Delilah Fine Foods is no ordinary deli. Housed in a stunning former bank in the heart of Nottingham, this independent food haven, run by Sangita Tryner, spreads across more than 3,000 square feet and features elegant plasterwork, high ceilings and a mezzanine that overlooks the bustling shop floor below. With 68 seats, it’s a place to relax, eat and soak up the atmosphere.
Delilah has long been a trailblazer on the local food scene, and in 2025 it added to its already impressive trophy cabinet by winning Best Retailer in the Midlands, Best Delicatessen in the UK and Retailer of the Year UK at the Farm Shop & Deli Awards – 20 years after first winning the top accolade in 2005. These honours mark a fitting celebration of its 20th birthday and confirm Delilah’s status as one of Britain’s best independent food retailers.
In the deli, you’ll find over 150 cheeses, a huge range of charcuterie, sauces, oils and world-class foodstuffs. On the café menu: breakfasts, platters, sandwiches, wine, beer and outstanding coffee.
We remember visiting Delilah in its much smaller early Nottingham home back in 2010. Their bold move to this cavernous new space was a brave one – and it’s paid off in style. Sangita sums it up best: “Temptation is what Delilah is all about.”
