Quick info
About Brunel Sandwich Shop
Brunel Sandwich Shop is a sandwich shop at 211 Strand in London, where sandwiches are made to order in front of you and paninis are pressed on the spot. Orders are placed at the counter from a set menu on a board covering sandwiches, paninis, baps and rolls, and customers can choose a ready-made recipe or create their own. Sandwiches are built on ciabatta, and one combination pairs Parma ham with pesto, mozzarella and sun dried tomatoes. Several vegetarian options sit on the menu, and coffee and cannoli are on offer alongside. The shop also caters for meetings, parties and other events, from platters of sandwiches to full hot or cold buffets tailored to the order. It opens Monday to Friday during the daytime and is closed on Saturdays and Sundays.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often come for the fresh, made-to-order panini and sandwiches, with the mozzarella, sun dried tomato and pesto combination named repeatedly, including a version with Parma ham. Close behind is the ciabatta, praised for a crisp outside and soft inside, along with a chicken club with bacon, shredded chicken and avocado, and ham and cheese on ciabatta. Diners describe sandwiches made in front of them, a wide board menu, the option to build their own, and several vegetarian choices. Coffee and a cannoli also earn mentions. Many call the prices cheap and the service quick and friendly, even when there is a queue, and one regular contrasts it with the high street chains. The one sharp complaint comes from a single reviewer who found the chicken old and squishy and the bread like fast food bread, so the sandwich went uneaten. Several others describe a lovely owner and counter staff, and one notes a short chat with the lady making a huge sandwich.

“Great sandwiches made in front of you. Huge. Had a short chat with the lady. Flanked by two Pret A Manger’s but ignore them and get your sandwich from Brunel.”

“I have been going here on and off for years. A small team dedicated to making the perfect sandwich, panini, bap, roll, you name it. They have a wide set menu on a board, and they take orders. Quick friendly service at a fair price. It's a welcome change from the high street chains.”

“I come get lunch here regularly since it's by the office. It's cheap and cheerful. The owner is lovely, and the service is quick even when there's a queue. They have several different vegetarian options, so I don't have to eat the same thing all the time.”
- maria hilali
“Very poor food quality. The chicken is old and squishy. The bread tastes like Mac Donald’s bread. I couldn’t eat my sandwich. I highly recommend avoiding this place.”
