Born from a love of great ingredients and even better produce, The Little Deli is a family-run independent delicatessen and wine bar in the heart of Hitchin.

Exceptional cheese & charcuterie, seriously good freshly made food to eat in or take away, carefully chosen wines, bespoke hampers made to order and plenty more besides.

Pop in.  Take something home.  Or pull up a chair, stay a while.

While our cheese counter is still a huge part of what we do at the Deli, packed with the exceptional cheeses and charcuterie we’ve always been known for, now our kitchen is at the heart — which means we get to do a whole lot more with all those wonderful ingredients – and share even more food happiness with you.

Everything we serve is cooked here, by us.  Quality ingredients, proper cooking and food we’re confident you’ll love. 

Come for lunch and see what’s cooking, sneak in for a cheeky glass of wine and a slice of something delicious, or curl up with a favourite paperback and a proper cup of tea. Pick up something indulgent to take home — or settle in with friends over a few seasonal plates and a bottle of wine.

And if you find yourself staying longer than planned, you won’t be the first.
