Sandwich watch

It’s simple but glorious: panko-crumbed King George whiting on soft white bread, with textural tartare and iceberg lettuce.

Some salad sangers lead to regret, but this is a celebration of crunch and freshness. “It’s by far our most labour-intensive sanger on the menu.”

Here are some of the best things between bread from the year that was.
