Four years after winning over Notting Hill with its inventive sandwiches, the Secret Sandwich Shop is opening its second location. The new outpost has opened inside Harvey Nichols, Knightsbridge, on the store’s lower ground floor, offering fans another spot to enjoy the shop’s signature sando-style creations. Classics like the Egg Salad Sando and The Hungry Dane will headline the menu, alongside a rotating monthly special unique to Harvey Nichols, giving diners a taste they can only find at this unique location.
Adding a fresh twist, the Knightsbridge store introduces an LA-inspired matcha menu, featuring drinks such as Tokyo Milk Foam and Coco Cloud, plus a lineup of Japanese-influenced cocktails, including a Matcha Martini, Hibiki Sour, and Yuzu Gin Fizz. For those seeking a luxury indulgence, the menu also offers a 21-year-old Hibiki whisky, priced at £150 a glass.
