It represents true value for money and is much better than the university canteen and Subway. There are a number of sandwich fillings you can have and all sandwiches are made to order. Everything from a salad bap to a sausage and bacon sarnie. Price wise it's cheaper than competitors but the only down side is that it is take away only. It's only down the road from Hanley Park so if it's a nice day, venture there to enjoy a lunchtime snack.

This little bakery was jammed with all kinds of bread, pastries and cookies. I selected a sticky bun type of thing with raisins and currants as well as a chocolate chip cookie. Both were fantastic. If I could have eaten more, I would have ordered 1 of everything. It all looked very good. The service is excellent, with a bunch of ladies exuding classic English charm. Very pleasant and helpful.

Everything is made fresh every day, and every lunch time there is a queue out of the door. Service is pretty fast as it's over the high, goody-filled counter, but it's always polite. The BLT sandwiches are salty and full of awesome, the fresh cream cakes are hard to resist, and the custard slices are cut far more neatly than mine at home. I'm not particularly fond of the chocolate numbers myself, if I'm tempted, I go for the rhubarb and cherry slices (super moist), and things like the Belgian buns are pretty snazzy too. A couple of things worth noting are- They have a slicing machine- so if there's any loaves you want, but are only capable of cutting diagonal doorsteps at home, they can deal with it. If you want a hot sausage or bacon sandwich for example, you're possibly going to have a little wait as they like to cook things fresh. If you ring in advance, you can avoid standing in the corner by the fridge of drinks for a short while.

A popular choice. Wonderful sandwiches, freshly prepared. And home-made cakes!…read moreCoffee is also superb:- you get a proper cappucino; not too much milk!

As an eat in place, you can get anything you want in any kind of bread for a pretty fair price. They have three boards of sandwich suggestions, but if that isn't enough, you can devise your own. Always take my Mum and Dad there - they have a great time deciding what to have - breakfast baps are incredible and very good value. Coffee is big and strong. They have a loyalty card which allows a free one after about nine cups - a nice touch, and obviously competing with Nero down the road. The deli counter has a nice selection of food, some unusual stuff - but I do think you pay for it. The olives in particular seem to be very expensive, and I don't really feel they are any more special than from the right supermarket.

The best sandwich shop I've found so far in Sheffield, and since starting my new job in…read moreChesterfield I'm realising what a commodity a good sarnie shop near where you work is!! As someone who visited nearly every weekday for 4 years I think I'm well placed to review, and thought since I knew it so well I'd make it my first review on here. Nigel, the owner of C Thomas, offers a wide selection of classic sandwiches, salads, baked potatoes, etc, and a good variety of freshly cooked bread for your butties, pies, buns, as well as the obligatory drinks, crisps and chocolates. All the bread is freshly made each morning, and it seems like all the ingredients used are of great quality for a sandwich shop. My personal favourite sandwich is definitely the hot bacon, egg and sausage - a true, simple classic, cooked well and with great tasting ingredients. I'm also a sucker for his baked potatoes with cheese & beans, another English classic! Hot sandwiches include all the usual 'breakfast' ingredients (bacon, sausage, tomato, egg, etc), as well as Nigel's famous hot pork and hot turkey, with all the trimmings. Cold sandwich ingredients include beef, pork, turkey & ham; tuna, sweetcorn, cheese, egg mayo, corned beef & potted meat; prawns & crab sticks; and real treats chicken tikka and dripping. All can come with salady, on either a standard breadcake, french stick or large breadcake - fondly referred to by their customers as 'bin lids'! I would definitely recommend C Thomas, or "Nigels" as we all know it. The food is great, but the huge plus is the banter in the shop - Nigel is blessed with true Yorkshire sarcasm, and the banter between him, the ladies who work for him and his customers really does brighten up a dull work day. You know you're a regular when you start to get picked on! The only 'downside' I can think of are that the front of the shop doesn't look massively appealing right now, but look out for the white sign with 'C THOMAS' in red letters. It's on a corner, with parking up the road to the side, off Staniforth Road.

Scarthin Books is a fine second-hand book shop in a lovely little village called Cromford, about…read morethirty miles outside of Manchester. The peak district is a great place for a long walk through the hills and little villages, and Cromford may be one of the places you can arrange to visit. Scarthin Books would make a lovely addition to any country visiting experience. Situated in a crowded, thin building with rickety stairs and five floors, Scarthin Books is an amorphous pile of literature which would feel like a building from a Kafka novel, only where there it is misery, here is it joy. The literature ranges from Greek Drama, to railway manuals, to modern day novels, travel books, philosophy, history, geography, psychology and childrens books. They really do have everything. Its organization is a mystery to me, but it all contributes to the quaint feel of this unique bookshop. Scarthin Books is famous amongst the locals as the best place to buy literature in the area. Also, on the third floor (I think, its pretty confusing in there!) is a quaint little tea and coffee shop selling homemade cakes and homemade soups. Staff are, as you would expect, delightful. My only criticism would be that a lot of the books are not second-hand but brand new. This means that they are full price and in many cases, more expensive than Amazon if not Waterstones. Even so, the range here is unbelievable. For any book lover this place is a really excellent book shop, and as an English Literature postgraduate I have a lot of experience of book shops. I really think that this is one of the better bookshops in the UK, and certainly it's the best (or second best, see The Art of Tea on Yelp) that I've seen anywhere near Manchester.

There is a pond in the middle of the village and beside it, just up the street behind the pub, is Scathin Books. There is a sign outside that says "We value old books" which is certainly true. Step inside and you can hardly move for old books, floor to ceiling in every nook and cranny there are books everywhere. Even the cash desk seems to be hidden behind a barricade of books. If you can find it a stairwell leads upstairs to more books and, hidden behind a bookcase door, a lovely vegetarian cafe serving cakes, light snacks and a very nice cup of coffee. There is an abundance of coffee and tea shops around here. It is a very picturesque village. But if you want something a bit different, and you too value old books, this is the place for you.
