Henshelwoods Delicatessen, of York, is officially the Best Deli in Yorkshire and Humberside.
The Newgate business won the title in the best deli category of The Observer Food Monthly Awards 2005.
This is the third award to be presented to Henshelwoods, after recently scooping the Good Egg Award and being singled out as Best Independent Food Retailer in the shopping category of The Observer Food Monthly Awards 2004.
Judges were impressed by its ability to provide superior homemade products without the use of artificial colours, flavourings or preservatives.
Owner Lynn Henshelwood's signature dish is her Whitby crab pt, for which there are orders from all over the UK.
Top chef and television star, Rick Stein, who has launched a book the Guide to the Food Heroes of Britain has cited Lynn Henshelwood as one of the "finest producers of homemade produce".
