About Dolphins Sandwich
Dolphins Sandwich is a sandwich and pie shop in Burnley at 9 Oxford Rd, and it takes cash only, so customers should bring cash with them. Sandwiches and pies are the main trade. Breakfast barms and lunch buns are filled to order, with bacon, lettuce and onion with mayo as one combination. The pies are homemade, and cheese and onion is among the varieties. Homemade quiche and chocolate fudge cake sit alongside them for anyone after something beyond a filled bun. The shop also does outside catering, including sandwiches for parties.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the homemade pies, with the cheese and onion pie called "to die for" and a homemade cheese pie praised alongside the vanilla slices. Close behind are the baked goods and fillings: one regular orders the homemade choc fudge cake weekly and buys the quiche to freeze, while others describe a bacon, lettuce and onion barm with fresh bread and crisp lettuce, and a chicken tikka sandwich with filling made in house. Pies are described as packed with meat and veg rather than just gravy, and the staff are called friendly and efficient. One reviewer had sandwiches made for a 70th birthday and says every one was eaten. The recurring caveats are fewer but specific. One reviewer says the shop has changed hands, with higher prices, different staff and food not as good as before. Another received a spam and egg teacake where the spam was thin and burned like cardboard and the egg was overdone. Even so, several describe a regular habit of returning, including one who calls it the go to place when in Burnley.
