebrated and the aroma of delicious food mingled with the warmth of genuine hospitality.
