North Yorkshire farm shop and deli among UK’s best for 2026

Cedarbarn Farm Shop and Cafe, set on the edge of the North Yorkshire Moors in Pickering, has been praised by Olive magazine for being a “treasure trove of Yorkshire deli finds”.

It’s also been described as a “go-to spot for foodies” thanks to its array of stock, including artisan treats, its own farm produce, Shepherd’s Purse cheeses, and Whitby Seafish smoked fish, to name a few.

The foodie publisher explained about its latest guide: “Delicatessens are fast becoming go-to destinations for food lovers seeking quality produce, regional specialities or simply a good cup of coffee and a pastry.

“Whether you’re stocking up on pantry essentials, hunting for a prime foodie gift or intrigued by those little luxuries that make cooking more exciting, these independent gems across the UK deliver on flavour, provenance and a sense of community, from historic establishments to neatly curated farm shops and bucolic village nooks.”
