Great food and service. Food was very nice and they even refunded me for a mistake that was my fault.

Genuinely can’t believe how good the sandwiches are here! The best thing I’ve ate in a while and it was a ruddy sandwich! The service was bloody friendly n’ all, like as if my mate had asked “d’ya want anything?” I love that because it makes ya feel at home. The service was very professional incase the owner is thinking “what? Why are you so unprofessional?!” I’ve been here so many times and it’s a standout. More people should come. A hidden gem in Homerton. The locals know. Keep on doing what you’re doing, I’ve never been disappointed. Also, love watching the OJ being pressed. It’s a fun experience. Thank you all so much!
