Wildfire Delicatessen& Cafe

Wildfire Delicatessen and Cafe is a husband-and-wife venture from Alex and Lorna McGilp, trading at 54 Kempock Street in Gourock since 2022. It works as a traditional Scottish deli first, stocking artisan foods, cooking essentials and store-cupboard staples, with a cafe side turning out freshly made sandwiches, breads, cakes and coffee. Part of the shop's remit is stocking other small local producers, among them Tonino's and Moonbow Bakery, and it leans toward sustainable and refill-style products where it can. The single Kempock Street site keeps it firmly independent rather than a branch operation. It opens Monday to Saturday from the morning and later on Sundays, drawing a mix of regulars picking up provisions and passers-by stopping for lunch. For anyone assembling a picnic before a Clyde crossing, it is a practical stop on Gourock's main run of shops.
