I had an amazing roast beef and salad sandwich in town yesterday. So there I was, it's just gone one o'clock and as my James doesn't check his phone, I'm all alone and at a loss as to where to go to eat. I considered Subway as I always have my kindle and wanted to sit in somewhere but the darn place is always so full. I was on my way to a different sandwich shop when I passed The Sandwich Division. It was an irregularly sunny day and I thought hmmmmmmmm.....why not? And I'm very glad I did. There was a great big chalkboard behind the counter which was clear and the choices/pricing was easy to follow. There was a choice of bread and when I asked for the roast beef he asked if I wanted it pink. Which, let's face it, is always going to be a great big YES! I asked for salad and when I looked at the choices under the counter it wasn't just same old lettuce cucumber and tomato. There was grated carrot, sweetcorn, beetroot and a host of other healthy optional extras. There was also plenty of additional sauces.
I ended up being one of those people who sit eating lunch on the steps of the city hall. With my trusty kindle and a bottle of water I was all set. The bread cake was soft and doughy and the beef was pink (as requested) and juicy. The iceberg lettuce was a bit on the yellow side but still crunchy and the rest of the salad perfectly complimented the meat. All the vegetables were tender and crisp. They were also dry enough so they didn't make the sandwich all soggy. I was pleasantly surprised by my sandwich and I would definitely go back again! So often sandwich shops are over the top these days, trying to be gourmet, it was a breath of fresh air to find somewhere that is simple and honest and happy to have basics like potted meat on the menu. They also sell salad boxes, individual fruit, fruit salad boxes, crisps, soft drinks and a very tempting range of delicious looking baked treats.
