About Roys Rolls
Roys Rolls is a cafe on Butcher Hill in Leeds, among the shops on Spen Lane. Sandwiches are made directly in front of customers, with orders like the steak and gravy sandwich and bacon, egg, spam and tomato sandwiches alongside sausage and egg or breakfast versions. Beans on toast and other home-made items round out the counter, and free-range eggs go into the cooking. A small table and chairs inside give a few spots to sit and eat on the premises. Service runs on a walk-in basis, and card payment is accepted. The cafe keeps daytime hours Monday to Saturday and closes on Sundays.

Customer Review Summary
Breakfast sandwiches are the draw, with reviewers repeatedly pointing to bacon and sausage, sausage and egg, and a breakfast in a bap made with free-range eggs. Several watch the sandwich being cooked in front of them and call it quick, fresh and tasty. Close behind is value, as most describe the food as cheap or affordable and homely. Others single out a steak and gravy sandwich, beans on toast, and a bacon, egg, spam and tomato combination. The owner and the women behind the counter come across as friendly and chatty. The inside is basic, with one small table and chairs, and one reviewer says not to let the decor put them off. Complaints are few but specific. One reviewer lost patience when an employee smoking in the doorway led them to cancel an order for six breakfast sandwiches and go to a nearby competitor. Another found the prices too high to try anything. One local of twenty years calls it a standard on days off.

“You've just this minute lost a order for 6 breakfast sandwiches. Why??........ The lady (employee/owner/who cares/) smoking fags in your doorway is negatively impacting your business. I turned around and went to your competitor nearby at Woodside Sandwiches”
