Wilfred Deli and Pantry in Richmondshire

A lovely mix of a small eatery and deli, well organised for covid, stand out snacks, excellent for vegetarians.

Having tried this Deli when we last stayed in Richmond, we felt compelled to go back to see if their very high standards had been maintained.Well praise be...they had, and some.It was difficult to pick a favourite, from the various savoury rolls, wonderful cheeses, salads and so on.But for me the Lemon Meringue Pie stoke the show and I have to say that we tried something every day we were in Richmond. I am a savoury kind of person, but the meringue pie had a wonderful balance of citrus and sweetness and the pastry was divine, with a crunchy finish.I understand that one of the owners mother makes the lemon curd for the pies.I hope I haven’t judged too soon, as I am just about to have a slice of their carrot cake, which I managed to grab on our final day, as on all previous days they had sold out.Lovely friendly people serving in the shop and the owner and his mother gave us the time of day. BRAVO!

Great find: light lunch of homemade soup, salmon en papillote with roasted squash. Delicious! Excellent bottle of rosé purchased too. Such a friendly, relaxed and personable welcome.

Lovely fresh produce small menu but very tasty. Friendly and informative staff. Clean and fresh environment.

Came across this quaint deli in the heart of Richmond. My husband and I had our two dogs with us so we sat outside enjoying a cup of tea, blankets were provided to keep us warm. We watched people passing by, giving our two dogs attention whilst enjoying our tea. We will definitely be making a trip back to the Deli in the near future as the food inside was very tempting.

On our way driving home from Edinburgh my daughter and I stopped half way for lunch in Richmond.. We found this place and had the most amazing Tomato and sweetcorn soup. The owner was so lovely and friendly as was the other guy working with him who gave us the recipe. I wish we lived closer and could visit more often. I would highlyrecommend going here to eat or see what delights they have in the deli.

Really enjoy getting my lunch from here and the staff are so friendly. The food is always healthy, fresh and inspiring

We were visiting Richmond for the morning when the sausage rolls shouted ‘try me!’ through the window.We tried, delicious alongside a salad of roast veg for me & rice for my husband.We washed down with hot chocolate - again very yummy without all the sprinkles, cream etc usually offered.Limited seating just one long table seats 7 or 8.So impressed we took some take-out. They made the most delicious sour dough ham sandwiches stuffed with Yorkshire ham and a Yorkshire curd tart & a coconut slice.All food was delicious - the deli is superb inside.The location is superb just off the market square along a narrow street with some lovely shops and a couple of galleries, Lucy Pittaway & Mackenzie Thorp.

Lovely atmosphere and very fresh food and cakes. Communal table for eating and chatting with other people. Staff very friendly.

What a beautifully set out eatery! A scrumptious selection of goodies to have whilst eating in and a tantalising display of produce to take away too. The staff were courteous and efficient and made the lunch visit an extra special treat . We’ll definitely be going back, when next in the area.

We went for a coffee and a piece of cake in the raining morning, the place is very cosy and the staff welcoming. Flat white coffees tasted really good. We tried the Traditional Yorkshire Curd Tart and a Ginger Cake, both excellent. Recommended place for a perfect coffee/cake warm-up stop.

Lovely deli and cafe, so good they often sell out just after lunch! Well worth a visit, small but very friendly with delicious fresh food. I had a freshly made ploughmans on delicious French bread. Will definitely be back 👍🏻👍🏻

Nice place, friendly staff. Good coffee, nice carrot cake. If you want to buy some nice local products there is a lot off choice.

lots of cakes out on view.sausage rolls and fresh bread in a tray on the table when you enter to eat. good prices. So well turned out staff. some of the cakes on display we have never seen before, a really good place to go and spoil yourself with ordering a treat for you or your group.

We have recently been on holiday to Richmond and came across this wonderful find...

Just excellent live the place, go every time we visit Richmond . Great savoury and sweet - sarnies to die for and heavenly carrot cake. Sell great wines too and the staff are totally lovely - beats anything in London or elsewhere - ling live Wilfred

This place is on Finklecstreet at the top end of Richmonds market centre heading towards MacKenzie Thorpes gallery.

Wandered past this coffee shop whilst on a day trip to Richmond with family. Excellent decaf coffee and quite pricey but very tasty cakes. Owner was very pleasant and welcoming, allowing us to stay past close whilst my partner breastfed our son, which was greatly appreciated. A good looking lunch menu which we didn't get the chance to try but certainly hope to return in future

An excellent cup of coffee, yummy sausage roll, enthusiastic staff. A real find. Deli selection looked good as did lunch selection.

Those.sausage.rolls. Fresh out the oven, amaze!!! Salad selection was highly original and tasty as was the quiche. Obs we had to try the cake - not too sweet and really rather good. Decor was cool too, but more up to date than the dying 80s presentation elsewhere in town had some good looking foody gift choices too.

We ran into Wilfred Deli by accident while walking around Richmond and stopped in for two coffees to go, The counter service was good and coffee fresh and hot.

While wandering around Richmond we found this super deli/coffee shop. We had coffee and some wonderful home baked cakes, and marvelled at all the other sweet and savoury delights on offer. Highly recommended.

Fantastic wee deli with a nice selection of delicious home made sandwiches, bread, cakes, snacks and other treats.Great selection of cheese (and great recommendation too! ) The mushroom frittata was fantastic and all washed down with some wine from London's Berry Bros & Rudd as a picnic sitting at the aude if the river. Worth stocking up here for picnics / hikes etc.

Stopped for a brew and a snack having been drawn in by the sausage rolls on display in the window. The ladies behind the counter were friendly and the sausage roll and Rhubarb & ginger cake were both excellent. Lots of nice deli treats to buy as well. Rather than go to the chains like Costa pop in here and support local shops - the food and drink are so much better.

Popped in at the end of lunch on a Monday - they were in the process of tidying up. Stock was low but they made me a delicious ham and cheese sandwich on the spot. It was very good - high quality bread, lovely ham and salad. Had coffee too, which was very good value . Looking around the deli - lovely range of cheeses and meats plus various bottles.

Popped in for a coffee and decided to sample the chocolate brownies while we were in. Service was great, we sat outside as we had our dog with us, a great place to watch the world go by. Would definitely return.

Popped in for a takeaway coffee after walking past and I was instantly interested. The food smelt amazing, decor was absolutely on point and the coffee was delicious.

Some of the best cheese I’ve ever bought. Small but excellent selection. Friendly staff and a good but select choice of deli items.

Definitely the most expensive sausage rolls I have bought the kids , but definitely worth it and the tastiest - especially when got out of the oven. Kept missing breakfast - only served until 11am and being too early for lunch - but at least the sausage rolls kept us going

My review of December 2016 said that the good food at Wilfred's was offset by a poor attitude towards customers: "sullen" and "graceless" were the words I used then. Fortunately, there seems to have been a staff change there in the last few months - and a good thing too! So I'm very happy to remove my original review, and add a star to the rating.

We were in the Richmond area last week doing some walking on a lovely sunny day and intended buying our picnic lunch from Wilfred Deli which had been recommended to us. It was easy to find on Finkle Street in Richmond. The interior is beautifully designed and everything is set out neatly with a clear and concise menu displayed daily. Helpful staff served us , the food is freshly prepared , lovely salads , casseroles ,soups ,frittata etc ,the choice changes daily. Good coffees.Quality food at reasonable prices.Highly recommend.

I often visit Richmond in North Yorkshire which I have to say doesn't offer much when it comes to takeaway food. However, Wilfred's in Finkle Street is an exception. They produce wonderful takeaway lunches and sandwiches and have an excellent range of cheeses and wines from Berry Bros. & Rudd. Highly recommended.

As a regular user of Richmonds eateries I thought I would try this new one .I felt uncomfortable from the offset entering , where to loo k as not evident on entering where the food is, watched by staff , looking at food that was on display and not in a cool refrigerator , or a hot counter, small portions for larger prices. Ordered a sandwich in sourdough , small in comparison to price paid . Do offer breakfast sandwiches etc and cheeses which were a little overpriced . I'm sure there is a market for this but as a busy individual wanting a quick bite , this was not for me , I wish them well but I doubt I will venture again

called in off spec to a warm greeting, went for the Cumberland sausage and bean casserole, very tasty and filling. A little dearer than a sandwich or a pie but very tasty. will certainly be going back.

I have visited Wilfred once or twice and have never been disappointed or left hungry.

I have popped into the Wilfred Deli & Pantry several times now to grab lunch on-the-go. It's most simply described as a takeaway, but the decor and presentation alone is better than any of the actual restaurants and other eateries in Richmond, so it's certainly a step above your average sandwich place. They have a brilliantly priced deal on a (delicious) bacon roll and a coffee, which I've purchased a couple of times now. Nothing too fancy, just well-prepared, well-presented food to go. Certainly worth trying if you're just looking for lunch. Lovely staff as well!

I decided to treat myself to lunch today, and although the deli only offers takeaway the food blew me away. A way higher standard than your average takeout. I started off with courgette, broccoli and cannellini bean soup in rocket pesto, and some delicious rustic bread. Even though I was full up at this point due to the generous serving of soup, I had bought the mushroom, parma ham and goats cheese frittata which was piping hot and contained some awesome flavours. I had this with a salad of beetroot, quinoa, rice, peas, lemons and seeds. Again the portion was massive and I could only eat half of it, saving the other half for my evening meal. Again the flavours were divine. I am so glad that this deli has opened up in Richmond as it offers something that I don't think is done anywhere else in Richmond. I don't believe the price of their food is expensive at all given the size of the portions. Can't wait for my next treat. Thank you ladies.

I treat myself to an especially delicious 'on the hoof' lunch from Wilfred Deli on average once every two weeks. Whatever they concoct is sublime & interesting. Therefore justifying a higher than average priced take away. Highly recommended!
