"Easily the best sandwich shop in Oswestry, sometimes a queue but bear with it you will not be disappointed. The cakes are to die for and they even stock iced fingers!"

"Hidden gem, short walk from the main high street.
Friendly staff, and plenty of seating inside. Amazing selection at the deli, as well as having a great choice of food/desserts/drinks.
Definitely worth a visit."

"Lovely food and service and a really friendly and efficient team! When I ordered my panini I asked for this to be served with chips only, mainly because I do not like coleslaw and salad and hate to leave it and waste it. However I was then brought the panini only and a soon after a smaller portion of chips than other members of my party who had not asked for no coleslaw and salad. Quickly rectified thank you. Also, when I came to pay, there was confusion around what methods of payments were accepted - American Express is accepted on the machine but they do not want customers to use it, I infer."
