Sandwich research

Ciabatta or Foccachia with Chicken Tikka, Lettuce and Cucumber - £2

Occasionally have Tuna and Cucumber, or they do a daily special which can be quite good (£2 as well). I don't buy hot drinks as i have tea making facilities at my office but i prefer to drink some form of soft juice with my lunch. This is a little local sandwhich shop btw :)

The shops fairly well known in the area for it's good lunches and the whole Ciabatta/Foccachia angle goes down well and their daily specials are normally popular (Varies from Lasagne, Spicy Sausage Pasta, Meatballs, Curry)

at a local newsagents i sometimes i go up and get a baguette with chicken mayo and cheese on, i get some water with it and some crisps to put on it. Comes to £1.60
 
If I forget to make lunch (more likely, I sleep in and don't have time) then I am forced to pay £1.40 for a damp BLT fron our canteen machine. The price on the label is actually £2.19 so I assume TNT subsidise the cost.

Yup, but not allowed to advertise. Research is serious though and the reward is still up for grabs.

Try to look at the business model for "Darwin's"

They used to have guys come round on delivery bikes to offices I've worked in in Canary Wharf, Cannon Street and Liverpool Street.

I say look at the model, as it works well, although some of their sandwiches are just too bland. They also do pastas, fruit, salads, fruit salads, and cold chinese and indian dishes in tubs to microwave - also they bring fizzy drinks, crisps and sweets at slightly higher than a corner shop - delivered so you can't grumble
 
Milligans, Sausage and mushroom with bottle of whole milk, about £2.70.

OR

XL Double bacon cheeseburger meal with a portion of chicken bites £6.10, but its not really a sandwich
 
I work in central London, and most places are pretty ripoff for prices. However the quality is generally pretty high, as these places cater to city workers too.

Generally if I go out for lunch, I go to a sandwich bar round the corner and get a lovely fresh fried egg + bacon sarnie for £1.75. But they also have tasty toasted sesame ciabatta things for about I ocassionally buy one of their posh toasted ciabatta things for about £4 though :eek: Generally I would buy a drink , e.g. orange juice (between about 80p and £1.20) and that's it.

If the sandwich is fresh, nice ingredients and tasty, I would go up to about £3.50 for it.
 
If i buy any its normally from sainsburys/tesco - i dont like spending more than £2 tops on something that costs 25p to make!
 
Local Sandwiche shop down the road run by a small phillipino woman.


2 x Crusty White rolls with coronation chicken - £3.00
 
Just wanted to say thank you for all the info - it's been really useful.

One a couple more questions for you all. If you could order by email and then pick up your order at a specified time, would this encourage you to use the service? Or would you pay a little extra to email your order and get it delivered to your workplace?

Thank you for the ideas, but this is actually going to be a deli primarily, but we're considering sandwiches / take away stuff too.
 
Theres a Greggs on our business park that we often venture too, so £1.50 ish for a sandwich then say £80p for a drink and maybe 50p for a pack of crisps. Really annoys me the way they only sell "Big eat" packs of Walkers mind :mad:

When I worked in Leeds we sometimes phone in orders, I think the problem with emailing an order is you arent 100% its been received and can be made up on time. A call back to confirm when the items will be ready would be a good idea if you want to go the email route :)
