Best Dishes at Dusty Knuckle
Potato Sourdough Loaf
BreadThe signature loaf is sold unsliced — which The Infatuation calls 'the greatest thing ever'. Crusted exterior, charred loaf with light, airy crumb and subtle potato flavor. Multiple reviews highlight this as the standout bread. Perfect for taking home to slice thick for toast or sandwiches.
Sandwich of the Day
MainsThe Infatuation mentions 'beetroot and chicken caesar sandwiches' as an example. The menu rotates daily with fillings like masala cauliflower, smashed cucumber with labneh and walnut sauce, or beef birria with melted cheese and pickles. All made on thick-cut house sourdough. Generous portions justify the £11 price point.
Morning Bun
PastryA sweet breakfast option that The Infatuation recommends. The pastry spiral is crispy on the outside with cinnamon sugar coating and soft center. These go quickly in the morning.
Pain au Chocolat with Almond Paste
PastryFrequently recommended in reviews. The lamination creates crispy, shattering layers with melting chocolate and almond paste inside. Baked fresh each morning. One of the standout pastries that keeps customers returning.
Cheese Toastie
MainsClassic toastie made with quality cheese and thick-cut house sourdough. Simple but satisfying, especially paired with a coffee. Monday is bread-and-pastry-only service, so toasties are Tuesday-Sunday.

Monday is bread, pastry, and coffee only — no hot food or sandwiches. If you want lunch, come Tuesday onward.
Arrive early — there are often 20+ minute queues during peak morning and lunch hours. Weekday lunch (Tue-Fri after noon) tends to be quieter than weekends.
The Dusty Knuckle is a social enterprise training at-risk youngsters through mentorship. Your purchase supports the program and free bread-making and fermentation classes they offer.
Check if sourdough pizzas are happening this weekend — they're not on every weekend but a special treat when available.
