Our Story

Where It All Began

We are a kitchen, a team & a set of beliefs & values about food. We believe the best food is simple, made with great ingredients & a decent dollop of love and a lot of respect. We start making our sandwiches at 5am every day with artisan bread fresh from the bakery, sourdoughs, granary, wraps, filling them with love & respect with our delicious fillings, and wrapping & labelling them, ready for delivery to stores around Dublin City. We want our food to make you feel full, content & happy.

It’s what we do.

Simple. Real. Food

Our Story

The Fifth Child…

Our fifth child – The Delicious Food Company was born in 2005 to bridge a gap in the market for really good quality sandwiches.

All our sandwiches are made on preservative-free bread from The Bretzel Bakery, meaning the tastiest artisan sandwiches in Ireland. Our salads are award-winning.

Simplicity & freshness is core to what we produce.
Everything we produce is made with great ingredients and with lots of care & love packed with humour and delivered with a SMILE always.

We believe that our customers should have the choice to eat good and fresh, albeit the humble sandwich or a great salad – rather than mass-produced items with shelf life more important than taste.

Our customers, our suppliers & our staff are all one team, sharing common values and love of food.
