A Tripadvisor reviewer of the Essex Market outpost specifically called out having 'No Line at noon on a Friday,' framing it as a notable exception rather than the norm, implying waits do form at busier times, per Tripadvisor.
Because the stall sits inside a shared market hall rather than a standalone storefront, any wait is informal counter-service queuing rather than a hostess line, and no source establishes specific peak days or hours beyond that one Friday-noon data point.
