"Really nice bubbly guy on the front serving . Really good quality. Ordered a chicken and salad sandwich. Proper chicken . Not that rubbish fake chicken that lots of sandwich places buy in .processed rubbish …. Salad was fresh as well . Not cheap , but good value for money due to quality. The shop is small so need to place order and wait outside, but happy to do so as you know it’s freshly made. Plus quick service. See you again soon. Parking can be tight or easy depending of time of the day you get there. Akways busy. Speaks volumes. Been going here for about 8 years and akways happy to go back"
