British breakfast & lunch classics: hash browns, bubble & squeak, sandwiches
"Although Norman’s is only open from Wednesday to Sunday, the trendy Tufnell Park caff is a favourite for a young and mulleted crowd in dire need of aesthetically pleasing plates of bacon, bubble and squeak, beans, and whatever else your stomach is grumbling for. The vibe is stylised slices of white bread and squeezes of ketchup, but in a reasonably priced way. The breakfast sets are reliably delicious, though a chip butty can go a long way, too. That said, it might also see you stagger back to your duvet." - heidi lauth beasley, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
"Ham. Egg. Chips. Three of our favourite words in the English language. Norman’s version of it is unsurprisingly excellent. The Tufnell Park cafe prides itself on faultless, high-quality plates of British breakfast and lunch classics. Plates of food and white bread sandwiches that make you wistful for the playground, with the occasional slice of red Leicester thrown in. As far as ham, egg, and chips go, this one is almost faultless. Thick, salty gammon of the delicious rather than offensive variety; superlative fat chips all crisp and fluffy, begging to be doused with Sarsons; and runny eggs, yolk positively akimbo." - jake missing, rianne shlebak
"Ever since it opened in 2020, Norman’s has proven to be an invaluable addition to deep-fried culture in London. The Kentish Town cafe specialises in old-school favourites like chicken nuggets and chippy butties done properly. There are hash browns aplenty and it is, of course, an excellent spot for a fry-up. But it’s things like the escalope sarnie and the homemade potato waffles that really get us going. It’s a golden, beige paradise here screaming out for baked beans, red, and brown sauce." - jake missing
"Norman’s isn’t a greasy spoon, though that is what this trendy cafe styles itself on. It's open Wednesday to Sunday, from 10am to 3pm, and on weekends you should definitely expect to queue as there are only seven or so tables inside. The Breakfast Set 2—a multi-carb delight featuring crispy hash brown, soft bubble and squeak, white sliced, a runny orange egg, thickly reduced homemade baked beans, and an added-on sausage for good measure—is extremely good. And their chicken escalope sandwich, all juicy breaded meat with melted red Leicester on top and spicy mayo between sliced white, is nothing short of perfect." - richard ehrlich 3, oliver feldman, jake missing
