Signal score

Strong, consistent praise across multiple sources.

A raucous, late-night dinner party disguised as a sandwich shop where the host is loud, the music is louder, and the food is gloriously messy.

Ordering Strategy

It is strictly walk-in. Order the mac 'n' cheese balls to start, then commit to the Ham, Egg 'N' Chips. Do not ask for cutlery.

What to order

Safe first

Ham, Egg ‘N’ Chips

An immediate front-runner for the title of 'London's Best Sandwich,' this 'crunchy, moreish, crumb-dribbling delight' features slow-cooked ham hock, a fried egg, shoestring fries, and acidic piccalilli.

Hungry

The Original Gangster

A 'beef onslaught' that uses sinewy, tender shreds of beef shin and brisket. Critics describe the combination of kraut, gravy, and cassava chips as tasting like 'a hallucinogen-aided morning in Jerusalem's old market.'

Wildcard

This Is How We Spring Roll

An 'exceptionally delicious' vegetarian sandwich described as 'the sandwich filling equivalent of an Avengers team-up movie,' combining the crunch of spring roll pastry with 'MSG-heightened moreishness.'

Wildcard

Ham, egg and chips focaccia sandwich

Featured as one of London's top 50 sandwiches.

What to skip

Skip
Chocolate brownie sandwichReviewers found the addition of pomegranate molasses to this giant dessert made it 'too sickly sweet' to enjoy the rest of the plate.

Good to know

The owner, Max, is often present and channels 'Basil Fawlty on Gourmet Night' energy. It is messy finger food, so not for a first date if you're self-conscious.
