About Stopgap
Stopgap bakes its own cakes on site with a selection that changes daily, working from a small cafe, deli and sandwich shop on Beverley Road in Hull. Sandwiches are made to order at the counter, put together in front of you, with bacon cooked to the order given. Hot breakfast sandwiches run through the morning, among them bacon and sausage and egg, and home cooked hot dishes sit alongside the sandwich menu. Cheesecakes and pastries join the cakes on the counter. The set-up is built for takeaway rather than sitting down, so food is packed for eating at work, at home or elsewhere. No booking is taken and customers order as they arrive, though phone orders can be placed for pick-up. Trading runs Monday to Saturday during the daytime, with the shop closed on Sundays.

Customer Review Summary
Sandwiches are the draw, made fresh in front of customers and singled out repeatedly, with the breakfast versions leading the praise, one regular calling the sausage and egg sandwich the finest anywhere and another, a contractor who has tried a few, rating them the best in town. Close behind sit the home baked sweets, with the cake selection changing daily and the cheesecakes and pastries drawing their own mentions, alongside soft fresh breadcakes, jacket potatoes, burgers, meal deals and slush puppies. Several longtime regulars describe years of friendly service and low prices. The complaints are narrower but specific: one reviewer is exasperated that the phone goes unanswered even when the shop is empty, which frustrates pickup orders, and one describes a bacon sandwich handled with bare hands during preparation and rates the hygiene poorly, a concern another reviewer counters by saying they have checked the official score on several occasions. Some suggest ringing ahead, since popular dishes occasionally sell out. One reviewer notes the bacon is cooked to order.

“The food from here is always great. I love the breakfast and the dessert options. The prices are fantastic for what you receive.”
- David Eccles
“Best sandwiches in town, and ive visited a few being a contractor.”
- Rhae Azul
“Food is decent and prices good. They never answer the phone - like why have a number if you’re not gonna answer. You can be stood inside the shop and be the only customer there, and they are just stood waiting for your food to cook and they will still ignore the phone that takes two seconds to answer. Absolutely infuriating when your on a time crunch trying to order a pick up.”
- Reece Jennings
“Nobody beats them, my lord. Always the most mouth watering breakfast sandwiches at the most insanely affordable price. I came in today feeling a little rough (hangover, what can ya do!) and the service was both accommodating to that and delivered the greatest sausage and egg sandwich on Planet Earth - I can assure you that's somehow not hyperbole. Always the first place I run to before work on a morning!”
- Phil East
“Bought a bacon sandwich from here. The lady who made it put raw bacon on the grill with her bare hands then contaminated my bread by putting her fingers all over it when buttering it. 0/5 for food hygiene. More care needs to be taken in that respect. Also, didn't taste that good.”
