People of North London!

Dusty Knuckle don’t make burgers but we are feeling sleazy so f**k it on Saturday night we are gonna go for it .. just for the hell of it.

Truth be told we are working on a BUN and can’t work out how the dough will behave at scale. So we thought heck we have a dreamy wee restaurant on Green Lanes and loads of pleasant people in N4 who will surely need burgers and pints on Saturday night?

Plus we got a new sheriff in town in an Ops role and we want to see what he’s sayin on the grill.

So come down and eat burgers and drink pints ! No chips tho la. We don’t wanna f**k up the Summer beach bod too much.

No bookings, walk in only. See you there sweetheart!

Thurs–Sat. From 5:30pm
Harringay goes full pizza mode.

Dough stretched fresh. Wine open.
Book it. Bring mates. Eat properly.

For one night only, we’re bringing a bit of funky, low key jazz to Harringay Pizza night.

On Saturday 21st May, we’ve got Rocco Brothers in the building. They will be serving up some smooth and funky jazz while you get stuck into pizzas, small plates and sip on something sexy.

These local brothers, Joel and Benjamin having played some of London’s top spots including Ronnie Scott’s and PizzaExpress Jazz Club in Soho. They are now bringing their sound inspired by New York, Paris and the new wave of London jazz to Green Lanes.

Alongside that, we’re launching a brand new drinks list - fresh wines and cocktails all put together by our very own Sara. BIG UP to Harringay bar and FOH team who will be shaking cocktails all night long.

This isn’t a sit-down-and-listen kinda gig, just some great live tunes, played by some talented local musicians, while you do your thing.

Same deal as always - good food, good drinks, good people… just with a bit more sax.

If you fancy it, book a table via the link in our bio or on the website to help us out with numbers. It’ll fill up, so get in there early.

Spread the word, tag your mates 👍

DUSTY DINNERS with BLACK AXE MANGAL

Stop what you’re doing… BIG NEWS 🚨

Dusty Dinners is back and this one feels like a proper moment.

We’re welcoming the iconic Lee and Kate from BLACK AXE MANGAL into the bakery for a two-night blowout: THURSDAY 21ST & FRIDAY 22ND MAY

Lee is a cult hero among chefs and restaurant industry folk: unapologetically authentic, a maverick chef, a tireless innovator, and (perhaps most importantly) passionate about Kerrygold butter. He is known for not just tearing up the culinary rulebook, but shredding it, roasting it over a hot grill, and serving it up with the occasional sprinkling of edible glitter.

From St. JOHN to Bread & Wine, to launching BLACK AXE MANGAL as a pop-up in Copenhagen before it became a north London institution, Lee has built a reputation for doing things completely his own way.

Lee & Kate recently closed the doors in Highbury after over a decade of serving up some of the most outrageous, loved and talked-about food in the city. But it’s not the end…

They are heading into the bakery for two nights only.

MENU (VEGGIE OPTIONS AVAILABLE)
💥 Crisps, Smoked Cod’s Roe & Nori
💥 Sichuan Spiced Potted Pork
💥 Pickled Cucumbers & Dusty Knuckle Linseed Baguette
💥 Grilled Shredded Chicken Coconut Laksa
💥 Fragrant Rice & Fresh Herbs
💥 Panna Cotta, Pink Lemonade Jelly & Yuzu Granita

This will be outside on our decking. Grill on. Speakers up. We’re working on a drinks special.

This is going to be loud, messy, emotional and absolutely delicious. Proper end-of-an-era energy.

MORE ON PRICING 😐
A few weeks back we posted an infographic about pricing at Dusty Knuckle and it was seen by a pretty terrifying number of people.

At the time, we put bread prices up a little in order to raise our bakers’ pay and it’s now time for food, pastry and coffee to follow as the 2026 London Living Wage lands on the rest of the DK payroll.

The London Living Wage is a voluntary £14.80 per hour – a full 21% higher than the Government set National Minimum Wage. This higher figure is devised by the Living Wage Foundation, and thoroughly examines the costed reality of London life in 2026. The government minimum figure, alternatively, is a simple median calculation which ignores the price of ... everything.

If that’s what we paid our team, your food and your bread would be sh*te, because the people making it would be miserable.

This would fly in the face of another central purpose to DK which is to provide a professional environment full of hope, hard graft and fun to the young people on our program who face some of the biggest challenges in the city.

It’s always painful and a bit terrifying for us to put price hikes onto the customers that we love but we do not feel that there’s much choice. This is not motivated by greed or business incompetence (we don’t think ?!) despite some of the comments on the last post (😵‍💫) … we just want to stay in business and keep baking for you. There’s no fatcat investors behind this decision, just the same founders who launched DK 12 yrs ago knowing nothing about what they were getting themselves into 😂 but who remain determined to keep the place ticking and full of soul.

Can we take this opportunity to thank everyone for their continued support and here’s hoping we continue to see you guys at our counters for a coffee and pastry soon.

With love and respect

Team DK
