Quick info
About Bankside Sandwich Bar
On 142A Southwark St, Bankside Sandwich Bar is a sandwich shop where the counter makes each order to a customer's spec on ciabatta or buns. The range covers a chicken bap, Cajun chicken sandwich, Chicken Escalope, jerk chicken wrap, and Caribbean wrap, alongside breakfast sandwiches such as sausage, fried egg and cheese, or a bacon toastie. Bap and brown bread toast are offered as bread choices, and hot coffee runs alongside the food. The shop is small, with no indoor seating and only a few outdoor table spots, so most trade is on foot. It operates as a walk-in, and lunchtime brings a queue that moves quickly.

Customer Review Summary
Chicken is what reviewers return to most, from a Cajun chicken sandwich described as tender, juicy and covered in cheese to a flame grilled chicken sandwich, a chicken bap, a chicken escalope rated 10/10, and jerk chicken and Caribbean wraps called huge and delicious. Close behind are the breakfast sandwiches, including a buttery bacon toastie with a hot coffee and a sausage, fried egg and cheese roll, with one reviewer singling out crispy bacon. Several say the food seems homemade and made to order, with plenty of choice including ciabatta, buns and brown bread. Staff behind the counter are repeatedly called friendly and kind. The main trade-off is space. The shop is tiny, lunchtime queues form (though reviewers say the line moves fast), and there is no indoor seating, only a few tables outside, so one reviewer advises being prepared to take food to go in rain or cold. One notes the microwave is sometimes used to heat food, though it still seems homemade. A daughter who wanted a breakfast sandwich specifically from here declared she couldn't replicate it at home.

“Can't do better for a quick and delicious breakfast sandwich in Southbank. Quickly prepared and delicious by friendly, down-to-earth team behind the counter. Be aware there is no indoor seating, so while there are a few tables outside be prepared to take your sandwich to go if its raining or cold.”

“Such a cute, locally run sandwich bar. The service is very efficient, lots of choices and very fresh produce. Can't wait to try the different options but the Chicken Escalope was 10/10. Thank you so much!”

“Lovely little find. They make sandwiches to order and they were faultless. Special mention that the bacon was crispy. We will certainly be coming back. Thank you.”

“I had a delicious, generous, buttery bacon toastie to kick-off the day, with a good hot coffee. Plenty to choose from on the menu. In and out quickly. Seating outside. Popular local spot. Will nip in again when I'm in the area and need a quick bite.”
