    Great to see you back DJ..and singing the praises of my favourite sandwich shop in London..they do just the best sandwiches in the whole London and when you also consider that they based in Mayfair these sandwiches are actually cheaper than you would think...
    Great review as ever DJ..here's to the next one mate.

Old-fashioned, well filled buttered crusty roll. Magical 🪄Coronation Chicken, something else that we can thank the late Queen for 👑🐔🤗. Noticed that you didn't mention the less wholesome activities that went on in Shepherd's Market way back when 😱Allan&Family

    Oh I wondered if I spotted coronation chicken. That definitely would have been my choice. It's now my fave sandwich that's to F&M. So good!!! I think £11 for the 2 x rolls and coffee in Mayfair no less is brilliant!! You can't go wrong for that price. Like you said yes you can make it cheaper at home but we all need to get out and get some fresh air sometimes. So good that you did. This thing has knocked me too. A week in and it still hasn't fully gone away. So annoying. Try and rest up as much as you can poor thing. 💙😊🤒🤧
