LocationThe Scottish Deli is located within the picturesque village of Dunkeld, approximately 12 miles north of Perth. Named as the best place to live in Scotland 2023 by the Sunday Times’ annual Best Places to Live guide, Dunkeld sits on the banks of the River Tay and has traditionally been an important crossing and
trading point on the road linking the south to the Highlands.

The population of the village swells during the summer months with visitors being attracted by the beautiful Perthshire countryside. Sporting pursuits such as fishing and shooting, a growing adventure tourism market and more traditional local attractions such as castles and distilleries help to explain the area’s enduring popularity. In recent years the Scottish Deli has played its role in the development of Dunkeld as
a foodie destination, celebrating the variety of fine produce available locally.

BusinessThe deli benefits from the booming Dunkeld tourist trade during the busy summer months and a loyal local customer base over the winter. Trade is derived from a retail offer of speciality food, wine, beer and Scottish spirits; a busy daytime takeaway offering homemade sandwiches, baked goods and artisan coffee along with a fully licensed sit in restaurant operating as a café during the day and an increasingly busy Scottish tapas restaurant in the evenings. The café/restaurant can accommodate 20 covers during the day, increasing to 38 covers in the evening.

The deli is fully fitted with good quality fixtures and fittings and the business benefits from a modern epos ordering and till system which maximises efficiency for customer orders for both takeaway and sit in.

Trading hours vary during the year:
Summer: 9.00am - 11.00pm 7 days.
Autumn/winter/spring: Open 7 days during the day, evening restaurant hours/days vary depending upon season.
