The pulled pork sandwich (£4) and the cream of mushroom chicken pie (£2.5) are both to die for! I also appreciate that they provided an extensive list of ingredients for each sandwich. However, I was disappointed to find that rapeseed oil is used in the sandwiches. If you're not aware of how harmful rapeseed oil can be, I recommend looking it up.
A charming and small sandwich store close to the university campus. They have a little selection of warm foods suck as pies and pasties and a bigger for different sandwiches and drinks. You can also sit and eat there, but it’s luckily a 2-3 minute walk from the nearby university buildings.
Despite the mish-mash of decorations, the sandwiches are always good and they are more than happy to make one up if you fancy something different. Little pricey but definitely worth the money!
A near-daily stop to acquire a lunch sandwich. Open early enough to catch me on my walk to the office with consistently good, ready-to-go sandwiches. Not much to say otherwise
