New Sandwich Shop and Bar

TescoPigeon · October 2014

Hey there I thought I'd share a bit of intel with you guys: there will soon be new "Sandwich Shop and Bar" opening up to replace Chick a Dees on Crouch Hill a few doors up from Piccolos. Could be a few weeks away by the looks of it. I think it's going to be called May's. Anyone know any more?

Stupid phone. Max's I think it's called

Seen a bloke setting up in there. I don't have high hopes for any business' setting up on Crouch Hill to be honest. Even nice places like Fabrizzio and Picollo seem to struggle. There was an absolute spot on kebab place (now Pancakes Paradise) that shut too.

By high hopes, I mean hopes that they'll last and be succesful.

Piccolo Diavolo always seems fairly busy to me nowadays, it's packed some evenings.<div>I'm a big fan of it.</div><div><br></div><div>Fabrizio is nice - I think the outside makes it look not quite as good as it is.</div>

Recent Crouch Hill learning: Winston Churchill's nanny lived in later life, and indeed died, at her sister's - number 15, which is now the hairdresser. The great man visiting her there. Meaning the great man visited that very road to say goodbye.

Some insider intelligence: the sandwich shop is being started by Max Halley, the manager of the acclaimed Le Coq in Highbury

Papa L, I think both are great. Piccolo is as often dead as it is packed. Meanwhile, there is a queue out of the door to get into Pappagones.

Lololala, is that a good thing? I take it Le Coq is pretty good?

Le Coq is a pub next to H&I station. A very average pub

@Sutent Haha no! The pub is the Famous Cock Tavern. Le Coq is the rotisserie chicken restaurant next to Trullo.<div><br></div><div>Looking forward to seeing the sandwich shop take shape. You can follow Max's progress on twitter - @lunchluncheon<;/div>

I really like the way Crouch Hill is going. I haven't been in the Noble since its refurbishment?<div><br></div><div>You could say it's going uphill from a SGR perspective.<br><div><br></div><div><br></div></div>

I've gone from incredibly unexcited about a sandwich shop to finding out that's it's from the people from Le Coq, serves booze and is going to be hot sandwiches until late - this place looks amazing! Looks how Crouch Hill is going proper gastro - I'm still concerned about the footfall but hopefully the name and some promo will help.

And he's ex Salt Yard, this gets better and better!

vetski · October 2014

This is exciting news. I hope late means 'can get a hot sarnie at 2am'!

ADGS · October 2014

The Famous Cock, as it's more normally known. Bit ghastly. No longer even used for pre/between-set drinks by bands playing underneath, who now favour the Spoons around the corner.

Vetski: it means you can get a hot sarnie at 3am!<br><br>http://www.hot-dinners.com/Gastroblog/Latest-news/max-s-sandwich-shop-and-bar-brings-late-night-sarnies-to-crouch-hill<br><br>;
