A cozy little place with hard to beat prices. The jacket potato was quite enjoyable, a huge meal for me. Regular fried eggs for my friend. Great service, lovely staff.
A lovely spot to sit down to lunch or nurse some coffees in the afternoon and watch the world go by. There are only 5 or 6 tables arranged along floor length wrap around picture windows overlooking the intersection of hipster central at Old Street and Charlotte Road/Rufus Street. We arrived at late at 14:00 when there were plenty of tables. I imagine it could be busy here with office workers between 12:00 and 13:00.Hoxton’s is a basic independent sandwich shop and breakfast bar, that also offers a couple of cantine style warm meals at lunchtime. Today there was chilli con carne with rice, shepherd’s pie, and a couple of pasta dishes. The two daily sandwich specials were steak, onion and rocket as well as chorizo, grilled veg and rocket. I requested a toasted ciabatta with prosciutto, grilled vegetables and mozzarella. My companion ordered the chilli.The ingredients going into my sandwich were all of good quality. However, the amount of filing used was quite modest. A single layer of ham, a thin layer of mozarella, a scatter of good grilled veg consisting of mostly paprika and courgette and a bit of rocket. it was tasty enough though. My companion complained that his chilli was boring due to lack of spice. There was no cumin and virtually no chilli powder. It did taste predominantly of meat and beans.That said, lunch was cheap and I would be happy to return. I’ll stick to strongly flavored compound sandwich fillings given the modest amount used. The daily sandwich specials did sound attractive.
