Paul Rothe & Son

Fantastic, affordable sandwich deli in the heart of London's financial district. There is little room for sitting, but when the food is this good, I don't mind. The hummus and sun dried tomato sandwich was to die for and even on a hot day, I opted for the soup of the day which was a cream of broccoli soup. Both tasted very well and satiated my appetite. I will definitely return to try the rest of their menu and eagerly anticipate what their soup of the day will be.

On a hump day (Wednesday) during our lunch break. My colleague came with this seafood sandwich. I asked him where did you get that sandwich? He told me about this place. I was so intrigued I was dying to find out more about delicatessen sandwiches, which is a rare occurrence in London. Got tired of Subway so I wanted to eat something unique. Anyways, fast forward to Friday - walked inside this cute little vintage sandwich shop currently running by Paul and his son Stephen Rothe (as they’re 3rd-4th generation of this 123 year old establishment) I ordered the popular vegetarian option - Sundried Tomatoes, Swiss Emmental Cheese and Hummus. Tasted great way too delicious I was really impressed. Just the sandwich itself it’s £4. Massive bargain! Downside - They will charge you £0.50 for toasting the bread! Hilarious I know but it’s okay. The drinks on top of that will be around £8 quid. Which is not that bad pricing wise. But there’s no meal deal option. Limited halal options. Only the chicken is halal.

Cheap bread bought from a supermarket, overpriced sandwiches. You're better off doing a supermarket sandwich deal at least you get what you pay for with those... £17 for 2 sandwiches you expect a bit of substance. I ordered pastrami and a hot frankfurter, the franks were those cheap nasty £1 from a jar types and slathered with too much sauerkraut and I couldn't taste the pastrami on account of the amount of mustard in it all in all this place left a bad taste in my mouth(pun intended) and I won't be giving them a second chance...
