June at the deli











With a wealth of experience in fine food, Zac joins us as Assistant General Manager at the deli. A keen guitarist and all round music man, Zac also loves foraging, especially near his home city of Turin.
Yasemin is our new Head of Pastry, having previously worked in the same role at Ottolenghi. A born and bred Londoner, Yasemin is looking forward to bringing her own twist to our selection of freshly baked sweet treats. Her favourite cake is a classic red velvet.

After a small refurb, our café menu not only has a new look, but a new menu too. Featuring a fresh selection of breakfast and brunch dishes, some of our favourites include:
Free range sausage patty with a fried egg, mature cheddar and Bloody Mary ketchup
Butter beans & leak, on potato sourdough, salsa verde and hazelnuts
Free range fried chicken sandwich with hot sauce mayo, pickles and slaw
Discover our new menu here.
We have two new sandwich specials for you. One using the finest tuna available, individually line caught in the Cantabrian Sea, and the other a, vegan friendly medley of fresh spring flavours.
Ortiz white fin tuna with mayonnaise, parsley and red onion on potato sourdough
Roasted courgettes, smashed avocado, Calabrian chilli paste & rocket on focaccia (VE)


This month we welcome Elsewhere Coffee as our guest roaster.
With great sadness, we’re saying farewell to our Head of Pastry, Vita (centre-right).
Vita has been an instrumental part of the kitchen team over the seven years she’s been with us, developing recipes and producing some of our bestsellers (including the Basque cheesecake, tiramisu, and lemon & ricotta cake), as well as a long list of seasonal and one-off specials.
We’re hugely grateful for everything she’s brought to the deli, and we’ll miss her enormously. We wish her all the very best in her next chapter.

We're springing into spring with our latest sandwich specials. Fresher and lighter flavours, paired with new season Isle of Wight tomatoes and pillowy focaccia.
Prosciutto, buffalo mozzarella, basil and Isle of Wight tomatoes
Buffalo mozzarella, red pesto, tomato and rocket
The café will be closed next month from the 11th-14th May, as we undertake a small renovation in preparation for some exciting plans come late spring.
In the meantime, we're still going strong with our Thai inspired breakfast bun in collaboration with chef and food content creator Romany, aka Dudu Eats. Find out more here.

Seasonal Bakes
Blueberry & orange blossom marzipan cake with Swiss meringue
Banoffee pie with dulce de leche and whipped cream

Isle of Wight Tomatoes
British grown tomatoes from the Isle of Wight are officially back in season.
Grown using a mix of carefully selected heritage seed varieties, they’re chosen for flavour over uniformity, meaning tomatoes with real depth, sweetness, and character.

On The Shelves
Seasonal, small batch jams and cordials from Bramley Editions.
Authentic hand brewed milk tea from Chadong.
IPA celebrating LGBTQ+ history month from Queer Brewing.
Everyone's favourite hot honey from Dr Stings.

Supplier Spotlight: Daphnis & Chloe
Last month, one of our team members, Dylan, visited our supplier Daphnis & Chloe on his trip to Greece.
Based in Athens, they source rare, high-quality herbs and spices directly from small farmers, with a focus on terroir and sustainability.
Learn more about his visit here.

Dudu Eat's Cafe Special
We're excited to announce a new café dish in collaboration with chef and food content creator Romany, aka Dudu Eats.
Thai sausage, Dudu chilli oil, fried egg, cheddar and pickled shallots & cucumber
Romany's breakfast bun is loosely inspired by a classic Egg McMuffin, swapping in a pork sausage patty flavoured with red curry paste and fish sauce, then layered with a fried egg, melted cheddar cheese, pickles and a spoonful of her fragrant Thai chilli oil.
Jars of Dudu Thai Chilli Oil are also available to take home from the deli ;).
Discover our cafe menu here.

Easter at the Deli
Our deli centre table is filled top to bottom with Easter chocolate from our favourite British producers, including Pump Street and Charbonnel et Walker. Find yourself a little treat, or a gift for a loved-one.
As usual, we have hot cross buns from St John bakery. Pillowy, gently spiced and studded with candied fruit and citrus. Heavenly with a heavy spread of butter, or if you're feeling daring, a savoury-sweet upgrade of fried egg and bacon. Let us know if you give that one a go.
