    Sandro’s Sandwich Bar

    Another week another average caff near Paddington, Sandro’s Sandwich Bar, though at least this week I had a cold so I could spread it around as per corporate culture 2019…or corporate culture 2024.

    But as long as the data knows I’m in the office, that’s what matters.

    Sandro’s Sandwich Bar is highly rated on Google but I’m not sure why. There was a friendly welcome, and I paid just £6.80 for my toasted panini sandwich which is definitely reasonable…and they didn’t charge me for the privilege of sitting down. Bonus!

    And another bonus…free vibrations from the tube line underneath…hmmm vibrations.

    Yet otherwise it was just fine. Pleasant crispy chicken, some mozzarella, thin slices of manufactured chorizo and I think a tiny bit of spinach.

    It’s ok. It’s affordable too. But don’t expect to be overjoyed.

    Rating of 6.5. Could be one to try for a fried breakfast on a hangover perhaps.

    They made me go back to the office. Aaaargh. But I made them go for lunch at Mihbaj a ha ha ha.

    Starting my hopefully very occasional story of lunch spots around Paddington with a trip to @mihbaj which is a super cute Palestinian cafe on Pread Street.

    No I didn’t choose to go to a Palestinian café because I’m woke and wanted to make a political point. I went because the food looked tasty. Don’t worry GB News fans, I might go to KFC next.

    Confirm the chicken salad was as good as it looked, slightly spiced chicken, creamy avocado with lettuce, tomato and a dried pitta…. cannot say I’m fussed about dried pitta though.

    Carrot, apple and orange juice was delightful too. No booze on offer…fine by me.

    10 other colleagues were forced to join me but not one photographed their food. It’s 21st century…why you not photographing every meal? Most were happy though the food took a while to arrive…hence maybe not the spot for large groups on a tight 1 hour lunchtime turnaround.

    Service helpful, plenty of options on the menu, some wraps to take away if you wish too.

    Mihbaj was a good start to the adventure… maybe let’s give them an 8.0 out of 10.

    Will there be a second post or will I decide to upset the CEO and refuse to come back to the office?
