Our Chef Special Sandwiches

Lamb Kofta in Brioche: A Savoury Symphony

Lamb kofta in brioche offers a delightful fusion of textures and flavours. Savoury, spiced lamb kofta, grilled to juicy perfection, nestles within a soft, slightly sweet brioche bun. The aromatic blend of herbs and spices in the kofta, often including cumin, coriander, and mint, contrasts beautifully with the buttery richness of the brioche. A drizzle of tangy yogurt sauce or a dollop of vibrant chutney adds a refreshing counterpoint, while crisp lettuce and tomato provide a satisfying crunch. This gourmet take on a street food classic is a truly satisfying handheld meal.

Shrimp Rolls | Shrimp Sandwiches in Brioche: Seafood Indulgence

A Shrimp Roll in Brioche is a luxurious seafood indulgence. Succulent, plump shrimp, lightly seasoned and often tossed in a creamy, tangy dressing, are nestled within a buttery, slightly sweet brioche bun. The delicate sweetness of the brioche complements the savory shrimp, while a hint of lemon or dill brightens the flavors. Crisp lettuce or celery adds a refreshing crunch, balancing the richness. These shrimp sandwiches offer a delightful textural contrast and a sophisticated seafood experience, perfect for a light lunch or elegant appetiser.

Tuna 3 Cheese Melt in Brioche: Decadent Delight

The Tuna 3 Cheese Melt in Brioche is a decadent sandwich experience. Flaky, flavourful tuna, mixed with a creamy binder, is layered with a trio of melted cheeses, often including sharp cheddar, gooey mozzarella, and tangy provolone. This savoury filling makes a delightful contrast in a sweet, buttery brioche bun. The warm, melted cheeses create a gooey, satisfying texture, while the tuna adds a rich depth. A hint of Dijon mustard or a sprinkle of herbs enhances the flavour profile. This indulgent melt is a comforting and sophisticated take on a classic.

Tuna Egg & Mayo in Brioche: Comfort Food Redefined

Our tuna is perfectly flaky, when it’s mixed with that creamy mayo and those chunks of hard-boiled egg- it creates a filling that’s somehow both light and satisfying at the same time. There’s something almost enticing about how that slight sweetness and buttery texture completely transforms what could be just an ordinary tuna egg sandwich into something that feels like a little luxury. You’ll love how all the textures come together – you get that tender tuna, the creamy mayo binding everything, those firm bits of egg, and then the pillowy brioche just yielding with each bite. Pure comfort food! Just a little crack of black pepper or a tiny squeeze of lemon juice takes it to the next level.

Signature Hotdog: A Gourmet Twist

Hotdogs from Picnic Basket Project

A plump, premium chicken sausage, often all-chicken or a gourmet blend, takes centre stage. Nestled within a soft, toasted bun, it’s a canvas for culinary creativity. Our toppings include caramelised onions, crispy bacon, with a drizzle of gourmet cheese sauce that elevates the experience. Each ingredient is carefully chosen for its flavour and texture, creating a harmonious symphony of tastes. This signature Hotdog is a celebration of quality ingredients and bold flavour combinations, a truly unforgettable handheld delight.
