About Barrowford Catering

Barrowford Catering is a sandwich shop on King Edward Terrace in Nelson, open for walk-in orders on weekday daytimes. The counter covers a broad range of sandwiches and jacket potatoes alongside chicken and beef burgers, with pies from Clayton Park and sausages sourced from Kennedy's. Drinks include diet and zero Pepsi and Coke, Monster energy drinks, flavoured spring water, and Sun Magic orange or apple juice, and Seabrook crisps sit alongside individual breakfast items and weekly specials. Rock cakes are baked but sell out most days, so they need to be bought before lunchtime. The business also takes catering orders for other businesses, and delivery runs on orders placed nearby. It closes on Saturdays and Sundays. Orders over £10 qualify for free delivery.

Customer Review Summary

Reviewers most often praise the catering and delivery, describing a large meeting order for 20 people handled at short notice, with allergies kept separate, plenty of food and a spread of sandwiches, pastries, pies and cakes that arrived on time. Close behind is the everyday food: fresh sandwiches, jacket potatoes, burgers and breakfast items, served hot in generous portions at prices several call good value. Reviewers also mention the rock cakes, which one calls the best around and says sell out fast, so they suggest going before lunchtime. A jam slice and cheeseburger meal also get a mention, along with friendly, polite staff, quick service and a clean shop. The main complaint comes from a long-time sandwich customer whose large ham salad had brown lettuce, yellow mayonnaise, two slices of tomato, thinly sliced cucumber and a single slice of ham, though they say most past sandwiches were decent. Delivery is described as prompt, with one reviewer noting free delivery on larger orders, and one reviewer says the team never lets them down.

    “Barrowford Catering provided an exceptional service for a large meeting we hosted, even with very little notice. I outlined a couple of allergies and dietary requirements to which they handled everything with real care, clearly separating items and ensuring there was no risk of cross‑contamination. The pricing was extremely reasonable per head and the amount of food we received far exceeded expectations. Although we ordered for 20 people, the spread could easily have fed more. The selection was fantastic; a generous variety of sandwiches, pastries, pies and cakes, all fresh and thoroughly enjoyed. Not a single complaint from anyone in attendance. As we’re based in Nelson, Barrowford catering were also able to deliver directly to us, arriving right on time and making the whole process completely stress free. Overall, Barrowford Catering were reliable, accommodating and excellent value for money. We’ll absolutely be using them again for future events.”

    “Lovely little shop with brilliant staff and delicious food made fresu. Placing the order was easy and quick. Broad variety of sandwiches, jacket potatoes, beverages and main menu items such as chicken and beef burgers. Very clean store. Pies are Clayton park and the sausages are sourced from Kennedy's. For drinks they have diet and zero Pepsi and Coke and they stock monsters for the energy drink fans. Water is mineral or flavoured spring water. Orange or apple juice from sun magic. Highly recommend checking it out on breaks or for catering needs. They take orders for businesses too.”
