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
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.
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.'
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.'
Ham, egg and chips focaccia sandwich
Featured as one of London's top 50 sandwiches.

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.
