About Food For Thought
Food For Thought runs as a counter sandwich shop and burrito restaurant at Cameo House in Stockport, covering breakfast and lunch through the day. A sign in the shop offers free children's lunches to those in need, so families short of a midday meal can pick one up without arranging anything in advance. Jacket potatoes sit on the menu alongside the sandwiches, and vegetarian and vegan choices are available, including a vegetarian sandwich. Coffee is served too, with americano-style drinks among the options. There is no booking, customers simply order at the counter, and orders can be taken away to eat off site. The shop trades Monday to Saturday during the daytime and closes on Sundays. The owner works on site alongside the rest of the team.

Customer Review Summary
Sandwiches are what bring reviewers back, described as generously sized, freshly made and cheap, with one calling the vegetarian option the best of its kind they have had in a long time and suggesting even non-vegetarians order it. Close behind sit the jacket potatoes, praised alongside ham salad, chillies and curries, jumbo hot dogs and a meatball sandwich, all of it described as homemade and made with fresh produce. Several also treat the place as a coffee stop, ordering an affogato, an americano with crepes, a butter beer frappe or a thai salad. The friendliness of the owner and staff comes up in nearly every account, with visitors saying they are made to feel welcome and that the team goes out of its way. One reviewer urges support for independents like this over the big chains. Another was struck by a discreet sign offering free children's lunches to families in need, a detail a second reviewer mentions too.

“Lovely sandwich shop with a very friendly service, typical of the old british highstreet and sadly in decline. Keep shops like this in business bypass the big chains like subway & greggs”
