Sold out sando’s are heartbreaking and might feel like we’re getting everything wrong, but they’re actually the sign of a system that’s working exactly how it’s meant to. Here’s the tea ☝🏼

How do you have your first baby and open a sandwich shop on the same day?

Ask Tim Vincent. He did both, and somehow ended up with a local cult favourite.

@back_to_ours_ came first: a coffee and brunch spot inside a converted orphanage in Leytonstone. Then @thisisearls sandwiches, truly unforgettable sandwiches that take a day to make, launched with help from a Square Loan that landed in 48 hours.

Together with Head Chef Wahab and an epic team, Tim’s built something sharp, thoughtful, and insanely brilliant. They call it casual excellence, and that feels right.

You’ll find them in, and on the cover of ORDER UP! - our cookbook celebrating the places that keep London eating well, in support of @hospitalityaction

Tim’s journey into hospitality hasn’t been simple, but what he’s built speaks for itself. Go see for your self, back open for 2026!🥪☕️

You might’ve seen us on @saturday.kitchen yesterday.
(I know. WTF. We were on actual television!)

And the sandwich we served up there is now landing in our OG Cann Hall spot, from today.

Introducing: The Snap, Cluckle & Pop. 🥪💥

A tempura-inspired fried chicken batter made with Rice Krispies because apparently we’ve now entered our “what if cereal… but chicken?” era.

Inside:
🔥 Housemade hot sauce
🌿 Herby green goodness come ranch sauce
🥒 Pickles from @rlygoodpickles
🥬 Fresh lettuce
🍗 Crispy Rice Krispie fried chicken

…all served between two slices of our iconic square tin sourdough from @thesnapery.east

Crunchy. Saucy. Loud. The kind of sandwich that makes people stop talking mid-bite.

Leytonstone gets it first — available from today. And @boxpark Shoreditch gets theirs from tomorrow.

TV fame clearly hasn’t changed us at all 🫡

This sandwich is cerealously delicious 😍 In celebration of British Sandwich Week, Tim Vincent from @thisisearls is whipping up his Snap, Cluckle and Pop chicken sandwich - now this is crunch with a punch 🥪🤜

You can find the recipe on the BBC Food Website ✨ #SaturdayKitchen

Get ready for some Walford-level entertainment 🔥 @natcass1 joins @matt.tebbutt live very soon with this Cassidy-lightful lineup of brilliant guests - see you at 10am! 😍 #SaturdayKitchen

Big news.

Yes, it might be the hottest weekend of the year. Yes, you probably have plans. Yes, there are parks, pubs and questionable inflatable paddling pools calling your name.

Unfortunately, we now need you to cancel all of that because… @thisisearls is going on @saturday.kitchen this morning.

We’ll be live at 9:45am teaching the nation how to make our latest special:

The Snap, Crackle & Pop. A rice crispy fried chicken extravaganza with hot sauce, green sauce and @rlygoodpickles in between our signature square @thesnapery.east bread. It’s a sandwich with absolutely no business sounding this good before 10am. It’s also a sandwich that will be available across both sites TOMORROW!

Tune in this morning, to watch us attempt live television without spilling sauce on ourselves, swearing accidentally, or becoming permanently blinded by studio lights.

Honestly? Huge moment for the sandwich community.

See you in an hour. Iced coffee in hand. Crumbs on sofa 🥪📺

This lineup deserves its own duff duff 😄🎭✨ @natcass1 is joining @matt.tebbutt in the studio tomorrow for stories, sips, and more sizzle than an Albert Square showdown 🔥

And with @mctsingh, @tompbowles and Tim from @thisisearls cooking up a storm, and @knackeredmother on wines, we’re all set for a golden start to your sunny Bank Holiday weekend 🌞🧑‍🍳

See you tomorrow! ✨ #SaturdayKitchen

With the shocking news this week that Leytonstone’s much-loved @back_to_ours_ is having to leave @gsstudiose11 at the end of July, this week I had a long chat with owner Tim Vincent about his plans both for his OG cafe and the smash hit sequel @thisisearls

But the chat turned into something much deeper, as Tim shared his deeply moving and ultimately inspiring story of triumph over extreme adversity - the horrifying brain injury that led to the opening of his first cafe.

Read the full interview in this week’s issue, which also marks this year’s British Sandwich Week, and features @covenofwiches plus an in-depth chat with @deeneys about their impressive new cafe at @quentinblakehq in Clerkenwell.

🚀 NEW SPECIAL KLAXON 🚀

Introducing: The Picklemans.

A very British sandwich having a very Earl’s moment.

Think ploughman’s lunch… but less pub carpet, more sandwich escalation.

Inside:
🟡 House piccalilli loaded with cauliflower, green beans, peppers, pearl onions, pineapple, Birds Eye chilli, turmeric, mustard seeds and enough vinegar to wake the dead
🧀 Smoked cheddar
🐖 Ham
🥚 Mayo doing the glue work

Sharp. Smoky. Pickly. The kind of sandwich that makes you aggressively want to name your tastebuds.

Available at both sites from tomorrow. Until stocks last.

See you at lunch. 🥪

We’ve been quietly working on some new specials behind the scenes. (“Quietly” meaning the kitchen has looked like a very delicious identity crisis for the last few weeks.)

From next week, new specials will start landing across both sites. Some old favourites. Some questionable levels of sauce. Some things that probably shouldn’t work but absolutely do.

And in other mildly surreal news… Earl’s will also be heading to your TV screens very soon for a little one-off appearance 👀

Can’t say much yet. But if you suddenly see sandwiches in high definition… the queues aren’t far behind.

Keep your eyes peeled for the announcement.

Big things. Big stacks. Usual chaos. 🥪📺

It’s back. You lot wouldn’t let it go.

The Fish Finger Sando is ON as a weekend special.

Because if there’s one thing Brits will always do… it’s take something perfectly good, batter it, and put it between slices of bread. And honestly? We respect it.

Ours is crispy. Saucy. Slightly outrageous. A love letter to beige food… just with better ingredients, plenty of green and a bit more self-respect.

Available this weekend. Until it inevitably sells out.

Queue accordingly 🥪🐟

Right. This one’s simple. We are now fully live on Deliveroo from both sites.

Cann Hall 🤝 Shoreditch

Same sandwiches. Same chaos. Now with less leaving the house.

Whatever’s on the menu that day = what’s on Deliveroo.
Until it’s not. (You know how we feel about selling out.) There’s even a midweek discount on a full lunch order with housemade crisps 👀

So if you can’t face the queue… or trousers… or people… We’ll come to you. Will even travel to parks!

Delicious. Stacked. Slightly dangerous.

Order accordingly. 🥪🚴‍♂️
