This was my favourite place to go for lunch back when I worked in Royal Exchange Square, as it was just round the corner so it was really handy, as well as being somewhere I knew I could get something good!
There are loads of different options, nothing massively different or fancy, but often at lunchtime all you want is something filling and yummy, which is definitely what you get here!
There are soups, sandwiches, hot and cold filled rolls (and I believe breakfast items as well?) plus toasties which all come with different fillings and you can pick whatever you want. They aren’t stingy with the fillings at all as well which is great! I also highly recommend the macaroni cheese because it’s DELICIOUS, you get a fair amount and it’s just what you need when the weather’s not the best and you still have to face an afternoon of work.
Everything’s really reasonably priced for what you get as well, especially when you compare it to some of the other places around there.
Due to said delicious food, the place is always packed at lunchtimes with hungry workers, and the queue often goes right out the door — not that inside is massive, mind you. However, I never ended up waiting very long as the staff always serve people really quickly, they’re very efficient!
There are also different snacky things you can grab like the usual packets of crisps, teacakes and other Tunnock’s stuff and also some very scrummy home baking — the caramel shortcake in particular is a delight.
It is takeaway only so I guess that could be a downside for some people if you’ve got nowhere to take your food back to, but they really couldn’t fit any tables in there!
