Ukrainian bakery, deli and takeaway is open in Lancaster

Gastronom Lancaster is at 9, West Road, Lancaster and has been opened by Ukrainian couple Dmytro Zushchuk and his wife Oxana.

Dmytro and Oxana have a son and a daughter, Richard (12) and Phoebe Rose, six.

Gastronom Lancaster has recently been awarded a 5 in Lancaster City Council’s food hygiene ratings.

Dmytro said: “We are the only Eastern European deli in Lancaster now. We are in what was a fish and chip shop before we turned it into a delicatessen.

"My wife Oxana is the baker. We have an alcohol license and sell special alcohol from the Ukraine and Bulgaria.

"We sell meats and cheese, bread baked by my wife, salted herring, pickled cabbage, dairy products, sausage, canned foods, frozen products, and handmade Ukrainian food as well as much more.

"We have Facebook and Instagram pages where you can see all our products.

"We chose the name Gastronom because we used to call a deli shop Gastronom.

"We have a smoker and are looking to do smoked meat and fish. We are building the bakery at the minute.

"We would welcome people stopping by to say hello and see what we have to offer. "
