Don't feel bad blowing your weekly grocery budget at the pub.

Grab yourself a pint and your groceries to go. The Henson corner pub has been a favourite of Marrickville residents since it reopened its doors a few years back — and with the recent launch of a deli and bottle shop onsite, this solid local has just made itself one highly indispensable member of the neighbourhood.

The shelves of the fittingly-named Grocery and Grog are laden with gourmet foodstuffs, including fresh fruit and veggies, housemade pickles, milk, eggs, dips and preserves. Their handpicked selection of cured meats includes smoked wagyu beef, duck prosciutto and a fennel and garlic salami, while they also offer a similarly extensive array of hard and soft cheeses.

If you feel like eating in, you can order cheese and meat boards at the bar, or you can opt for one of their handmade panino sandwiches. They're also hosting daily tasting sessions, the crafty devils. That's how they hook you. Oh, and did we forget to say they sell Pana chocolates too? Because that seems like something we should mention.

The bottle shop is well-stocked with organic and minimal intervention wines, alongside a range of beers from local breweries. The more adventurous among you may also want to peruse their selection of bespoke spirits, ports and sherries. How fancy.

Grocery and Grog is located at The Henson, 91 Illawarra Road, Marrickville. For more information visit their website.
