Welsh Pantry

I find the Welsh Pantry quite endearing. While deli’s become more and more fancy by the minute, and a humble sandwich becomes something on sourdough, served with damson coulis and on a bed of rocket — the Welsh Pantry is doggedly determined to be a place where a sandwich is something simple.
And the décor! If you could call it that — it is a long thin room stocked with what look like war time supplies. Some bags of crisps and some evaporated milk. Instead of magazines being left around to read you get a copy of the local Informer. High gloss this ain’t — but it does do cheap sandwiches.
I came in here the other day for a tuna melt. I was surprised to see that they now do panini’s! So they have made one concession to the fancy frou frou, but this is where it ends. I paid £2.10 for my tuna melt panini, at least £1.50 cheaper than up the road. That is why people come here; when you just want a cheese and ham sandwich you don’t want to pay through the roof for it.
