How we do it
Four rules, since 2017.
Fillings to the edges
Jodie’s one rule since 2017: if you can see the plate through the sandwich, it goes back. Fillings reach the crust.
Quick at lunchtime
Two counters from twelve to two, so the queue moves. Ring ahead or build it online and it is waiting in a bag.
Something for everyone
Vegetarian and vegan fillings every day, gluten-free bread on request, and honest answers about what the kitchen handles.
Lunch to the office
Order by 10:30 and Sam brings it to Tredomen, Penallta, Dyffryn or Oakdale between twelve and one.

Five o’clock, Bargoed
The bread is an hour old.
A family bakery in Bargoed bakes our bloomers, seeded loaves, baps, baguettes and ciabatta at five and has them on Bedwlwyn Road by six. Jodie makes the fillings from six: coronation chicken, egg mayonnaise, the ham roasted on Wednesdays and the beef on Mondays.
Sandwiches and baguettesReviews
4.8 from 297 lunches.
We order working lunches for our Thursday meeting every week. In by half ten, on the table at twelve, every bag labelled. Sam even remembers who does not want onions.
Full roll and a tea on the way to site every morning for three years. Proper bacon, egg done right, ready when I pull up because I ring at quarter to seven.
The chicken, bacon and mayo on brown seeded is the best sandwich in the valley and I will hear no argument. Filled right to the crust as promised.
Questions people ask
When do office orders close?
At 10:30 on weekdays for delivery between twelve and one the same day. The office orders page says from the clock whether today’s cut-off has passed.
Can I order ahead for collection?
Yes: build it online and send it, or ring from 6:45. It will be bagged with your name on it.
What about allergies?
Tell us before you order. Our kitchen handles all 14 major allergens, so we cannot promise anything is free of traces. Every filling is listed on the allergen sheet at the counter.
Do you have gluten-free bread?
Yes, 90p extra. It is not safe for coeliacs because it is filled in the same kitchen.
Do you take cards?
Cards, phones and cash in the shop; card or invoice for office orders.
Are you open on Sundays?
No. Monday to Friday 7 to 2:30, Saturday 8 to 1.
Order by 10:30, lunch on the table by one.
