Beatties Deli

Cat Dawson runs Beatties Deli on Towngate in Holmfirth, a counter of English and continental cheeses and cold meats alongside sandwiches, paninis and traybakes made on site each morning. Shelves carry Tracklements chutneys, Botham's of Whitby biscuits and Powell's coffee beans, the kind of stock chosen from smaller producers rather than wholesale catalogues. Hampers are built to order for gifts and events, and the kitchen accommodates vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free requests without a separate menu. The deli also hosts the long-running Holmfirth webcam, a fixed camera on the till counter streaming the town's main street to a small but loyal online following, a quirk that predates most of the shop's current stock choices. Lunch trade peaks around midday as walkers come off the moors above town. Dawson serves behind the counter most days rather than working from the back kitchen.
