Beer. Cider. Cheese. Repeat. 🍺🧀

We're firing up the flat plate all weekend at the CAMRA Hitchin Beer & Cider Festival, serving three seriously indulgent artisan cheese toasties:

🧀 The British Raclette
🥪 The Salt Beef Reuben
🇫🇷 The Croque Monsieur

Made with British cheeses, proper sourdough, and ingredients worth talking about.

If you're heading to Hitchin Rugby Club this weekend, make sure you find us between pints.

Come thirsty. Leave cheesy.

Well… this was unexpected.

We’re absolutely thrilled to have made the finals of the Muddy Stilettos Awards 2026 in the Best Farm Shop / Deli category for Hertfordshire & Bedfordshire. 🏆

To even be shortlisted alongside some fantastic local businesses is a huge honour — especially for our little deli.

Whether you’ve joined us for cheese, toasties, wine & a bite, private dining, or simply cheered us on from the sidelines, thank you. Your support genuinely means the world to us.

If you’d like to help us bring it home, we’d be hugely grateful for your vote.

You may have heard whispers…
And yes, it’s true — Reubens have officially landed in Hitchin.

Hand-sliced salt beef.
Caraway sourdough.
Fresh dill pickles.
Sauerkraut.
English mustard aioli.
Cumin seed Gouda.

Messy in all the right ways.

Honestly? Ian’s been waiting far too long to make these.

And if, like Jenny, you’re still not entirely convinced by all the fuss… there’s only one way to find out.

🥪 Available now for dine-in or takeaway.

Two years ago today… we got the keys to the cheese 🧀🔑
and thought, “yeah, this’ll be fun” 😅

What a ride it’s been — a lot of cheese, a lot of wine, a lot of conversations… quite often all at the same time. And a lot of learning along the way.

We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who’s popped in, supported us, and kept us busy ❤️

Here’s to the next chapter 🧀
