I also dragged my whole family along for a sandwich lunch. Dennis of Bexley is an award winning butchers and deli, that USED to be in the village and then it moved to Bexley Park where all the new town houses are. The prices definitely reflect the area. Between us, we decided to go for broke and just ordered pretty much half the deli bar. The hot BLT sandwich, the bacon was LOVELY, not too salty either. The roast beef baguette could've have a little more horseradish on, and the baked pastries-bacon and cheese/lamb samosa could've had a a bit more cheese and a bit more spice respectively. The hot steak and cheese baguette is just value for money, if you're going to go, i highly recommend that! We spent the lunch hour in the rather posh seating area enjoying our sandwiches. If only the sandwiches had a bit more finesse, a little bit more extra care in making them. It would be perfect. I'll definitely be back because it's so close to home and because it's such a cute little place. Clientele, from builders to soccer mums to office people. The amount of land rovers driving in and out to get lunch from this place was surprising. They're doing pretty well for a butchers even if everyone is just heading to the deli bar (I didn't see anyone actually buying the raw meat..)

Always good food from various meats, cheese, pies, ready made meals, etc. Friendly staff always.read more

With The Village Sandwich Bar you get to dictate what goes in the sandwich. There are plenty of main fillings on offer from basic ham/chicken to chicken tikka and aromatic duck. Salad and sauces are also on offer and you can have the sandwich just the way you like it. There is a bakery element to this shop too with a selection of freshly baked cakes and doughnuts to go with your lunch. The usual crisps and cold drinks are on sale too. Prices at The Village Sandwich Bar are also reasonable with the average filled bap/baguette costing around the £2.50 mark however this is value for money as my tikka roll was generously filled and was the perfect cure for my hunger. Various meal deals involving snacks and drinks are also available. The gentleman who served me was very polite and friendly and obviously valued my custom. I shall definitely be returning there soon.

Love that the locals come here everyday and know they can get the best sandwich or hot food from here!

This was my favorite lunch place when I was working in the area. It's a small space, almost…read moreexclusively takeaway, so it often looks like there's a long queue, but don't let that discourage you, as the staff are quick and efficient. They're also really nice and polite. Over the course of several visits, I tried the sirloin special, the coronation chicken, the chicken escalope, and the chicken/bacon/sweet corn sandwiches. I also tried the scotch eggs. My favorite was the coronation chicken, which I'd never had before (I don't think we have it in the States), but everything I tried was tasty and I'd be happy to have all of them again. The sandwiches are pretty reasonably priced at under £6, which is nice for an area where it's easy to spend the same amount on a cup of coffee and a muffin. I've always been in and out of the shop in just a few minutes, even when it's busy. Their prime lunch traffic seems to come around 12:30 and later; it was pretty empty the 1 time I went at 12. I've always been able to pay with my American bank card without any issues. Definitely recommend this place if you need lunch in the area! They also have breakfast, although I've never tried it.
