The team behind Gastro Nicks

Nick and Jane sitting in Gastro Nicks.

Nick and Jane are the husband and wife team behind Gastro Nicks. Nick is a 3rd generation fish merchant who started Gastro Nicks in 2005. Jane was originally brought up on a farm in Shropshire and then left London to join Nick in the business in 2010, both making the move to Wiltshire.

‘Our aim is to provide our customers with products sourced directly from small independent producers, who have a passion for what they make and what they put into it.  In this way we can provide a wide range of artisan foods and a guarantee of their provenance.  By walking into the deli, you enter an ‘Aladdin’s cave’ of delicious delights.

We do hope you will call in and take a look – in person, or online.

Why buy from us?

  • We personally source all that we buy – a diverse range products, including cheeses, cured meats, boutique wines and great present ideas, probably not found in a larger store.  We often only purchase small amounts, making the products more unique, but with the convenience of a local shop or home delivery.

  • We stock an impressive range of generally hand-made products, giving you the chance to discover one-of-a-kind items whilst supporting the endeavours of artisan producers.  It gives us enormous pleasure to give independent, specialist brands a leg up and the opportunity to be seen and bought by more customers.

  • We pride ourselves on old fashioned customer-service, getting to know our customers and taking time to answer any queries.  Nick will probably add a bit of banter and you can ask Jane to help with a choice of wine.

    It is all about quality and ‘it’s all about the taste’.  We actively encourage sampling where we can.

  • We know that times are tough for many people.  Contrary to what you may think, with rarely any middle-man involved, we are able to price products accordingly.  Where we are more expensive, it’s because we prioritise quality and don’t have the volumes or discounts that go with quantity.

  • With ample free parking right outside and a location just off the main road that runs through Collingbourne Ducis, shopping in person with us is quick and convenient, but don’t be surprised if you come in for one item and leave with a basket full!

    If you don’t live nearby, most of the products are available online for delivery nationwide.
