This is one of two Subway locations in Leigh town centre, it is by far the smaller and poorer of the two locations. It is owned/run by SKS Ventures Ltd. Unlike the other branch on Parsonage Way, this store follows the old Subway layout, the one benefit this store has over the other is it is slightly closer to the town centre including the bus station and shops, being located near Boots on Bradshawgate.
When I entered the store, I was told to wait with no explanation and I had to wait a couple of minutes to even be served, this made no sense as there were two staff members working, there was a man in a black shirt who I'm sure was a manager/supervisor but he seemed to make mistakes you'd associate with a trainee, not only making me wait (no one else was in the shop at the time) to the point I considered leaving but he also
- Despite telling him my order more than once, confirming it, he didn't seem to listen, I must have asked him to add tuna 3 or 4 times before he finally realised it, due to the combination of tuna, ham and cheese.
- He put my bread down on the counter with no sheet, this could have caused cross-contamination issues and just been unpleasant
- He messed up the first set of bread, by ripping it, he went into the back to replace it, again with no explanation... (due to the gluten free bread being frozen it is hard to break apart sometimes)
The store also wasn't clean, it just seemed dirty, with food around the edge of the containers, and the floor was a mess, which considering how quiet it was and the fact due to UK government legislation, people aren't dining in, making little sense.
When I did get my sub, it was fine, it was average, I've had better and I've had worse, it was the typical price I'd pay of £4.89 so that wasn't too bad.
2* - Poor Subway Store in terms of service and cleanliness, I probably would use the other branch in Leigh in the future, which is also open later, that store closes at 9 pm while this location on Bradshawgate closes rather early, at 5 pm. read more
