The Real Food Shop of Otley is one of those delicious down to earth deli style shops, packed with…read morereal good food. Firstly, there's the sandwiches. They're all home made with some mouth watering varieties on offer, including their freshly cooked meat sandwiches. The freshly cooked meats are also on sale, you can purchase ham, beef, pork, turkey chicken and more. If you're more of a panini or baguette kind of person then have no fear, they do those too. There are also a range of cheeses, drinks - hot and cold - and other deli items on offer here. Everything has that lovely country deli vibe to it and you certainly won't be disappointed. Try a sandwich, find a bench in Otley, and enjoy!

So with half an hour to kill before a hair appointment, I popped in to Truly Scrummy for a brew and…read morea bite. Boasting locally sourced food and home baked cakes, scones & tray bakes, it was a fair bet that I was going to like the place, and I wasn't disappointed. I was greeted warmly when I came in, I ordered tea and a toasted teacake and was invited to take a seat. There are 8 tables with 3-4 seats at each, so a decent amount of space. It's completely open plan so you can see the food prep & cooking area, I watched the two chefs chopping veg and putting in a big pot on the stove, and preparing the pastry cases for some kind of quiche or flan, and the smells were just delicious! My tea arrived in a teapot with a separate pot of milk, which always makes me happy as I'm dead fussy about my brew. My teacake was large and generously buttered which, again, pushed my happiness buttons. As I supped I eyed the scrummy looking cakes and tray bakes under the glass domes, slightly gutted that I didn't have time to indulge today. Perusing the menu it looks full of delights, from breakfast staples with a local emphasis (like the griddled dry cured yorkshire bacon sandwich, or the local pork sausage sandwich) to paninis, jacket potatoes, wraps, soups and much more. The loss of one star comes purely from a pricing front. £4.20 for a bacon sandwich or £6.80 for a panini is just a touch over the limits for me. Perhaps that's a little unfair as you can clearly see (literally!) the care and attention that goes into preparing the food. Who knows, perhaps when I come back and eat more, and I definitely will be back, I might eat them and decide the quality justifies it, but until then, four stars it is.
