A takeaway only sandwich shop at the junction of Curtain Road and Great Eastern Street.
They do rather a lot more than simple sandwiches, also offering a wide range of wraps and salads as well as various hot food and a daily changing choice of both sandwiches and meals from the carvery.
Quality is generally very high and portion size is rather huge. This doesn't come cheap, with sandwiches often setting you back upwards of £4 (prices as of April 2007) and a roast costing between £4.50 and £6.50 depending on what size of portion you ask for.
They have daily specials, both in sandwiches/wraps and hot food. There is a board outside which is updated with the current specials menu.
Some of their wraps are quite impressive - Christmas Extravaganza Wrap
It gets very busy at lunchtimes, with the staff calling out for the throng of customers to raise their hands when the sandwich they are after is called out and then making them in batches. The center of the counter is where the carvery is located and it's easier (on yourself and the busy staff) to queue up there if you want non-sandwich hot food.
Comment added by Anonymous: This is the best place to eat lunch in London. The sandwiches are freshly made to order and massive. The ingredients are fresh and delicious. The special wraps they serve are amazing. With a choice of 3 or 4 each day they suit every taste and they are literally a gourmet meal within a tortilla wrap. For £5 they fill u up until dinner! They have to be tried. If u live/near Shoreditch u must eat here!!!!
