Bread, meat and cheese share one counter, and one slicer handles all the meats, so traces of allergens are possible. Mention a severe allergy before we make anything.
Cured by family producers, sliced in front of you
The meats come from a handful of family curers and the cheeses from farms we have visited. Nothing is sliced ahead, because cured meat dries out within hours of cutting, so every order goes through the slicer while you watch.
Our own kitchen makes the salads, lasagne and soup each morning and labels them with the day they were made and every allergen in the recipe. Prepared dishes are kept chilled and dated, and nothing made today is sold after tomorrow.
- Sliced to order, never in advance
- Every dish dated and labelled
- Allergen rules vary by country; our labels list them all

From enquiry to empty board
Four steps, most of them handled by us.
Tell us the day
Use the form below for the date, how many are eating and any allergies or diets.
Agree the menu
Within one working day you have a menu, the allergens on it and a price to approve.
Made that morning
Platters are made on the day and labelled item by item before they leave.
Collect or take delivery
Pick it up at the counter or take delivery nearby; boards and trays are fetched back the next day.
Behind the counter
The hatch at breakfast, a board on its way out, and the shelves in between.
Overheard at the hatch (example reviews)
The ham was sliced so thin it curled, and the label listed exactly what was in it. Lunch at the hatch takes five minutes even at the busiest time.
Ordered the antipasti board for a meeting of twelve, with one guest who avoids gluten. Their portion came on its own plate with its own label.
The lasagne for two has become a Friday habit. Dated, labelled, and better than anything cooked in our kitchen.
Asked at the deli counter
How do you handle allergies?
Every label and the sandwich board list the allergens in the recipe in plain words. Meat, cheese and bread share a counter, so traces are possible, and we say honestly when something cannot be kept apart. With a severe allergy, speak to us before we make anything.
Is cured meat safe during pregnancy?
That depends on the guidance where you live, which differs between countries. A midwife, doctor or other health professional can tell you which cured meats and cheeses suit you, and the hatch can make sandwiches with cooked fillings instead.
How long do sliced meats keep?
Sliced cured meat is best eaten within three days, wrapped and chilled. Prepared dishes carry a use by date on their labels.
Is there food for vegetarians and vegans?
Every day there is at least one vegetarian and one vegan sandwich, and the salads are labelled. Vegan food is made on the same counter, so read the allergen note.
How much notice do platters need?
A day for sandwich platters and antipasti boards, and five days for a grazing table. December fills up early, so ask well ahead.
Can hampers be posted?
Within the country, yes. Rules on sending meat and dairy across borders vary by country and are often strict, so we only post abroad after checking the rules for that address.
Order a platter or a large order
Send the day, the number of guests and any allergies or diets, and a menu with its price comes back within one working day. Platters are made on the morning they are eaten.
- Menu and allergens agreed first
- Collected or brought to nearby offices
- Payment settled directly with the deli
