Birley Sandwiches in City of London, Westminster

I asked if they had any vegan croissant and the guy said to me he could make an avocado toast, but he then said, that’s not really vegan, right? It’s political. Will never go again.

Nunca he entendido el éxito de Birleys. Cada pocos años le doy una oportunidad y está muy mal ejecutado. La gerencia debe visitar cualquier tienda de delicatessen / bodega de Nueva York, o tal vez Vita Mojo localmente, para encontrar dos modelos mucho mejores sobre cómo administrar un negocio de comida para llevar. Esta mañana a las 10 de la mañana, fui una de las dos personas que esperaban un sándwich de bagel (solo hay un tipo de bagel disponible) y tardé ocho minutos en recibir mi pedido. El personal parecía estresado a pesar de las multitudes ligeras y una alta proporción de personal por cliente, y no parece entender muy bien las solicitudes del cliente o de los demás. Los tableros del menú no enumeran los ingredientes disponibles. Inicialmente, mi pedido fue incorrecto y luego me cobraron en exceso en la caja registradora porque el cajero no podía leer la escritura en el recibo del pedido. La comida resultante fue decente, pero aquí es muy necesaria la revisión y el reciclaje del proceso.

いろんな種類のスープがあって、熱々で美味しかったです。今回はビーンズとソーセージのスープにしました。ご飯、コリアンダー、チリがオプションで付けられました。ついてきたパンも美味しかった。

Después de salir de la calle Paul's Cathedral encontramos Birley Sandwiches. Ambos tuvimos sopas que eran fantásticas. Chicken Suckutash y yo comimos maíz picante. Ambos excelentes

Pequeño y encantador hallazgo. Muy buen valor dado estar en el centro de Londres. Sándwich de desayuno de salchicha / tocino cocido por aproximadamente 4. 00 cada uno. El personal podría ser un poco más entusiasta. Al principio no está muy claro cómo ordenar / pagar y cuando se le preguntó al miembro del personal no fue de lo más útil. Sin embargo, comida muy sabrosa a buen precio.

Absolutamente horrible y debe ser evitado si tiene alguna autoestima. El único objetivo del personal es discutir con los clientes y tratar de ofrecer la menor cantidad posible de alimentos.Estupendo si te encanta tener a alguien gritando "FRESH SANDWICHS" en tu oído cada 20 segundos.Si le das a esta gente tu dinero, eres un idiota.

Beautiful salads and sandwiches home made in front of you - service could be friendlier but overall a good experience

Qué hallazgo para un lugar sándwich. Barra de ensaladas, carnes recién cortadas, sopas y opciones de sándwich. Tanto para elegir hizo que el tiempo de espera fuera un poco más largo, pero que valió la pena. Tenía pastrami recién cortado en pan de granero elegante con mostaza integral, chucrut y pepinillo. Oh mi vida, la mejor combinación de todas. El personal fue paciente y servicial. Y el costo fue bastante razonable. Todos disfrutamos nuestro sándwich. No sé si uno de estos sobrevivirá en MK debido a los costos, pero se saldrá con la suya en Londres. No es demasiado caro, pero sin duda es caro.

Chicos,buena comida - no hay duda sobre eso.Sin embargo, el servicio de basura al cliente. Llevé a mi cliente el desayuno de negocios informales, cómo me dio vergüenza cuando la señora ligeramente¿½s detrás del mostrador se incapaz de seguir la pista de quién venía abetos y servirnos de acuerdo con esto? ! (en ese momento, había 3 - 4 clientes), que ocurre, sin embargo, recordó que cuando amablemente nos gustaría ti orden lugar, ella consiguió arrogante, crispado y muy poco profesional! ! !De golpe el billete ob el contador, no gracias nada! ! ! !Cuando la orden que ella ti entregar estaba gritando como (disculpas por esta palabra) loca! ! ! Entiendo que hay mundial iba y emociones son altos, pero puedo garantizar, que ella lo más - todo el mundo grita si ella sería en el estadio en medio de aficionados mexicanos!Estas personas no deben ser permitidos de trabajar dentro de un entorno de servicio al cliente.De ninguna manera, volveré.

Sistema de ordenamiento y recolección muy desorganizado y desordenado. Visitado dos veces recientemente, ambas experiencias terribles. La primera vez, tomé 10 minutos para tomar el pedido y 15 minutos para entregar mi tostada, solo para la que se debe dar (¡y mi tostada de atún fue la última)! La segunda visita tomó más de 15 minutos para ordenar sin líneas claras donde ordenar o dónde recolectar. Caos absoluto y ordenamiento muy ineficiente, recolectando y pagando. No recomendaría a menos que tenga mucha paciencia y tiempo en sus manos.

Apareció en el desayuno. El sándwich de tocino y huevo, recién preparado a pedido, fue posiblemente el mejor que he probado. El pan era suave y fresco, el tocino crujiente y sabroso y el huevo perfectamente preparado. Lo trajeron a la mesa, que era agradable, ya que es solo una tienda de sándwiches y solo tenía 3. 30. Nada mal para el centro de Londres

So good. Really great sandwiches from the carving station.. I️ went with the salt beef twice in four days.. so good!!

If are working or visiting the City eary in the morning the best place to get a good coffee and a great breakfasts sandwich is Birley sandwich shop.

Staff are rude and unhelpful. The salads are v good but always are which ever Birley's you go too. Hope staff or manager reads these reviews because customer service needs a big improvement. Not sure I'll be returning.

Cuesta nada ser educado y cortés, y especialmente a los clientes cuando están en un negocio minorista. Hace una diferencia y aunque los bocadillos son buenos no hay escasez de lugares alternativos para la gente para ir. Dirección del servicio y garantizar que el personal y la mayoría de otras cosas se ocupará de ellos mismos.

La ciudad de Londres está inundada con los típicos cafés de marca que tienen un aspecto estándar, y que son un poco "repetitivo". Aunque entiendo Birleys Paternoster Square para ser parte de una pequeña cadena, destaca por su originalidad y encanto ecléctico. A menudo recogida desayuno aquí en mi camino al trabajo y esa es la razón por la que me gusta. En primer lugar me recuerda a Italia y las prácticas del sistema donde pides tu comida y dan un billete, y luego cola para pagar su billete y está estampado. Y luego, cuando su número es llamado fuera entregue sellar el billete y conseguir su comida. Si no has estado en Italia y experimentado este sistema usted puede encontrar un poco extraño al principio. Pero funciona y eso significa que las personas que están preparando la comida no están también vaguear con dinero. En segundo lugar, me gusta la naturaleza ecléctica del lugar y mientras estoy esperando siempre hay algo interesante que ver. Como los perros deben como hay fotos de ellos por todos lados y hasta hay un cartel en la puerta que dice: 'Todos los perros de bienvenida". . No es que yo he visto un perro en mente, como los trabajadores de la ciudad tienden curiosamente no tienen sus perros con ellos. Además de los perros, hay fotos de personas, carteles de estrellas de cine, máscaras de china, espejos, un modelo grande de un pez espada y un par de grandes claros tonos art deco, para nombrar unos pocos. Y por la mañana hay un tipo de música 1940 gramófono rascado lejos en el fondo. La tercera razón por la que me gusta es por la buena comida que es sencillo recién hecho. Y la cuarta es que abre más temprano que la mayoría de puertas abiertas en 0600 por café y pasteles, y el menú es más amplia disponible de 0630. Birleys es un poco más interesante que su café normal con un personal agradable y una agradable zona de asientos dentro y fuera, todo el año. Si decides probarlas en el verano te lugar su marquesina verde y blanco y señales luminosas amarillas escondido en la esquina de la plaza.

Way overpriced on items there. Cheaper places around. Didn't realize you had to pay extra on sandwich's if you eat in. What a rip that was. It is like what did they provide but a table and chairs. Not like I was getting any additional service. Now I know why everybody does take away during lunch.

I have been visiting this restaurant for several time and it seems the service is not improving but just getting worst.

Ok sandwiches but not worth the price (in my opinion). Similar items can be purchased at half the price from some surrounding establishments.

First time visiting this place in Canary Warf, I love salt beef and went with the idea of having one of those, but decided on the pastrami... loved every bite of it...

Firstly I am fussy with my food. My friend fortunately had been many times and explained the queues and then what to do at the counter! It would have been a bit confusing otherwise as I couldn't see any queuing areas sectioned. We both had a large and very fresh & tasty salad, drinks and a bag of crisps (we shared). You chose all the elements of your salad and then a dressing, they mixed it all together and then voila! It came to under £15 which I was amazed at! I thought the food was delicious and wish they had a branch here in cork!

I can put up with the staff not speaking English well as you eventually get through that but the prices are far too dear and the portions too small.For example a normal size salmon salad £8.20.A very small salt beef sandwich £5.75It's really a shambolic queue as well.So poorly organised.And always really noisy.Give this place a miss.

A bit hectic when we went, a good sign really as it means they are popular.Understanding how to order as a new customer to this style of service. Staff were a tad impatient, but the sandwich I had was good. A bit overpriced.

Love Birley, yes they can be chaotic, its just like ordering a sandwich in the US or Italy, you pay first then give slip to the person behind the counter, its not the best system during lunch hour in the City I must admit, however this is forgotten when you see your sandwich, as its made fresh, with no hold up, and tastes amazing.

Chaotic system of ordering especially as most of the staff don't understand or speak English at a level to avoid having to shout at them. Expensive too .Pret nearby much better

This place serves mainly sandwiches, salads and soups for takeaway. They have a small area to eat in and a large terrace (if the London weather is good). The food is good particularly sandwiches and soups. However, this place needs a bit of organisation for an efficient operation. There is no single queue and it seems all chaotic. I have been put off so many times to go because the queue was too long for me to wait. Staff need really some customer service training, no smiles, sometimes they can barely explain what are the ingredients used but worst sometimes you get a bit of arrogance.

I had lunch with my family at Birley Sandwiches before visiting St Paul Cathedral. It was the first time we had dined there; as a matter of fact we had not come across any branches of this restaurant before. As its name implies this restaurant serves sandwiches, but it does it with a difference. The difference is that the sandwiches are not prepared beforehand but are prepared according to your order and right in front of you.There were several queue in front of the food counters and it was difficult to figure out which queue is for what, but in the end it did not matter. There was a large choice of sandwiches - including cheese, tuna, turkey, chicken and prawns. You had the choice of brown and white bread as well as salad with your sandwich. The staff were very friendly and efficient. We only had sandwiches as well as tea and coffee at the end but they also served soups and had a limited range of ready made desserts. We had tuna, turkey, prawn and cheese sandwiches and apart from my youngest daughter who did not like her prawn sandwich (but nevertheless ate all of it!) we enjoyed our meal. The four sandwiches plus two popcorn snacks came to around 18 pounds which I think was good value for money.

I agree with other reviewers that the ordering system is a little confused but it only takes a minute to work out that if like us you only want soup you do not need to queue. Better signage would help I am sure. The soup itself was delicious, well priced and served with charm. Just what we needed on a cold early March day. I definitely recommend Birley's look at the ordering system and try to improve it.

There is a complex system in place which may be incredibly efficient from the employees' perspectives. However, the majority of customers (especially the new ones like myself) have absolutely no idea what that process is and therefore, the entire experience is complete chaos. It's a shame because their sandwiches are very good. I just can't quite see myself willingly stepping back in there for another round.

Quite chaotic if you're unfamiliar with the "system" - there seems to be separate queues for carvery sandwiches, normal sandwiches and soup, and a completely separate queue to pay - so you'll end up queuing twice regardless. Turns into survival of the fittest if you go at primetime lunchtime, but the sandwiches are worth it - lovely bread and great hot fillings, reasonably priced.

Tranquil location in Paternoster Square. Wide variety of sandwich options. Friendly staff. Very good coffee, not bitter at all. Competitively priced.

This sandwich place is great. Get my lunch here daily. Avoid 12pm till 1pm as it is busy. Everything is made on the spot so it is fresh. I always aim for the roast beef sandwiches are they are devine.

We bought some bacon rolls here and they were tasty and the coffee alright. The staff weren't too cheery or helpful at explaining the deal- a smile wouldn't go amiss

Birley's had its heyday in the 1980s and 1990s. From memory, it was one of the first chains of sandwich bars to go upmarket, for the "yuppie" market. I can remember avocado and prawn sandwiches, which seemed like the height of luxury at the time (still pretty good now, actually). I think the chain suffered in the recessions since then but according to its website there are now 12 branches.Anyway, the sandwiches are freshly made and the people are lovely. I always buy a croissant with ham and cheese (gruyere or emmental I think) and always surprise them by not wanting it toasted. I tried it toasted once and it's not nearly so nice - and much more difficult to eat. The croissant is always fresh and it keeps you going all morning.Postscript - I looked at the website while writing this review and on the home page is a huge picture of an avocado and prawn sandwich !

This is a typical City of London sandwich bar frequented by well paid bankers in suits jossling to be served at the counter. You can construct your own hot or cold sandwich from many displayed fillings and there are also salads and soups. Although mainly take-away there is a small terrace with tables and overhead heaters where you can eat your food. I found the sandwiches fine but not really special particularly as the cost for 3 of us was £28 and there was a long wait to be served.

Good for a quick breakfast before work. Provide sandwiches, toasties and porridge and make them fresh. Quick service.

Wide range of sandwiches. You can pick one from the counter or choose the filling yourself. It goes fast, it's tasty and fresh. Thought near St Paul's, there were barely tourists.

If you are near St Paul's and fancy a snack then here is your best choice and you will not regret it. The Ministrone soup is the best I have ever had.The snack variety is delightful and the staff very helpful
