About Assassination Custard
Fun, raucous and irreverent, Assassination Custard have been thrilling customers in its sardine can size lunch-time only premises since 2015.
Their simple approach based around a couple of growers and suppliers might be inspired but it’s their sheer stubborn belief in what they do that makes a pilgrimage to A.C. so worthwhile.
Think labneh, piccalilli and smoked anchovy; fava beans and dandelion; ray jowls, fermented lime and yoghurt; goat kidneys and curry leaf aioli.
