Subway is a great alternative to other fast food cafes and appeals to a wide range of people. The basic idea is that you get someone else to make your ideal sandwich. You start by picking the size of the sandwich: they're all soft baguette style, so you go for 6-inch or foot long. I find the smaller one fills me up, but most guys I know go for the larger one and demolish it within minutes. Then you pick your bread style: the honey loaf is my favourite, but they're all delicious. There are various combinations of filling displayed on a board, and there really is a good variety, from cold meats to cheese, to the yummy Italian chicken, to meatballs! Yes, you really can get meatballs and melted cheese in a sandwich. Excellent. Once you've got the main filling sorted, you pick which salad items you'd like - you literally point at as many as you like and watch your sandwich being stuffed with them. This is followed by the sauces - a great relief for ketchup-lovers like myself. If you've picked something that can be heated, they'll blitz it in the microwave for a few seconds for you, so your cheese melts or your meat heats up. There are some really good meal deals, where it can sometimes cost something like 5p extra to get a drink. Sub of the Day is also worth looking out for - it's basically just one of the normal sandwiches which is on offer that day. A good way of sampling flavours you're not sure about. You can get crisps, drinks and cakes at the till, then either sit in to eat or take it away. I am slightly dubious about just how much healthier the sandwiches are than normal junk food, but it's certainly quick and easy and very tasty. read more
