Emitting a classic rustic experience of sometime mode grocers that I can’t appear to acquire plenty of, A. Gold is a niggling haven inwards Spitalfields. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 perfect halt to pick upward a sandwich made to social club (think beloved roast chicken alongside sage too onion stuffing!), a loving cup of Monmouth java made using a especially made brewing rack, a spell of homemade Victoria Sponge cake too a bar of Kendal mint cake for later!
Built inwards 1780, the edifice that houses A. Gold has been habitation to diamond-cutters, furriers, kick makers, drapers, book-binders too Amelia Gold (hence the mention A. Gold), who ran a French millinery job concern out of the store forepart inwards the 1880’s. If yous expect closely, her store sign is all the same visible nether their dark-green awning!
Avoid long queues from local offices past times arriving early on too follow them on twitter to larn nigh their daily sandwiches (or don’t to avoid drooling on your keyboard!). A. Gold likewise carries a modest alternative of “Traditional foods of Britain” past times independent brands such equally tins of Campbell’s teas, local beers, too sweets such equally carbohydrate mice!
A. Gold, 42 Brushfield Street, London E1 6AG
