About Sarni

Ascot’s sandwich counter bakes its bread fresh on-site daily, loading thick focaccia with chef-driven cuts and balance. Locals flock in for hefty lunch builds—from mortadella layered with parsley stracci and hot honey to tender smoked brisket and crispy chicken cutlets. Rotating specials keep things interesting, but the sides hold their own weight: thick potato chips fried in beef tallow and crunchy chicken salt hash browns. Wash it down with a salted Vietnamese iced coffee or an iced Earl Grey matcha sunrise.

  • In-House Baked Sandwiches: Stacked focaccia baked fresh on-site and loaded with combinations like mortadella with parsley stracci, smoked brisket, or crisp chicken cutlets.
  • Beef Tallow Chips & Sides: Thick chips fried crisp in beef tallow and golden chicken salt hash browns.
  • Specialty House Drinks: Distinct morning quenchers spanning salted Vietnamese iced coffee, Mont Blanc espresso, and citrus-spiked matcha.

    When we have visitors we always send them to sarni, the tallow fries are a must.

    The weekend specials are such a hit, as well as the vodka chicken and the mortadella but really…. I have yet to be disappointed!!!

Chef-Crafted Sandwiches

  • Smoked Brisket Sandwich

    The brisket was melting in my mouth and the tangy sauce complemented the meat perfectly. The buns were so spongey and soft.

Sides & Specialty Drinks

  • Beef Tallow Chips

    But a quiet achiever I'd like to mention were the chips. Whatever the process for them is and oil etc, keep it up.

    Matt Ward

Before you head over

Practical advice on timing, menus, and dietary considerations for your visit

  • Expect weekend queues

    Weekend rushes draw steady crowds, so anticipate a line when stopping by during peak Saturday and Sunday services.

  • Navigate specials versus core items

    Weekly and monthly rotating sandwich specials often introduce bolder flavours, but standard core menu items offer consistent favourites if you prefer a classic meal.

  • Check dietary details for fried sides

    The house chips and fries are cooked in beef tallow, making them unsuitable for vegetarians despite being a standout side.
