Cole and Sons Deli

Don’t ask them for a hot dog.*
Cole and Sons Deli is the official headquarters of Big Apples Hot Dogs, easily and without a doubt the best hot dog in London. They bought an old deli to turn it into… well, that’s the question isn’t it.
Technically it’s their offices, but it’s not like any office you’ve ever seen. Butcher equipment and inflatable hot dogs hang from the ceiling. They have a deli counter full of beer as you walk in. And of course there’s the epic biker-​style spray painted mural in the corner.
They do work out of here but the real reason that it was put together was for experimentation. They work on food, they work on business, they cook like crazy. They’re constantly inviting new chefs to practice and make food in their fully equipped downstairs kitchen.
Which also makes it the perfect place to do an event. Cole and Sons has been rented out for many things, from movie screenings (they have a projector already set up) to parties to events. It is the best spot for a supper club that I’ve seen in a while. Too cool.
So the home of Big Apple Hot Dogs is worth checking out if you’re in the area. And even if you’re not. Stop in, say hi to owner Abiye, he’ll be glad to show you around. Just again, they don’t make the hot dogs here. Don’t ask them.*
* Ok, they’ll totally make you a hot dog if you ask, because they’re awesome. Tell them I sent you, you’ll be great.
