Quick info
About Munchies
Munchies is a sandwich shop in South Shields, at 254 Sunderland Rd, and trades as Munchies at The Nook. The owner delivers and presents catering buffets in person for events, so the person behind the counter is also the person who sets up the spread. On the menu, Balti pies sit alongside the hot pastries, and a big breakfast covers the morning side. Sprinkle cakes are available for something sweet, and hot and cold drinks are served to go with any order. Sandwiches come both hot and cold, and the kitchen also puts out lunchtime specials each day. Further catering details are posted on the shop's Facebook page.

Customer Review Summary
Breakfast is the main draw, with reviewers singling out the bacon and egg sandwich, eggs they call spot-on in the breakfast sandwiches, and a big breakfast praised for high grade sausages and bacon. Close behind are the lunch sandwiches, including a ham and cheese with thickly sliced ham and a chicken salad with plenty of fresh salad, while balti pies and sprinkle cakes get mentioned as favourites. Several describe the staff as friendly and fast. Catering earns separate praise, with reviewers describing buffets delivered on time, fresh, well presented and generous in variety, for a gathering at home and an engagement party. One reviewer had a very different big breakfast: hash browns raw and still frozen, bacon full of fat and gristle and burnt on one side, sausages burnt but cold, and only a teaspoon of beans and tomatoes, which left them judging the portions poor value. Another reviewer's ham sandwich came in a white bun with a good ratio of meat to filling.

“I used Michelle’s Buffets for my event and couldn’t have been more pleased. The food arrived on time, which made everything so stress-free, and it was presented beautifully — it looked just as good as it tasted! Everything was fresh, delicious, and went down so well with the guests. We had so many compliments on the quality and variety. Communication from Michelle was fab from start to finish — friendly, responsive, and really helpful throughout the planning process. Would absolutely recommend and would happily use again. Thank you so much!”
