Max’s Sandwich Shop is an independent restaurant at 19 Crouch Hill in north London. Established in 2014, it treats the sandwich as a complete meal and serves it in an informal shop where the names and combinations are as playful as the overall tone.
The Ham, Egg ’n’ Chips is a defining example, combining slow cooked ham hock, fried egg, piccalilli, shoestring fries and malt vinegar mayonnaise. Other sandwiches move through poached chicken, pickled vegetables, spring rolls and changing international influences rather than following a conventional deli formula.
Sides are built with the same appetite, including crushed fried potatoes, chicken wings, smoked sausage and deep fried macaroni cheese balls. The result is a short, focused menu in which sauces, pickles, crunch and richness are used to make each item feel substantial.
The shop does not take reservations during normal service, and it also provides takeaway, catering and limited private hire on days when it would otherwise be closed. The menu changes, so diners should check the current choices. Anyone with allergies should ask about individual components, sauces and shared frying or preparation before ordering.
