Our Story

West coast Deli 5 Argyle St Ullapool, outdoor seating. family run delicatessen. Hamper, cheese box scotland uk

Where it all began

Food was always a big part of my childhood, devouring cheese and olives with Italian friends and visiting the iconic Italian delicatessen, Lina Stores in Soho, a cornucopia of delicacies.

Once old enough, I left London and spent a couple of years travelling through Europe and the Middle East. Enjoying and sampling food all along the way. In Israel, I met a couple from Ullapool and on my return, I was invited up for a Hogmanay party. Instantly I fell in love with the beauty of the Highlands and I knew that I wanted to make Ullapool my home.

After many years in the Village and once my children had created their own paths, I needed a new challenge. I naturally gravitated back to what I knew and loved – food! My aim was to recreate a family-run deli based on the ones I would visit in London.

It would be something different for Ullapool, something locals and tourists could enjoy and one that would capture memories of holidays, travel and alfresco living, whilst also showcasing the wonderful produce Scotland has to offer.

After months of travelling around Scotland researching the market, West Coast Delicatessen opened its doors in January 2013.
