Max's - Sandwich Shop - Crouch Hill

poxy · November 2014

It's open. Short menu... Just three mains and the one dessert. Really well-done slow-cooked food, served fast. The opening deal is half-price food. The booze licence doesn't arrive until next week. It's packed in here. No empty tables. I'll try to upload a photo of the menu somehow. It's good. I'll be back.

This place is amazing. Seriously good sandwich. Bill Callahan on the hi-fi.

£7 seems expensive for sandwich. Is it good value? Am in Kerala where you can eat a whole red snapper for under £5

Arkady · November 2014

The word sandwich doesn't really do it justice. The filling would make a satisfying main course in itself. If you are dubious then try it now while it costs a fiver for a sarny and two coffees. Also, it helped me to discover that even I will eat broccoli if it is first deep fried.

Nothing wrong with a sandwich. It's kept us going for centuries. The French have their fancy ones, baguette, and the Italians have their ciabatta. It's still a sandwich. The Middle East gave us falafel in pitta with lovely sauces and spices. And I'm not forgetting the English sandwich. As a veggie that will be cheese, salad and pickle between two slices of wholemeal bread. MMM. This place seems like an evolution in sandwich making. I might pop in tomorrow. Will let you know!

They do have an impressive looking veggie option. Let us know how you get on

Had the veggie sandwich today - lovely, as long as you like onions! It was a bit like an onion with a sandwich on the side...<div><br></div><div>Great shades on the lights by the way (made from paper machiere) and the chap there this morning was great to chat to. Hope it's a big success for him.</div>

The licensing application in the window suggested it'll be open until midnight, is it planned to be more than a sandwich shop?

Arkady · November 2014

Licensed from next week. Wine and craft beers were mentioned.

Skev, I hope that doesn't lead to radiation.

No just drunkeness!

<p>This place is great. While the infamous 5 dollar shake may or may not have been worth 5 dollars, the £7 sandwich is definitely worth £7!</p><p>Do give it a go.</p><p><br></p>

I had The Spaniard (the veggie option) the other week and it was delicious. And very substantial. I think Max has made the right decision. It will attract a post-pub crowd especially at the weekend as well as attracting take-away and people wanting something low-key but substantial. Perhaps that stretch of Crouch Hill is the Lower East side of this area.

Terrific sandwiches. Highly recommended!

Oh, I thought it was an evening/late night place not a regular sandwich shop.

Arkady · December 2014

It's not a regular sandwich shop by any means, but at weekends it opens from 11:00.<div><br></div><div>They had a curried lamb special on this weekend. It was amazing.</div>

My husband and I went yesterday for the first time and I was hugely impressed. We had The Beef and The Spanish sandwiches to share and they were huge and delicious. We also split the choux pastry which comes with banana ice cream from Boco di Lupo for pudding. I would highly recommend. It's a nice place to sit and read the paper on a Sunday afternoon as well. And the wine was great. Will definitely be back. Max says it will be open again on 2nd January.

lifeofshayan · January 2015

a real favourite of mine now. i crave it most nights and the ham egg and chisp i would say is my fave.

vetski · January 2015

Still haven't been. Must rectify soon!

TheMimsy · January 2015

@ Vetski<div><br></div><div>Same here...</div>

vetski · February 2015

Well, I tried tonight since various online sources said it was ooen till 10pm on a Sun. Sadly, it was closed when I got there at 21.20...

dorothy · February 2015

The place is like Brigadoon. I've never found it open. It's certainly not open 'late'.

Arkady · February 2015

Curious, when have you been? It's not open Monday and Tuesday, but otherwise it's open until eleven in the week or twelve at weekends, from memory.

Howdy, Stranger!
