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.

    “Usually very pleased with this place, the French guy is absolutely lovely and the food is great! But God the lady is openly hostile and so rude that I may never come back. Happy to update the Rating as I truly believe this place doesn't deserve a one star, but please explain why she is customer facing if she can't handle that.”
