The Refill and Deli

The Refill and Deli stands on Somerset Place in the heart of Teignmouth, providing a practical alternative to conventional supermarkets through its focus on zero-waste principles. Shoppers bring their own containers to refill with everyday items, eliminating unnecessary packaging and supporting more mindful consumption habits.

A broad selection of dry goods awaits on the shelves, ranging from herbs and spices to grains, pulses, pasta, and loose-leaf teas. Liquid stations dispense local honey, oils, vinegars, and coffee beans directly into customer containers.

The household and bodycare section includes eco-friendly cleaning products and personal care refills, allowing precise quantities to suit individual needs and reducing excess waste.

The deli counter forms a central feature, stocked with artisan cheeses, cured meats, and an olive bar where customers select exactly what they require. Local Devon producers supply much of the fresh produce, ensuring high-quality items that highlight regional flavours. Complementing these are bottles of wine, craft beers, and ciders, alongside sweet treats such as baklava and cannoli prepared on site.

Frozen offerings extend the range further, with scoops of fruit, vegetables, fish, and vegan alternatives available loose to avoid pre-packaged portions. Homemade ready meals, pastries, and desserts provide convenient options, all crafted in-house using ingredients that align with the shop’s sustainable ethos.

Interactive elements enhance the shopping process, including a peanut butter machine that grinds fresh nuts to order. This hands-on approach encourages engagement with the products and reinforces the benefits of buying only what is needed.

The Refill and Deli rates highly with many reviews, praised for its contribution to reducing plastic waste while delivering diverse, locally sourced food and household items.
