They've become big in Ireland and now grilled toastie shop Griolladh (pronounced "Grill-Ah" in case you were wondering) is making its way to London, opening in Clapham first (as spotted by @bestofbattersealdn).
Like many places in the UK, they started during the pandemic, first working out of a trailer in their garden before opening their standalone shops. You'll now find them across Dublin, as well as Cork, Limerick and Kildare (not our second home of Galway, though, which is why we personally are only hearing about them now).
As for what they do, it's all about their grilled toasties, mainly made with their malted sourdough. Examples are the Potato Spice (vintage cheddar, Irish mozzarella, griolladh tots, griolladh sauce, house jalapeños, marinated red onion), The Trademark Hambo (vintage cheddar, Irish mozzarella, shredded ham, secret sandwich sauce, crunchy crisps) or the All Day Breakfast (vintage cheddar, Irish mozzarella, crispy bacon, pork sausages, secret sandwich sauce, tomato jam). Or you can just create your own, with more options including omelette and slow-cooked brisket toasties. Their tots are also a big thing, as are seasonal specials.
They'll be opening in 2027 in Clapham Junction station, so if you travel through there, this is one to watch for.
