The Cob Shop

This place can get very busy at lunch times, but I think that is more likely to be due to the fact that there isn’t much much competition. The nearest other sandwich shop is at least another 7 – 10 min walk away. It’s well located and surrounded by other local businesses making it a popular choice for lunch. However, if you have the time, I would keep walking. The food is expensive and really nothing special. Bread is very thick and smothered in even thicker margarine. There isn’t much of a choice of fillings and the filling you do choose is very thinly laid in your sandwich.
I also wonder about the hygiene of the place. The place does look generally clean and the ladies behind the counter do try as they do wear gloves whilst making the sandwich. But when you are handing over the coins to pay for the sandwich, they accept your money with their glove covered hand to put in the till, then go on to make the next sandwich. I would have thought that wearing gloves is a bit pointless if you are going to use them for more than just handling food?
