They do it so well i think they will be there another million years. Friendly couple in there told me some of the history of the place when i went in, but my eye were fixated on that spit roast spinning behind him. "I damn care about your history bro" i thought to myself, all i wanted that that perfect pork sandwich i know they can create. The place is cheap and the sandwiches are fat as hell. If your a veggie dint come here or it'll test your beliefs.

The shop is in located in the middle of a small ally way (don't worry it's not dangerous) so the shop and outdoor seating area is very small.

The woman didn't seem interested in her job and as they'd run out of change in the till she actually asked if it was OK for her to leave the rest of my change!! It would have been nice is she'd have gone and got some change and put a little smile on her face! However I came here for the food and found it's a nice place to go for lunch as the food looks and tastes good and is tucked away behind Touchwood shopping centre so it was not busy. I got crisps and a homemade sandwich. I found this a good place to eat whilst beating the lunch time rush.

They should rename this place Phat Sandwich because the sarnies are phat and they would probably get more ballers like me and my buds through the doors. Lost a star due to occasional long wait times but I do understand this. Also, five stars surely means perfection and I don't think anything can be truly perfect. Maybe I'm just cynical. Additionally I suppose this isn't the best platform for philosophical debate. Keep it real, Phat Sandwich!

The place is quite hidden away, and you might miss it if you're only walking up the Coleshill High Street. But if you park in Church Hill car park, you have to walk past L'Maiz to get to the main road. And it's definitely worth stopping by. Inside, you'll be immediately greeted by the Italian owner, who'll seat you in one of three tables. Yes, the cafe only has limited space, but I think this provides a great intimacy to the whole experience. Browsing at the menu, I was absolutely astonished by the wide range of food available. From hot roasts to toasties to breakfast to pasta, everything was freshly made by the owner himself. The pizzas (all of them!) particularly looked tempting, and I loved that you could get three size choices, and even just purchase once slice for £1 if you wanted! I did exactly this because I had eaten not long before. But if had I known how delicious the margarita was going to be beforehand, I'd have definitely bought a 9" (or maybe even a 14" for £9.50 if I was feeling particularly greedy). Next time I go in, I'm definitely trying the Hot Mexican Madness. It looks, sounds and smells amazing. Surprisingly for June, it was exceptionally cold outside; so I opted for a hot chocolate to accompany the pizza. The hot drink tasted exceptional, and beats any run-of-the-mill coffee shop version that I've tried in the past. No matter what time of the day, L'Maiz can cater for you. Personally, I must return for breakfast to sample the Full English (£3.50). It was also lovely to learn that the shop was named after the owner's daughter, which explained the homely, warm feel to the cafe.

They offer a variety of baguettes, sandwiches, jacket potatoes and more - much to my joy when I arrived, debilitated in a state of pathetic, mild hunger pang discomfort. So I ordered a beef, onions and horseradish in attempt to fill that discomfort inducing gap with some meaty, hearty sustenance. I was not disappointed - I received meat, a degree of heartiness and all contained in bread as they had advertised. It tasted nice, I was satiated and I could continue my day re-invigorated. So overall, I was a satisfied customer. If you're need of sustenance on the go in the form of a fat sandwich, then look no further than the company who goes by the name. They'll give you a no frills sandwich in any relatively hungry situation.

Wow! Where do I begin?! Frais is tucked away in Shirley and you could be forgiven for missing this…read moreplace altogether if you are just casually shopping down the main Shirley High Street.. But you really cannot afford to. I made a special visit long journey from my home. It looked that good from pictures online...I was not let down. Placed on a lovely square near Asda, the front of Frais is very welcoming with it's fully windowed front ensuring you are able to get a peek into what's in store for you. On my visit, it was a glorious Easter day and me and my friend were able to enjoy the cool breeze. Frais is primarily a juice bar with a huge amount on offer. Set into three categories, Juice mixes, Keep it simple and super juices there is something for any mood you might find yourself in. Along with the protein balls which are so full of goodness really gives Frais is identity. But that's not all.. they even provide "Bulletproof coffee" I won't tell you about that so you can get a little surprise when you visit but wow! Frais mention that they are gluten free but are very subtle about it and you wouldn't even notice certain wheaty items missing from the menu. However this was a massive pull for me being wheat intolerant. What I really liked about Frais was that it is very obviously health orientated. Even having a "healthy living club" and juicing evenings. I was really impressed with this as it's what makes Frais so different to everything else out there. Foods and drinks costs where something that both myself and friend were delighted with. But is not intrusive, patronising or preachy at all. I have been to many places who do all these things unfortunately and this was a refreshing change! The menu is limited which at the time I wasn't taken with. But after having my lunch of a delicious tofu salad, I understand why. Being able to focus on a few high quality meals is much more important and there is nothing wrong with that. Salads and wraps were on offer at a ridiculously low £2.25 bearing in the mind the huge amount of combinations and choice I could have had. Soups, Salads and Sandwiches are currently on the menu and also available for take away. A fantastic lunch choice I would think. I am looking forward to seeing how this expands in the future for a relatively new business. As you go in, to the left of the service counter, you can find lots of unusual and difficult to find staple gluten free products which I encourage you to have a peek at. They sell many different types of the wonderful Bob's red mill oats along with various pastas. I can't wait to visit again and go though the juice list!
