Greedy Guts

Having been a massive fan of Greedy Guts for many years I was sorely disappointed by my recent visit, Normally you are greeted by a team of smiling faces but the atmosphere this time was cold and unfriendly — where have the lovely girls gone? Not only this, the quality of the food was poor — the contents was cheap tasting, not what you expect from Greedy Guts. I make a special trip to visit my favourite sandwich shop — never again. RIP Greedy Guts :(

Greedy guts. It’s fun name for a sandwich shop, and the staff are fun too. We’ve caught them at the end of lunchtime trading, so they can’t make anything to order for us. I don’t mind as they have some packed sandwiches on the counter, and I’m famished. ‘Just these left’, the girl apologetically offers with a theatrical and animated grimace.
The chicken tikka sandwich I choose is gorgeous. Cold chicken in a sandwich can often be dry, but not here. It’s juicy and succulent, and the moist chutney helps it slip down. Upon talking to the girl I find out where the difference between Greedy Guts sandwiches and others may lie. Not only are all the sandwiches made on the premises fresh every day and sold that day, they also cook their own meat on site. They make their own coleslaw. They even poach their own salmon. As they also use local produce the sandwich is well worth the £3.20 I happily pay for it.

Greedy Guts is situated on the High Street in Knowle and offers a range of takeout food from jacket potatoes and panini to sandwiches and wraps.
There is usually a daily special, and you can choose your own fillings as your order is freshly prepared for you. I can recommend the chicken tikka wrap. To offset the benefits of having a choice and the freshness of your order, you need to be prepared to wait while your lunch is made. Having said that, I have never been in when it is really busy, and so have never waited more than a few minutes for my order.
Pick up your lunch here, and head down to the Ford at Barston for some quality picnicking.
Greedy Guts also offers outside catering for business functions etc.
