Salt beef sandwiches, latkes, chicken soup, and tangy pickles
"Tongue And Brisket is the kind of sandwich spot that puts other sandwich spots to shame. Here you get a proper wedge of food between your bread. Yes, they’ve got your sarnie classics (see roast turkey, smoked salmon), and there are some others you’re definitely not going to find at M&S (see ox tongue, chicken schnitzel, chopped liver). But what you really need to know about is their salt beef sandwiches. We’re talking soft rye bread, a pickled cucumber, a door stop of salt beef, and enough mustard to make your eyes water. This is the place if you want a sandwich that’ll keep you full through to dinner, or a famine, whichever comes first." - Heidi Lauth Beasley
"Put that sad supermarket sandwich down. At Tongue & Brisket you get a proper wedge of food between your bread. Yes, they’ve got your sarnie classics (roast turkey, smoked salmon), but others you’re definitely not going to find at M&S (ox tongue, chicken schnitzel, chopped liver). What you really need to know about is their salt beef sandwiches. We’re talking soft rye bread, a pickled cucumber, a doorstop of salt beef, and enough mustard to make your eyes water." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
"The Soho sibling to Edgware’s legendary B&K Salt Beef Bar, Tongue & Brisket’s go-to sandwich is one of London’s finest examples of a meal between two slices. The slices in question are rye, flecked with the liquorice tang of caraway seeds, and piled with moist salt beef, tangy pickle, sauerkraut, and a spread of mustard. It’s a really good sandwich. Especially for under £10. But if that’s not your thing, there’s chicken schnitzel, latkes, and chocolate brownie to finish it all off. Check out more of central London's best-value meals" - jake missing, daisy meager, sinead cranna, rianne shlebak
"We don’t use this word lightly, but whoever first invented the sandwich was a genius. A bloody champion of crust. A messiah of bread. And if you’re looking for a proper sandwich near Farringdon, Tongue & Brisket on Leather Lane is a great bet. This isn’t the kind of sad sarnie shop that’ll leave you questioning exactly how many hours, minutes, and seconds there are until dinner. This is a place for whole schnitzels and piles of salt beef (ask for lots and lots of mustard) inside rye." - sinead cranna, jake missing, heidi lauth beasley

This is a place for whole schnitzels, and piles of salt beef inside rye (pro-tip: ask for lots and lots of mustard, since they have a natural tendency to under do it). All that being said, if you’re looking for some suave interior design then Tongue and Brisket might not be for you, but if it’s a proper sandwich you’re after, they’ve got you covered." - oliver feldman, jo harris cooksley, heidi lauth beasley, jake missing
