When I can’t decide where to go for lunch, I usually end up here to grab a meal deal. For £2 or £2.45 you can get a baguette, packed of crisps and a drink, which is a pretty good deal. They also go jacket potatoes, paninis, breakfasts and pasta. I tend to go in a little later in the day and the sandwiches will often be made up freshly as they’ve run out of the pre-made ones due to the lunch rush, but even these seem fresh. The range isn’t as big as some of the cheap baguette places but it’s still decent enough. Cheap and cheerful.

This is a breakfast review. I stumbled upon this place by mistake. I was just wondering around and found it, quite close to the best coffee shop in Brum,(Yorks Bakery Café on Colmore Row). Its nestled in amongst specialist whisky shops, the award winning Loki Wine, vintage clothes shops et al. I wasn’t sure if they did a Full English breakfast — but although it looks like a deli, they do indeed offer a Full English for £4.99(to include coffee or tea). The lady that served me was lovely, a warm smile when she took my order and when she served my coffee and breakfast. I ordered the breakfast, sat down and no more than 6 or 7 minutes later, a piping hot Full English was served, along with my coffee. The coffee was decent. The sausages were probably the cheapest I have eaten, but for the price point, I cant really argue. The bacon was pretty good, cooked perfectly. The fresh mushrooms were also cooked exactly to my liking. The breakfast also included a grilled tomato, beans as well as a perfectly cooked fried egg. And toast. 1 piece of toast. As a slight complaint, the sign on the window did say that the breakfast came with 2 pieces of toast, but do you know what, I will let them off. There was one HUGE complaint: The beans were contaminating the rest of the breakfast. We all know the rules — Beans separate! Overall, I was quite impressed. If they changed their sausages and served the beans separately, it would be a 5 star review.

This place is very popular with the people I work with. I was told that there jacket potatos are the best. They were right, their jacket potatoes are always very large and perfectly cooked. To be fair I’ve only ever had spicy american chicken with cheese jacket potatoes but its always good. The service is very good, I’m always quickly served and don’t wait long to get my food.
