Birley Sandwiches

I’ve wandered perplexed, in the hope of finding a rival, but none be forthcoming. It is just simply the case, that when it comes to the business of producing sandwiches, this chain reigns unchallenged. The roast turkey sandwich (large), will leave you wanting for naught. Opting for the brown bread, as is my prerogative, poultry carved fresh and stacked high. Stuffing in a supporting role, but not for lack of impact. Rocket? Cometh the question. Yes, invariably the answer, at least in this camp. The house wisely recommends port and cranberry sauce, but has the largesse to offer alternatives. You’ve trusted them thus far, I would suggest you defer to their better knowledge. For my part, additional mayo has always been a safeguard to counteract the risk of dry Turkey, a curse that can befall even the most capable of handlers. Though, let it be known, when it comes to Birley’s handiwork, this measure has always proved an over insurance. The devil is in the detail and the final query pays homage to this - ‘salt and pepper?’ Only a lunatic declines. Try and put into words the joy this sandwich will bring. No Sir... I won’t. There lies folly. I would only compel you to join me as part of the knowing few, through first hand experience. Regards.

The sandwiches/melts and salads in the place are awesome. More expensive than certain places but you do get a damm good sandwich! One thing is ordering can be a bit intimidating cause there is no clear way to distinguish the different queues. It's quite confusing but when you figure it out it's fine.

The original great sandwich place for me. I've been countless times to the Moorgate shop and this store is just as good. They use exceptional quality bread and the filling is made of excellent ingredients. They have both hot and cold sandwiches. Their soups are also not to be underestimated and are of high order. Well worth paying the extra bit for good lunch food.
