I must admit that when I found out the previous owners were leaving, my heart sank a little. Would the next owners be able to provide such a good range of sandwiches and baguettes? Would they be crammed with fillings till no more would fit? Would I have to find somewhere else to get my lunch on a Friday? Would I have to go to buy a subway baguette from the petrol station up the road? So I looked at the new owners with some scepticism. But not for long. The first baguette was made by a grumpy looking girl and it was nowhere near as full as it used to be. Hmmm, I thought. But I went back again and it was a different story. Served by lovely staff and a full to the brim salmon and egg mayo baguette just the way it should be. And that's the way it stayed. So I am very happy. Well done to the 3 of you I see on a Friday afternoon. You are a credit to the Folly Market and Petersfield shops. Thank you.

Lauren has a wonderful selection of flavours, including catering for those with special dietry requirements.

For how many brownies and blondies we ordered, there were barely any left after the day but the few we had were thoroughly enjoyed on our minimoon! What’s even better is that if we ever want to re-live our special day, we can just nip down to Chinwags to grab a couple of their super yummy brownies! Thank you so...
Read moreWalking through we saw two guys eating massive Bacon Baguettes. We looked around and there was this very small counter with the sign "CHINWAGS" displayed right above it.. Whilst looking at the very extensive menu, a voice asked, Can I help you? Well, I ordered a Bacon Baguette and my friend had a Cumberland Sausage Baguette with a tin of Diet coke to wash it all down with. I can say, with hand on heart, I have never ever tasted such a lovely Bacon Baguette before. Total cost of: Bacon Baguette - Cumberland Sausage Baguette and a tin of Diet coke was £6.80. So, not only was the food above excellent, the prices were very good. I hope Chinwags will stay trading for many years, they certainly...
