I finally made it to @secretsandwichshop in Notting Hill on Sunday as the place has been garnering quite a lot of attention. It's round the corner from the Ledbury and close to Dorian, but it helps to know the full address as the place is so secret, the sign over the shop front says GLOBE in capital letters. Inside, it's pretty compact and cosy, with just a few tables and a small kitchen/counter at the end of the room. The menu is short, with prices ranging from £10 to £12, which seems reasonable when sandwiches are this good. I went for the Ham, Cheese & Egg (£10.50), featuring a Fried Burford Brown, lettuce, tomato and kewpie mayo. It was well made and generous -- without being of the silly, stacked types made for Instagram rather than eating -- and filled with quality ingredients. Without being a Kemi Badenoch fan, I'll say that I am a little surprised that sandwiches are having their moment. My ideal bread-based repast is probably a freshly baked baguette, eaten in France and filled with ripe Camembert. But Secret Sandwich is good, and I am more likely to return there than to go for the bargain £200 lunch at the Ledbury, much as I admire Brett Graham. #rvinesdines #sandwich Less
