About us
Mac’s Deli is a family-run, independent sandwich shop and coffee counter, serving sandwiches on shokupan we bake fresh in-house every day.
We’re all about quality ingredients and doing the simple things properly: hot and cold sandwiches, sides, sweet treats and good coffee, to eat in, take away or order ahead with click & collect.
You’ll find us in Theale, with outdoor seating and free parking, and at Blue Collar Corner on Hosier Street in Reading.
These sandwiches will rock your world!
Our ingredients
Our menu is built around quality ingredients, helping us keep everything fresh and maintain a consistently high standard across everything we make.
Meat: Our meat is sourced through Aubrey Allen Butchery in Leamington Spa.
Cheese & Dairy: Our cheese and dairy are also supplied by Aubrey Allen Butchery.
Eggs: We use free-range eggs from Beechwood Farm, a family-run producer in Berkshire.
Flour: We use Wildfarmed flour, produced with a focus on regenerative farming, soil health and better-quality grain.
Our bread
The bread matters just as much as what goes inside it.
We make our shokupan fresh in-house every day, using the tangzhong method to give it that ridiculously soft, fluffy texture.
Our signature 36-hour process crafts the perfect shokupan: a 24-hour slow dough ferment followed by a 12-hour overnight proof yields an incredibly soft, rich, and fragrant loaf.
