Our Story

Home-cured. Hand-carved. Family business.

​​

Tongue & Brisket is a tribute to salt beef sandwiches done properly and that ethos fully extends to every other sandwich on our mouth-watering menu.

​

Traditional homemade and high quality food are the pillar stones of our business. We pride ourselves on pickling all of our own salt beef as well as making homemade traditional dishes.

​

Founder Bambos Georgiou started life in the salt beef trade in the 1950s, working in the West End's Windmill Street. His reputation soared when he was approached by the owner of Selfridges to open a salt beef bar in their Food Hall. After establishing the Brass Rail, Bambos went to open B&K Salt Beef Bar in Edgware and Hatch End. This is where the rest of the family quickly learned the Salt Beef trade and decades later his sons and grandsons carry on his legacy.

​​​​

For over 30 years, B&K Salt Beef Bar has thrived as a successful family business, and three generations on, we bring you B&K Salt Beef Bar's little sister, Tongue & Brisket.
