Bread & Butties in Northenden may look like just a sandwich shop - but it's a really good sandwich shop.
Working out here in Sharston, my culinary choices for lunch when I can't be bothered preparing ahead are somewhat limited. Since my office discovered a) that this place existed and b) that it was actually good, we've ordered that frequently that the staff are starting to recognise us!
In terms of their offering, they have both breakfast and lunch options. My usual breakfast choice is a bacon and egg barm with brown sauce and 2 hash browns for extra carb factor. Now, I'm normally wary of bacon that wasn't cooked by me because places like these usually serve it up barely cooked and still wriggling. B&B serve it cooked sufficiently that the fat/rind is crisp but not so that the meat is brittle as heck.
Portion wise, the barms are a decent size but for those with a super-hearty appetite they also do a "Vienna" option. Think foot long sub size, but wider - though this option only results in you getting more bread, you don't get any more filling.
The lunch options are solid too. My most recent lunch order was the spicy Mediterranean beef on a barm. Whilst I couldn't pick out why it was "Mediterranean", it was more like sweet chilli beef, the actual barm was - and I'm not exaggerating here - the size of my face.
Most stuff comes in under £4-5 for a more than adequate amount of food - I've yet to walk away from a Bread & Butties order feeling hungry.
If you're in the area, and need lunch, this place is a much better shout than Greggs or Subway at the nearby BP because you'll get a LOT more for your £.
