Digby’s

Digby’s licensed delicatessen is not really that well known for it’s…delicatessen choices. It does have, what I would call, a cold meat counter that sells ham, corned beef, breaded turkey etc but that’s about it.
It’s better known for its gargantuan drink selection, which specialises in Whisky. They’re rarely out of stock in the tipple department, and I have only been disappointed once when searching for an unusual Irish Whiskey at short notice.
It’s a nice wee olde worldy type shop, where the assistants and booze are safely barricaded behind a full sized wooden front with serving windows, obviously they know that the Motherwell clientèle can be a little over excited at the sight of such an array of bevvie. The assistants are usually wee older ladies who are lovely, or an older man who I would guess runs the place. They have to put up with a lot from what I have seen, teenagers usually target this place for some underage WKD purchasing, but they aren’t slow in telling them where to go. I wouldn’t mess!
They also sell wine, beers and juices, as well as a few groceries and tins of essentials.
They make some pretty amazing soup and sandwiches for a cheap price, and they sell the biggest chocolate fudge muffins I have ever seen. They are out of this world! It took me three days to eat one once, and I’m not shy when it comes to cake. Yum.
Great wee newsagents-​deli-​off licence right across from the bus stops and train station.
