"The much-loved Dalston and Harringay bakery’s famous bubbly focaccia is the vehicle of choice and between it is herb-stuffed porchetta, pork crackling, quince aioli, and lemon-dressed watercress. For vegetarians there’s a gorgonzola and charred brussels tops option, as well as a vegan spiced carrot and parsnip number." - jake missing
"The Dusty Knuckle announced the arrival of their mince pies this year with a cinematic Instagram video worthy of Scorsese—think, slow-motion icing and the words “soon come”. You can get them from the Dalston and Green Lanes bakeries this festive season, as well as their Highbury van and milk float." - sinead cranna
"In very exciting news, after some patient waiting, the Dusty Knuckle’s new bakery is opening in Green Lanes is opening on Saturday. They’re arguably the best in the biz, so we’re very excited about the pizza restaurant setup that’s going to be running on weekends only. Of course there will still be bread, wondrously-filled focaccia sandwiches, morning buns, and all the other gems they make as well. Bookings for the pizza restaurant are open now." - jake missing
"Imagine a copy of War and Peace, then imagine a copy of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire—put the two together with a filling of meatballs, crème fraîche, a dressed salad, and pickles, and then you have an idea of the size of the Dusty Knuckle’s focaccia sandwiches. The esteemed north London bakery’s location in Harringay is a breezy, comfortable cafe as well. Perfect for early morning buggy meet-ups and solo sandwich eaters head down in words." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing
"The Dusty Knuckle is probably the best bakery in north London and their second location only reaffirms that. It’s big and airy, open from 8am, and full of their incomparably delicious morning buns. Come lunchtime, changing bits are put between two slices of their faultless focaccia or in the winter months, there are homely bowls of soup. It’s open on weekends for pizza nights and, if it was open through the early hours, we’d probably never leave." - jake missing
