From the team behind Mitch & Antler comes James & Antler: a hole-in-the-wall joint taking inspiration from European market-style food culture in an ode to the croque sandwich. Slinging a signature sanga filled with smoked ham and egmont cheese, topped with their signature leek cream and manchego cheese, James & Antler have also created contemporary fillings to pad their menu – think wagyu bolognese, cod brandade, creamy cauliflower, and the sweet dolci featuring stewed pineapple and pistachio, topped with macadamia butter and roasted shaved coconut.
