When lockdown forced cafes and restaurants to close, Tony decided to start doing fresh food orders for customers. He said: "Obviously we had to shut, so I thought should we shut everything or turn what we have into something else.

"We are still getting a supply of meat, like bacon and sausages, and all the veg and my baker is still baking.

"It was really how can we turn that in to something that helps people."

Kafe Bloc's transformation into a deli was so successful that Tony decided to open Deli Bloc to keep it going post-lockdown.

Tony said: "We'll be going in with the best of what we have been doing and having a nice deli with fresh local bread, milk, all the meat, fresh veg, like what we are doing now but done properly."

Some of Kafe Bloc's most popular offerings have been top-hat doughnuts and an afternoon tea selection which Tony said have "gone crazy" as people look to treat themselves at home.

The set comes with four different sandwiches, salad, scones with homemade jam and clotted cream, strawberries and a selection of sweet treats.

The deli will open this Saturday and Kettering Mayor Kelli Watts will be attending.
