This is a busy little Centra in the heart of a residential area with a few local businesses nearby. Centra being Centra, it’s a bit more expensive than the big retail chains, as you’d expect. But it regularly has special offers and some of them are worth a trip in. It does a selection of hot food, the menu for which varies on a daily basis. I got the chicken curry over chips there recently and it was a really good portion for around £3. They also have a lot of prepacked sandwiches, made in store on a daily basis. You can also have your sandwich or baguette freshly made. When I last did this, the member of staff making my ham and cheese sandwich lifted a knife which had been sitting there which had clearly been used to cut a chicken tikka sandwich. As my sandwich was being made I looked around for evidence of other knives, thinking, «I suppose if she’s going to use that knife she’ll have to clean it» — I was wrong. You couldn’t miss the tikka sauce that was all over the knife, but she didn’t clean it. She cut my sandwich with it, leaving a trail of tikka across my sandwich. I don’t mind chicken tikka, but I didn’t want it in my sandwich. This might seem trivial but a) I didn’t want tikka on my sandwich, and b) what does that say about hygiene practices at that sandwich counter in general? I left without the sandwich. Maybe I should’ve gotten the chicken curry, or should I? UPDATE: this place is proving popular in the mornings when it does its 5 item fry for 99p. The quality isn’t great, but it’s only 99p. Get this though — a 5 item fry is 99p, but an 8 item fry is £1.99. Two 5 item frys for £1.98 or an 8 item fry for £1.99. Now that is stupid, but doesn’t surprise me as it’s Centra(years ago I saw a Centra in the city centre selling some type of pastry for 24p, or you could get 4 for £1 — idiotic).
