My Mrs sent me over to get lunch as she’d seen them on social media.
When coming here context is key.
This is a very small, family run place. The shop is tiny it can barely fit 9 people standing comfortably, and with its sudden social media popularity you need to understand you will have to wait.
There’s one lady making the sandwiches and another prepping food and working the till, is there room on improvement to help maximise the business? Yes, but that doesn’t takeaway from the quality of the food.
We ordered 3 sandwiches, the Philly, the pork belly, brisket and the gammon sausage roll.
The Philly - My favourite, the meat fell apart, it had a wonderful kick of spice and the cheese sauce wrapped it all up inside tiger bread (Whoever thinks it’s the wrong bread you need to have a look in the mirror).
Pork belly - Crispy cracking and sweet apple sauce the only thing I think it needs is a little more sauce. What sauce I have no idea just a little of something in my opinion.
Brisket - This thing fell apart and with the coleslaw and crispy onions mmmmm it was good.
Sausage Roll - Simply brilliant.
The thing to remember with this place, because of it’s size and now popularity there is definite room for improvement and I do think it will naturally improve over time and people just need to be realistic before coming here, you’re not coming here for gourmet food you’re coming here for a homemade sandwich and a good one at that. Like any busy establishment you just need a little patience.
I was also served my sandwich by a little helper who was the grandson of the owner, little legend. It’s a small establishment that’s still trying to find its footing with the popularity it now has but it has so much character, care and quality for what it is.
5* will definitely be coming back, thanks ladies for a...
Read moreSaw this shop on tiktok and thought I’d try it - We got a pork belly sandwich, a jerk chicken sandwich and a sausage roll. The sausage roll was tasty, but the pork belly one was a bit sad and mushy with not really much substance. I thought it might have some crackling as it’s labelled ‘crispy bork belly’ on the menu but it didn’t. The jerk chicken sandwich was the same, the mash made it quite squishy and the jerk chicken didn’t really have any flavour so the sandwich was a bit tasteless. Maybe the other sandwiches on the menu are nice, this is just from my experience.
When I arrived there were 2 people in front of me, and the service is unbelievably slow so i ended up waiting around 30 mins to be served. The woman making the sandwiches does not wear gloves so she makes them with her bare hands which I did not really like, and her and her colleague were moaning about their other colleague who was working in the kitchen which made for a bit of an uncomfortable experience. Then the lady’s daughter came in and they had a chat which is fair enough but just made the service even longer.
I ended up spending just over £30 for 2 sandwiches and 2 sausage rolls which I think is very expensive for what it actually is. There are other sandwich shops in Sidcup and Bexley where you can get better sandwiches...
Read moreA cute family run sandwich shop! Stopped to get a sandwich on my way to work following all the hype on TikTok and I’m happy I did. The staff are friendly and clearly great at what they do. The meat counter looked unbelievable and it was the beef in my sandwich that made this place somewhere I’d return to. Can’t wait to try different meats!
I called up beforehand to check they were open and was informed meats come out at 10:00AM (incase you’re an early bird like me) got there bang on 10 on a Tuesday and there was only one person in front of me. My sandwich was £13.50 and I asked for The Big ‘M’- the beef was good. The sandwich was chunky- definitely a sharer or eat in halves through the day kinda sandwich, well worth the price. I’m not sure I would go out of my way to visit again (I live very far -in Southend) but I would definitely pass by if I was in my way to work as a treat!
All in all this place was definitely worth the visit and in my opinion the meats are what makes the...
