We bring sad tidings for London’s fry-up fanatics — the city’s favourite posh greasy spoon in shutting its doors. In a post on Monday, May 19, Norman’s Cafe, run by Elliot Kaye and Richie Hayes, wrote: ‘After 5 great years of Norman’s Cafe we have made the very tough decision to close our location in North London.’

Norman’s opened in Archway in 2020, beginning life as a sandwich shop before evolving into a proper caff, serving classic British favourites and childhood comfort meals from kippers on toast and jam roly-poly to bubble and squeak and chicken nuggets with chips and beans. You can read more about how the caff was born here

In the announcement of the closure Kaye and Hayes added: ‘We are both excited to progress and develop with what we have started at Norman’s through other avenues and look forward to hopefully seeing some of you again soon.’

If you still want to get your gnashers around Norman’s Guinness bread and butter, scotch eggs or full English while you still can, you’ve got until its last day of service on Sunday, June 8.
