Skipton Deli – A Slice of Sicily with a Yorkshire Twist

13th June 2025

If you’re staying at Thisledo Holiday Cottage and fancy summat a bit fancier than a pork pie and a packet of crisps (nowt wrong with that, mind), make your way to Skipton Deli, just near Belmont Bridge.

Open Tuesday to Saturday from 10am to 4pm, this cracking little spot is a proper treat. It’s locally renowned – and with good reason. The deli combines the best of Yorkshire produce with a hearty helping of Sicilian flair. You’ll find everything from gourmet pantry staples to authentic Italian delicacies that’ll make you feel like you’ve popped over to Palermo rather than popped down to town.

Now, let’s talk about the focaccia sandwiches. These beauties are made fresh and packed with locally sourced ingredients – light, fluffy, and full of flavour. It’s the kind of sandwich that makes you pause mid-bite just to say, “Ey up, that’s a good’un.”

Whether you’re after supplies for a picnic by the canal or something fancy to nibble on back at the cottage, Skipton Deli is well worth a visit. Friendly staff, proper tasty food, and a unique mix of Yorkshire heart and Sicilian soul – what more could you want?

So go on, treat yourself. After all, you’re on holiday – and calories don’t count in Skipton.
