A. Gold, E1 6AG
- 42 Brushfield Street, E1 6AG
A. Gold was a delicatessen and sandwich shop near Liverpool Street Station and Spitalfields Market, specialising in British food. It closed down towards the end of 2018.
The information below is retained for historical purposes.
They sell old-fashioned drinks (sarsaparilla etc), old-fashioned sweets, Martin Pitt's eggs from happy hens, bottled Devon cider, various anchovy-based products, local honey, etc. They also have a couple of cake-type things, and a small chill cabinet with smoked salmon, cheese, pies, etc. (They may also sell mead and sloe gin but Kake didn't spot any on a visit in June 2008.)
It's not cheap, but it's not stupidly overpriced either. It's possibly best summed up by a quote from the Urban Path page linked below: "Charming without being twee."
