Had a sandwich from Brunches in Milton Keynes shopping centre for the first time in years today. I used to go there quite often (we're talking like 15 years ago) and I have to say it's not as good as I remembered it to be. I asked for garlic mayonnaise with my bacon and salad sandwich and the lady making the sandwich clearly didn't know which condiment pot the garlic mayo was in so she literally stuck her nose in the pot to check if it was garlic which was most off putting to say the least!
Also I ordered two sandwiches and I'm not sure if she had some kind of dementia but I had to repeat every single ingredient of both sandwiches, sometimes twice, and then when we got to the till she had to ask me what I had ordered!
The filling on the bacon sandwich was a bit sparse and the bacon wasn't as crisp as it should of been, the other sandwich however (crayfish) was packed to overflowing so perhaps I was just unlucky. The sandwich that I had was nice but nothing special, it just didn't have that premium quality feel that I always associated with Brunches.
On the plus side the prices are reasonable for freshly made sandwiches and they have an excellent selection of ingredients and breads which you can combine in any way you like so your sandwich is exactly as you want it. I'd recommend them if you just want a quick bite to eat and you're bored of Pret or ready made sandwiches. read more
