Happy Valentines Day from t.SC
That famous sandwich, the cucumber sandwich, has been made all the more soppy this week by Sanisbury’s introduction of the ‘Heart Shaped cucumber’.
Here at the Sandwich Club we have a few more suggestions for next year:
- The ‘LUV’ Sandwich (Lettuce, Uh-nion & Vegemite)
- A Heart Shaped loaf
- Edible flowers

The Sandwich Club Map!
On the Sandwich Club you will find many reviews of the sandwich outlets in Cardiff. To collate these reviews into a more easily digestible (arf.) format, we have constructed the Sandwich Club Sandwich Map!
Here’s what the map looks like
Here’s where you can find the full version on Google Maps
Each place has a photo of one of their typical sandwiches (with exception of Cafe Minuet), a brief description, and a link to both their own website if they have one and to our Sandwich Club review. The map will be updated as and when a new review goes up and it has its own page linked in the ‘Contact Us’ section.
Hope you find it interesting and useful. Please feel free to get in contact with any comments you may have.
Fresh, Royal Arcade
Last year we took our first visit to Fresh in Royal Arcade. Impressed by what it had to offer we thought it deserved an updated write up, so much so we’ve been there twice in nearly the same number of weeks.
Tucked away in a tiny space just along from Wally’s Deli. Fresh is consistently very very good, with the owners having a real passion for what they do. They specialise in baguettes (no sandwiches!) and also have a range of paninis, salads, cakes and drinks. The chalk board is crammed with a wide variety of staple fillings as well as some very intriguing daily specials.
Lunchtimes will often mean a queue out the door and down the arcade but service is very good and you don’t have to wait long. Here’s a sample of what we’ve had from Fresh recently.
Salami, pastrami, caramalised onion, mustard, mayo and salad on brown baguette
Ham, chicken, dill pickles, gherkins, mustard on brown baguette
Friday special (28/01/2011): Asian pork balls panini with super special homemade chilli sauce!
We even got to sample the home made chilli sauce that comprised twelve ingredients whilst waiting for the paninis to toast:
The clubbers were pretty unanimous on the the fact that this was one of THE BEST fillings we have tasted. Fresh do it right, they are friendly, inventive and know what the customer wants. They are one of the best in Cardiff.
