AIBU to ask - high end delis and bijou cafes - best place to live?

[Corsa1995]

Ok money is no object - me and my partner both work from home so (UK) location is no object. What we both absolutely love are high end delis, bijou cafes. twee cake shops, I'm sure you get the picture !

Where in the UK is best for this Mumsnet ?

When did you last go to Harrogate?

It doesnt have high end delis (it has fodder which is an ok farm type shop and similarly the pannal garden centre but they are both out of town, cheeseboard,) or bijou cafes (the starling but much more pub since the expansion) It has 2 twee cake shops- Betty's (ok for 1 visit ) and Doreens (screechy hen dos)

Bath, Stroud, marlow

If money no object places like Richmond, Teddington, Hampstead

If money is no object then west London surely? Somewhere like Chelsea. If not St Albans or Wheat Hempstead or Epping at a push.

The person who said Northcote Road is spot on
Cant think of anywhere in Chelsea that has more that Northcote Road

Glasgow G12 - look up "West End Mums" (can't link direct to the video for some reason).

Chester. Especially with the new market and plans for redevelopment of the old Debenhams.

Easy access to Manchester, Liverpool and various other cities

Northallerton, Richmond, Yarm.
Windermere, Keswick.
Henley, Marlow.
Knutsford, Didsbury.
Stamford.

Anywhere with a branch of Bamford or Neptune?

Copmanthorpe in York

The Clifton area of Bristol.
Gorgeous Georgian house, independent shops and cafes, history, the Suspension Bridge!
My daughter and partner live there in an eyewateringly expensive flat!!

I only spent 2 days there, but Bewdley, Worcestershire seemed to fit the hill.

Westbourne Grove. How money really really needs to be no object.

I find those places quite hard work for a few days visit; too many yummy mummys and pretentious little shops selling hugely expensive tat. They are geared to please tourists, not local residents. I certainly couldn't live in one.

Chagford, Dartmouth or Topsham in Devon are all perfect for what you want.

Teddington, Barnes, St Margaret's.

Who said Copmanthorpe it only has one cafe there are no delis bishopthorpe road area on the other hand 🙂

Birkenhead

Yes - the Greggs in Rhyl is second to none!

Morningside or Stockbridge in Edinburgh.

Malton is lovely especially the food court with the coffee roaster and macaron shop

🤣

Shrewsbury

Edinburgh, in particular Stockbridge. End of discussion.

Ludlow has the highest number of Michelin starred restaurants outside of london.
Cumbria is the county with the highest number of Michelin stars. Loads of high end coffee spots as well, but despite a few notable delicatessens, the amazing farm shops are really where it is at for food shopping (and Booths!).
