A Little Deli... with a lot going on

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

Exceptional cheese & charcuterie, seriously good freshly made food, carefully chosen wines and plenty more besides.

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

More than a Deli

Our cheese counter is still at the heart of the Deli, packed with the exceptional cheeses and charcuterie we’ve always been known for.  But now we have created a kitchen and dining space too — 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 an 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.

Your Place at the Table

There’s more than one way to join us…

Friday & Saturday evenings are all about relaxed dining — seasonal small plates, cheese & charcuterie and a glass (or two) of something good. Booking isn’t essential, but it’s definitely a good idea.

Take a seat at The Tasting Table for one of our special tasting evenings.

Or make the place your own with Deli After Dark — private dining and exclusive hire for up to 16 guests.

However you join us, good food and good company are always on the menu.
