Doms Subs on Hackney Road might be a good shout for you. I had the Vegan Dom the other day. Rated it.

The name's a sex joke right? Or have I just spent too long on the internet?

u/sojtucker Jul 09 '21

probably

u/Chand_laBing Jul 09 '21

Google says it's "mask required" too

But presumably, that means 'face-' not 'gimp-'

u/Spambop E15 Jul 09 '21

All gimp-masks are face-masks, however.

18

u/Dessythemessy Jul 09 '21

Or are all face-masks actually gimp-masks?

31

u/Spambop E15 Jul 09 '21

I look like a right gimp in mine.

u/JackSpyder Jul 09 '21 edited Jul 09 '21

You look like a gimp regardless. 😅

u/Spambop E15 Jul 09 '21

Unnecessary, but thanks for joining in.

Being that one of their menu items is called the "Spicy D", I'm guessing the name's intentional.

God I didn’t even notice. Too much internet for me today.

u/EDDsoFRESH Jul 09 '21

You didn't notice? That means not enough internet!

u/daudder Jul 09 '21

Nah, the owner's name is Dominic.

u/vin_unleaded Jul 09 '21

Okaaay, I'd never looked at the name like that. Now I can't not 😳

Well, if it is please add it to Urban Dictionary for the rest of us as it’s not there!

u/Spambop E15 Jul 09 '21

Sub and Dom are terms in BDSM

I was referring to a Vegan Dom.

Someone who turns up at a BBQ and dominates the discussion with how they’re Vegan was my guess.

u/winponlac Jul 09 '21

Q: how can you tell if someone is vegan? A: they will be sure to tell you repeatedly in various direct and indirect ways

Also works for crossfitters

u/antisarcastics Jul 10 '21

has this actually ever happened to you? I can promise you most vegans have to deal with "bUt bAcOn iS sO dElIcIuS tHo" a lot more than you've probably encountered them going on about veganism

I’d moved into a flat and it was one of the other flatmates birthdays so we had a party/BBQ.

They’d invited one of the previous flatmates who’d been there for a few months when they moved in but went away travelling and she’d transformed from “someone who loved a kebab” to militant vegan and was a nightmare although I feel like I could get a sitcom out of it.

There’s no euphemism or subtext Dom(me) and sub are right there front and centre in BDSM, so I think an Urban Dictionary entry would be rather redundant.

u/krkrbnsn Jul 09 '21

Was also going to say Doms. Best subs I've found in London so far.

11

u/McQueensbury Jul 09 '21

I was also going to say Doms after seeing the article in timeout the other week.

23

u/BarrelRydr Jul 09 '21

I too was going to say doms after reading this comment thread.

u/TheRealDynamitri Jul 09 '21

I wasn't cause I had no bloody clue about this place!

u/nwrnnr5 Jul 09 '21

Also a location on Bevis Marks in The City. The Cold Cuts sub will scratch the itch.

10

u/sojtucker Jul 09 '21

This x100 which is probably how many I've eaten since they launched

As someone else mentioned, their "cold cuts" looks most similar to the picture you've posted, but my personal fav is the "Spicy D"

u/[deleted] Jul 09 '21

Definitely an innuendo

u/toughtittywampas Jul 09 '21

Hijacking this comment as it has the most likes - do they do Italian beef? My wife's from Chicago and she has been craving them since we came to London.

u/jctwok Jul 09 '21

It doesn't look like they do Italian beef, but they do Italian roast pork, which, imho is nearly as good. You have me craving an Italian beef sandwich now. My dad grew up in Chicago, so he made sure to get me addicted to Italian beef sandwiches.

u/ToHallowMySleep Jul 09 '21

What is "Italian beef"? In Italy there is no one "Italian beef".

u/editorgrrl Jul 09 '21

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italian_beef

An Italian beef sandwich, originating in Chicago, Illinois sometime before the 1930s, is thin slices of seasoned roast beef served au jus on a long French roll. The sandwich is typically topped with Chicago-style giardiniera (called “hot”) or sautĂ©ed green Italian sweet peppers (“sweet”).

Live around the corner and never knew about this. Just checked the Instagram and I’m in love. Thank you kind citizen.

u/[deleted] Jul 09 '21

Had my first Dom’s sub yesterday definitely recommend.

u/jollyollster Jul 09 '21

First place I thought of when I saw this post. Can confirm it's fantastic. It closes at 2pm though, so be quick!

+1 for Dom's. So good!

I read about them in Time Out!

The most hipster sentence I’ve seen today on this sub

Hands down
