Did you know

The shop has built a loyal following among Bankside office workers for its jerk chicken bap, a menu item that reflects the area's Caribbean culinary influence rather than a typical British sandwich shop offering.

Local tip

Arrive before the lunchtime rush around 12:30pm, the shop is small with limited seating and queues form quickly once local offices break for lunch.
