The Dusty Knuckle

Ended up being a 8 mile round trip on my bike but it was Sooo worth it i had worked worked up an appetite, and couldn't resist getting a little pastry(orange and poppy) while I was there, also got a baguette and tin loaf and wasn't disappointed, I put last nights roast chicken in it for lunch. Highly recommended @Tourdesarnie Instagram

Best bakery in London. Definitely top tier! We came down on a Saturday midday and it was busy! But the queue and your food comes out very quickly! You just queue up, place your order and wait for your name to get called. We had the mackerel and nduja sarnie - which was so delicious, but the best thing we had was the Honey, Feta and Fennel pastry - all the flavours worked so well together and the texture of the pastry was PERFECT. Not too crispy and not too doughy. I want to come back for their Pizza nights!!

Where does one start with this divine bakery? How does one do justice to the sheer artistry and culinary prowess of these passionate and well informed bakers? My review won’t impart much compared with the experience of eating here. The SARNIE is the best sandwich I have eaten and probably shall ever eat. I am still dreaming of the soft fresh warm olive oil focaccia bread. The Harris’s beetroot, shallots, almond, salsa verde dressing filling was gloriously tasty! I am not being melodramatic. The whole experience honestly felt like a formative one. The feta honey and fennel seed pastry is a must try too! The flavours complement each other so well. The chocolate salted cookie was delightful too, not saccharine like cookies often are. What geniuses are at play here. Please continue gracing the world.

Loved the sandwich! Had the soy tofu fritter sandwich. Each mouthful was different. Definitely the kind of sandwich to sit and eat. Dog friendly. And sat outside which was covered so it didn’t matter that it was raining. Still busy on a Friday at midday but service was very quick. I also got a Fruit Custard pastry which looked the part but I sadly didn’t rate. The custard was far too thin, and the fruit needed sieving. Plus more of it. A tart and bland mouthful. It was the only thing that let it down.
