About The Sandwich Bar
On St Margaret's St in Canterbury, The Sandwich Bar is a sandwich shop working from a walk-in counter with no reservations taken. Baguettes are made to order and freshly baked, so a short wait for the bread to cook is part of ordering. The tomato, mozzarella and basil baguette is a recurring item on the menu, and sweet potato soup is offered alongside salad options for those wanting something other than bread. The menu accommodates a range of dietary requirements. It opens for daytime trade Monday to Saturday and stays closed on Sundays.
