Ilkley

Welcome to your Ilkley Store!

Booths Ilkley Store


Ilkley Store and Café

Sited on the former Victorian gasworks and built using much of the original stonework, the store is perfectly placed to take advantage of suppliers from across, what we like to call, Booths Country – Lancashire, Yorkshire, Cumbria and Cheshire.

From fresh British meat at our butcher counter, to gourmet cheese from the cheesemonger, fresh fruit and veg and a huge range of beer and wines, we’ve got a fantastic range of food and drink available at our Ilkley store.

Your store has a Booths Café, where you can enjoy good coffee, breakfasts, freshly made sandwiches, delicious cakes and much more. Find out more and view the menu here.


Choose Loose Produce Pilot

Ilkley Unwrapped

If you’ve visited your Ilkley store recently, you’ll have noticed we’ve drastically increased the selection of loose fruit and veg on offer, with fewer pre-packed items available. We’ve done this in your Ilkley store as a pilot, with the aim of playing our part in reducing household food waste and hard to recycle single use plastic.

You can use the paper bags provided, buy our reusable mesh bags or bring your own, and pick just what you need from a wide array of loose fresh produce. If you need just one carrot, you can buy it! We’ve designed this pilot with research and targets set by WRAP in mind, and our aim is to roll it out to more of our locations, making any adjustments as needed along the way.

Who is WRAP?

 WRAP is a global, non-governmental organisation focused on bringing people together to transform the systems that provide the products we consume to make them more environmentally friendly.

For over 20 years they have delivered programmes to benefit the environment, rooted in technical expertise, an impartial evidence base, and bringing influential people together.

Food, textiles and manufactured products account for nearly 50% of global greenhouse gas emissions. By examining sustainability challenges through the lens of people’s day-to-day lives, they design transformative solutions, calling this approach ‘Circular Living’.

Why are some products still in packaging? 

The key reason is to maintain freshness and quality for highly perishable produce, which means less waste overall. Some fruit and veg would have significantly poorer life and quality if unpackaged.

WRAP’s guidelines recognise that some produce lines may need their packaging because it has proven to significantly extend shelf life and reduce waste overall. These include:

  • Berries and soft fruits.
  • Herbs.
  • Small fresh produce items, such as peas.
  • Products that require some degree of processing for pest control, for example, corn from certain countries.
  • ‘Ripe and Ready’ SKUs, as these are more prone to damage.
  • Items sold during seasonal shoulders (just before and just after their peak season) where products could be more easily damaged.
