All the sandwiches that have been ready made that morning in various selections of soft fresh bread have an original slant on the favorites listed in most sandwich bars, you can also place an order to have one made up by the ladies out back who know the many well stocked fridges like the back of their hands, all the meats are cut fresh too! It is the one stop working lunch bar where you can also find multiple choices for drinks and crisps... so much so that they would put Tesco to shame! They also do a mean breakfast barm!

You can end…read moreup spending a lot of money here as they do breakfasts, homemade snacks such as bakewells and flapjacks and awesome lunches. They are a bit behind the times with their handwritten menus on paper and not tweeting their soup of the day but the food more than makes up for it. They pretty much do everything that a sandwich shop would sell such as fruit, chocolate, milk, sandwiches, salad, jacket potatoes and other hot food. Everyday they have a different soup and a hot and cold food option which is different to the main menu. They are generally extremely busy and it isn't unusual to see the shop packed. Therefore do ring beforehand but not during lunch as they won't answer the phone! The reason why people flock here is the Shark Special. It has chicken, mushrooms, onions with a spicy mayonnaise on a toasted hoagie. It has to be tried! If you are on the tram, stop off at Brooklands and grab a shark special (named after the rugby club which used to train nearby).

Oh how wrong you are... If you are one of the many frequent users of Sale Metro station right next door, or are waiting for a bus while watching a jawdroppingly gorgeous commuter walk past... you should pop in and get your lunch or any other snack-time need dealt with here! The large selection of sandwich fillings are made fresh by the devoted staff daily and will be built into the butty of your dreams in two shakes of a lambs tale. The service and butty's like your mother makes are definitely not devoid of taste! As you become totally enamoured while munching on your purchase, you can even ignore the bad grammar in its name above the door.... but who am I to notice something like that when you find a butty you can always trust in!

From their small unit, Tender Cow offer up some really tasty dishes; their tenderloin (£10) with triple-cooked chips (£3.50) being a personal favourite of mine. It comes medium rare, but if you wanted it cooked for longer just ask. Place your order at the counter and they'll bring it over to your table when it's ready. I've already spied what I want from them next time - Steak Benedict with bread from Trove in Levenshulme! So if the waiting time for an Honest Crust pizza is too long to bear, these guys are definitely the next best thing. Their ever-changing menu also includes some non-meat options, so you don't have to be a modern-day caveman to enjoy their food.

The first weekend I was in England we went to Alty market for the afternoon. I loved the food…read morechoices in the market, and was really in the mood for some MEAT. I know from many trips to England, that the meat there normally isn't very good. This description of the steak sandwich made my mouth water, so I decided to give it a try. I got a side of chips with it as well. I sat at the table awaiting my meal to be delivered and when it was upon the first bite I knew I made the right choice. It was delicious. The best steak I have ever had in England was from a market stall? Crazy, but true. It was so good I could not return home without having it again. The chips were also very good as well. I highly recommend the tender cow!!!

We were travelling and tasty good food is a delight especially while moving through airports as there's no pleasure to be had travelling by plane any more. The range and choice of both hot and cold food here was impressive and late in the evening too, just post Christmas. The sandwiches and hot food are prepared in store throughout the day. Funny enough I didn't see any turkey on offer. I toyed with buying the hoisin duck wrap (a favourite of my wife's) then my mood drifted toward sliced salmon that looked so good but in the end it was the most simple sandwich choice of egg & onion on good brown bread. It was a generously filled, fresh, and satisfying sandwich and it's not often egg & onion is available these days. My other favourite sandwich filling has almost disappeared completely - prawn mayonnaise with lemon on shredded lettuce - so I make it at home now. Pret do make a crayfish sandwich but this wasn't available. So I took away - one duck wrap, one egg and onion, a coke light and a delicious flat white £11.83. We could have sat in as it's warm, cosy and a great ambiance. As I chatted with my server it turned out he paid more tax last year that Mr Trump which wouldn't be hard. We agreed he's just an alter noyef and a schmuck. Regrettably there are still no Pret stores in NI high streets. If there was I'd sign up to their £25 a month deal in a heartbeat.

The slow but sure exploration of Sale continued with Parisian one lunchtime…read more At first I wasn't sure if it had been there for years or had just literally opened for business, as there was a fair bit of empty shelving, but it turns out it was the former and I'd probably just arrived at the tail end of the lunchtime rush. The couple who own it were welcoming, and French, so I had a feeling that food quality was not going to be an issue. They have a decent range of sandwich options (all made from scratch) so I opted for the 'Parisian Ham Special' to take away which was less than £4 if memory serves - and it was very tasty indeed. Loads of ham and salad with just enough mustard mayo to add to the flavour; the baguette was warm and fresh. I also spied a counter of unusual desserty-type things but resisted temptation. This time. On more pleasant days they have seating out front (though they face on to the busy Northenden Road so it's not exactly peaceful, but good for watching the world go by).

They have a good selection of sandwiches, the Greek is particularly good with a delicious mix of olives, feta, tomatoes, mint and cucumber. I would also recommend the salmon deluxe but to be honest you wouldn't be disappointed with anything you ordered. Parisian also do outside catering and we have used them at my work several times and have been impressed with the level of service and quality offered. The Danish pastries and croissants are very good too, if you fancy a spot of breakfast on the way to work. I had to shout out about Parisian as I think it is important to support local and friendly independents businesses.
