Hox Sarnie Special: Sonora Taqueíra

2026 is the year of the sandwich and we’re here for it.

The Hox Sarnie Special is our monthly rotating sandwich series in the lobby at The Hoxton, Holborn. Each month we’re teaming up with some of London’s most exciting food talent, alongside seasonal creations from neighbourhood restaurant Rondo, serving up one-off sandwiches designed to celebrate great produce and culinary creativity.

January:  Auld Hag’s Battered Balmoral Roll with battered chicken, Ayrshire bacon, haggis and Lochlea Distillery Whisky sauce. 

February: Dr Sting’s Hot Honey Brioche Roll with mortadella, Dijon, Swiss, pickled onions and matchstick fries, finished with a generous drizzle of hot honey. Paired perfectly with our Dr Sting’s Hot Honey Margarita. 

March: We brought things in-house, with the Rondo Steak Sando – bavette steak on sourdough, layered with salsa verde, caramelised onions and matchstick fries. 

April: Bad Boy Pizza Society (named number 3 best pizza in London by Time Out) Vodka Parm alla Prosciutto. Crispy chicken, vodka sauce, prosciutto, whipped ricotta and triple cheese on a ciabatta roll, served up with a Sapling Bloody Mary..

May:

London’s hottest taco spot, Sonora Taqueíra, is landing at Hox Holborn celebrating Cinco de Mayo with a take on the classic Mexican torta – the Barbacoa Torta.

It’s stacked with slow-cooked beef barbacoa, refried beans, avocado, red onion, finished with a grilled cheese crust and salsa roja on the side for extra heat. Alongside it, a bespoke Sonora Paloma has been created in partnership with Patrón, mixing Patrón Silver with taco spice, lime, agave and London Essence pink grapefruit soda. 

Available in the Holborn lobby throughout May – get it whilst it’s hot.
