A historic, Grade II-listed green hut serving massive, no-nonsense breakfast rolls through a takeaway hatch at unbeatable prices.
Ordering Strategy
Strictly takeaway for the general public (only licensed cabbies can sit inside). Order at the window, bring cash, and grab a bench in Russell Square.
What to order
Bacon Sandwich
Cited by Eater London as one of the city's best; a classic, no-nonsense arrangement of bacon on white bread that hits the spot.
Egg and Sausage Roll
Described as a 'massive' bap 'bigger than a hand' that features Smithfield market sausages and oozing egg yolk. It's the 'obvious choice' for anyone in need of a filling, glorious breakfast.
Chicken Escalope Wrap
At £4.90, this is the most expensive and sophisticated item on the menu, standing out among the traditional hot and cold sarnies.
Sweet Potato Pakora Wrap
A surprising vegetarian spiced treat available at this traditional meat-heavy establishment.
BLT
Featured as one of London's top 50 sandwiches.
