Customer Review Summary
The complaints are specific. One reviewer says the baguettes have become much smaller recently, and another feels the chicken marinade needs more spice to come through in the baguette. A chilli con carne potato arrived without the cheese that was requested, and the reviewer found the potato low quality. Two reviewers report an upset stomach afterward, and one of them asks for staff to wear gloves when handling bread and food. By contrast, another reviewer calls the shop very clean, and the owner is praised for an honest, friendly service.

“My son bought me a tuna baguette from here today, I’ve had baguettes from lots of places but..This baguette was absolutely delicious! Had lots of tuna and salad and there was something different about the taste just AMAZING!! I will get a baguette from here from now on!! 👍 …”

“Great Cajun baguette, still going strong for well over a decade. The cheese salad baguette was nice too”

“This is a tiny place opposite the mosque that used to be the capitol cinema. It’s pretty similar to variety bites on alum rock road but not sure if there is a connection. I ordered the potato with chilli con carne which is £5. I asked for cheese and jalapeños and total bill came to £6. However, much to my chagrin, no cheese was put on it. The mince was nice but the potato seems low quality, the next morning I also had an upset stomach. I plan on trying the Mexican pasta and pasta bolognese next.”
