Deli Lites Ireland Ltd started as a small family run sandwich bar in Newry, Co. Down over 20 years ago and has grown into a major presence in café and convenience food sectors throughout Ireland.

Based in Warrenpoint, Deli Lites supply a range of bespoke, branded "food-to-go" products into retail, café and convenience outlets across N.I. and the Republic of Ireland.

We deliver throughout Ireland seven days a week. With 70% of our business now in export we have major plans to expand our business by increasing our UK distribution.

Our core business is in pre-packed sandwiches, wraps and flatbreads, bespoke bowls, juices, salad bowls, home-made artisan breads and pastries . Our onsite bakery uniquely positions us to offer quirky, award-winning sweet products.

In January 2019, we launched our new innovation hub which will be used for product development workshops and demonstrations with clients. This latest investment highlights our commitment to continued growth and development and our emphasis on client-focused servicing , which we believe has helped us grown and become a trusted supplier to our customers.

Pre–Pack and catering sandwiches for retail and foodservice outlets across the island of Ireland.
Deli solutions including salads, deli–fills and sliced cooked meats.
Frozen “Heat and Eat” products including paninis, burritos, croque monsieurs and ciabattas.
Home–made baked goods, via our onsite bakery.

We develop lasting partnerships with our clients to help drive their business forward, and are currently stocked in convenience stores, multiple major retailers, universities, popular European coffee chains and supply also to the travel sector. We offer our clients a full brand solution working with our design department to provide bespoke packaging and labelling where required. We regularly trial new product lines in our successful retail shops to garner customer feedback before launch.
