Back in 2014 we were able to purchase this old Devon pub, just 15 minutes from the farm where we live together. We spent 5 years remodeling the building to become the Yellow Deli, finally opening at the end of May 2019.
What makes a Yellow Deli? Old wood, sun-bleached boards from weathered barns, reclaimed beams with all their scars, all kinds of handmade things - lights, tables, seats, stairs, railings, bar tops, macramé, paintings. Lots of wood everywhere. Everything has a story to tell, just like the people who work there. As a community of believers who run the restaurant, we have come from many different backgrounds but united now in our love for our Creator and our greatest desire is to express His love to the world. In the Deli we serve delicious wholesome food in a wonderful peaceful place where people matter. We want to have time for you. The Deli is a place to go to eat or read or talk, a place you arrive as a customer and leave as a friend.
We are easy to find, at the east end of the High Street in Honiton and our bright yellow sign.
We have had many visitors drop in for a few hours or arrange for extended visits. More than just simply looking for helpers in exchange for accommodations, our guests are alongside us and learning with us the deeper things of life. Usually, we arrange visits of 1 or 2 days, but, if you are really enjoying the rhythm of our life, an extended stay can be discussed. Contact the community directly you'd like to visit. We hope you will come spend some time with us!
The Twelve Tribes is a confederation of twelve worldwide self-governing tribes, made up of self-governing communities. We are disciples of the Son of God (whose name in Hebrew is Yahshua). We follow the pattern of the early church written in Acts 2:44 and 4:32, sharing all things in common. We believe everything that is written in the Old and New Covenants of the Bible.
