About Us

WELCOME TO THE DELI 

We’ve been a family-run, independent deli since 2009, growing over time into the café and bakery you see today.

Our original café and complete pantry are on Ingatestone High Street — a cosier, artisan space where it all began.

At Hylands, we’ve created a larger café and social space where good food and good company come together — a place for catchups, community and creative events.

WHAT YOU’LL FIND HERE…

Speciality coffee, seasonal pastries and small-batch bakes 

Hand-prepared lunches and brunches, — eat in, outside or to take-away

A curated pantry of local and independent makers

Thoughtful gifts — ready to give (or keep!)

Dog-friendly courtyard (because they’re family too)

A FEW GOOD THINGS TO KNOW…

We use locally sourced ingredients wherever possible, supporting local and independent producers

Many items are made in limited quantities, so when it’s gone, it’s gone!

Celebration bakes and special-occasion orders are always welcome — just ask or get in touch

We love bringing people together — big or small, casual or celebratory, from your home to the office or any event — ask our team or enquire by email, about our Everyday Catering Menu and see how deliciously simple hosting can be

Here’s to gathering around good food and good company.
