Subway are one of the largest fast food chains in the world with a whopping 44,818 stores in 112 countries, even more than Mcdonald's who only have 36,525 branches worldwide. Subway is a brand that needs no introduction because of this, so I will move onto my regular review.
This branch of Subway is one of two stores in the town center of Oldham, this one being a Kiosk in the Lower Mall of the Spindells shopping center, it often doesn't seem really busy and there is a limited amount of seating too, it is near enough located right in the center of the mall, so the views for people watching are okay, but it is Oldham so it isn't exactly the place you would go to people-watch.
It did seem quite quiet on my visit, and I originally thought they were closed before I was served by the supervisor, she seemed quite nice.
I ordered a Subway Melt on Hearty Italian bread, which sadly wasn't gluten free but I decided to try it anyway after being told to introduce a small amount of gluten back into my diet.
As I've not eaten at Subway since before my diagnosis, which probably is a good 4-5 years now, I was happy to finally try it again, I was pleased that most of the toppings tasted okay, and fresh as with the motto of Subway.
The food was presented quite well, and made quickly infront of me, as with any Subway, and it seemed to be a typical Subway in that regard.
Overall, this is quite a pretty average Subway, yet one of the better places to eat in Oldham for a sandwich, especially if you are in a rush and still want something decent quality, with food before previously at Rhode Island Coffee and Mcdonald's being inconsistent across multiple visits in terms of quality, the pricing was also quite reasonable at £3.50 for a 6" sub and a drink, or an extra £2 for a "footlong" despite the fact it is over 12" and as far as I'm aware for it to be officially a footlong it should be 14"
This Subway deserves a solid 3 stars, as it is basically average, perhaps slightly above that, some issues such as the lack of seating, atmosphere and issues with the Subcard registration, where you have to have a password with a character such as £ or ! and a capital and lower case letter, as well as only having one subcard and it didn't let me activate another on my account, and the whole system seemed a mess, however as this isn't down to this branch in particular, it doesn't play a big part in my rating of a three. read more
