“Best little sandwich shop in town, highly recommend”

“I've been going to love at first bite for about 15 years, since the collage was opposite. I've only complained ONCE. Today I phoned to help out who I thought was my mate. I phoned to let him know the cheese is OFF. Jamie said the following "it did seem a bit pongy when I was grating it but it's fresh in today, then again I wouldn't know I don't like cheese" Right okay well give it to someone that loves cheese like me ... so that they can tell you is 100% OFF. I've got no offer of a free sandwich, no validation that he's going to do anything about the cheese being off.. apparently I'm the problem for complaining. 15 years of loyal custom flushed down the toilet. I threw the sandwich out and my car still stinks of it. I love a bit of mature cheddar but not this mature.”

- Dean Muir
“Had their chicken bacon and water cress filling in a soft roll, what an amazing flavour profile. I’ve never seen that combo before and it was amazing. Staff were super friendly, it gave me a great start to the day. Highly highly recommend.”

How this listing is sourced
- Where the data comes from
- Name, address, hours, contact details, amenities, ratings and review counts come from the business's publicly available profile data — not from the owner and not from paid submissions.
- How it stays current
- Every listing is re-checked on a recurring crawl, and anything reported as wrong is corrected at the source rather than patched on the page.
- How it is ranked
- Placement is never sold. Every business on the page is ordered and compared using the same public signals, so an owner cannot pay to move up.
