Dene's Deli

There are many sandwich shops using factory produced fillings, arranged in plastic trays, looking just like every other sandwich shop in the country. Dene's isn't one of them. Though I've never actually been into the shop itself (because I take part in a mass order into the office every single day) I can only imagine it of a hive of activity.

The range of fillings is massive. Every one is a hand picked mix, and as well as all the regular stuff (BLT's, chicken etc etc) there are some complete stars in there. I love Houmous, Jarlsberg & Organic Sundried Tomato Paste, Chicken & Sri Lankan Lime Pickle & Jalapenos and the surprisingly tasty Vegetarian Paté & Coleslaw.

Their massive combo sandwiches are great too. Who couldn't love the names Reggie the Veggie (Vegetarian Paté, Aubergine, Coleslaw) and Buzzard’s Breath (Polish Sausage, Egg Mayonnaise, Garlic Mayonnaise, Chilli).

The bread range is good (mini stotties* in wholemeal, white, granary, sunflower wholemeal, ryeknot, tortilla wrap, pitta bread, poppyseed knot, sliced bread , italian ciabatta, or white or brown mixed seed plait) never mind the bagels or gluten free bread. It's always fresh and fluffy, and the healthier ones with bits and seeds in are super tasty.

If you work in the city, why not get an order sheet together an phone it thorugh. For 3 quid, you can't do much better.

*A stottie is a big bread bun from the North East you funny Southern folk.
