About Delilah

Delilah is The Midland's Traditional Delicatessen; we are a (fiercely) independent fine food and wine merchant, housed in a beautiful former banking hall in the heart of the city. A stone’s throw from the market square and flanked by fashionable Bridlesmith Gate in Nottingham. Surrounded by the best restaurants, pubs and clubs in the City.

Our delicatessen is combined with a Food Bar & relaxed café-style seating for up to 70 people, giving us the opportunity not only to taste, buy and sell 1000’s of fine foodstuffs, but also to demonstrate how these products can be used to create great dishes, which we serve up in our signature tapas-style menus.

Whether a quick coffee and cake, some nibbles with a glass of wine from our vast selection, a gourmet sandwich, a luxurious afternoon spent grazing, or a shopping basket full of treats, it really is all about the ingredients, and the people who make them.

Our Team

Sangita – Proprietor

To say my background definitely lacks deli-ness, being Indian but born and brought up in the depths of Wales, is probably an understatement but none the less it is true. I didn’t discover my food addiction until well into my 20’s and it is definitely a habit I’m not likely to kick: it is what I live, sleep and breathe. Delilah is my first baby (my boys, Rhys and Owein came afterwards!), and it is probably the most all-consuming. It is definitely part of my sole and is the best way I can express my passion for all things precious – quality, service and enjoyment

Rick – Financial Guru & Wine Buyer (oh yeah and husband)

Rick is our director of commercial sense, he keeps our feet on the ground and points us in the right direction when our mad passion-driven ideas get a bit too driven, and generally ‘keeps it real’! His speciality is keeping our meetings on track when we fly off at foodie-tangents. Equally importantly, and much more fun, he is also our wine buyer, with 20 years’ experience of the wine industry, using his knowledge to put together a range that not only excites but educates the drinker. His forte is discovering small growers and producers working with rare and rediscovered varietals to produce quirky, delicious and original wines that represent great value!
