Bread & Meat in Cambridge

Friendly helpful staff, tasty sandwich with lots of meat defo recommend

Not bad place, so glad to finally try poutine, I nearly couldn't finish it.

Went for a mini date night and had heard amazing things about Bread & Meat. Honestly amazing food my other half had the honey soy chicken sandwich with a side of poutine and it was all stunning. I chose the philly cheese steak bowl (gluten free as I am coeliac) and it was amazing, highly highly reccomend we will be back at some point!

Amazing food and very nice atmosphere! The best place to eat in Cambridge.

Wow, have it. It is have a good vibes and a great taste. Always full.

The food is very nice! I tried the Poutine - Beef Brisket. Delicious, the beef was falling apart. It was just a little too salty, other than that no complaints. The restaurant is located near The Eagle and King’s Parade, so very central. Definitely worth popping in 😊

A brilliant find in Cambridge for lunch. Staff is friendly and the food was amazing

The porchetta ciabatta tastes fairly nice. Pork was crispy. The portions were quite generous.

Great place for food in Cambridge

Great place for honest quality grub. Small menu which is good, and top quality pork and chicken. The bowl is a good option for meat and veg to fill u up. Great milkshakes too. Good service too. Will be back.

Overview: A small restaurant specialising in roast and slow cooked meats served in fresh bread along with a choice of sides and milkshakes. Pros✅: Food was so so so good, I highly recommend anyone visiting Cambridge to come here for lunch. The porchetta ciabatta was delicious and my favourite part was the crackling and salsa verde. The bread is also very fresh and served hot. I highly recommend the poutine - the gravy was the best part. Good value for money. Cons❌: Can get super busy during peak times. We arrived at around 12pm on a weekday and there was a queue of about 7 people ahead of us. We only had to wait for about 10 mins as the place has very quick turnover of customers like a fast service food restaurant. Recommended dishes: 🐖Porchetta ciabatta 🥩Philly cheese steak with jalapeños 🍟Poutine

good food , v busy though so expect to queue (on a weekend at least)

Great service from Natalia! Always with a smile and very attentive! Food was great. Nice filling bites to enjoy with friends! Highly recommend 👌

Very odd and uncomfortable experience with the management. We were a group of four, and upon arrival, we were immediately directed to an uncomfortable table. What made this experience more noticeable was that we were the only customers of color in the restaurant. Shortly after we sat down, a white family of three took the very table that had been denied to us.

I found a tasty and healthy dish, I asked to remove dairy products, no problem. I enjoyed the food, the service and the vibe. Makes me want to return.

Yum. Better than the famous sandwich shop in Florence! I had the topside beef in ciabatta - winner winner! 🏆

Usually there was a queue in front of it every time I saw it, but I was able to sit down after waiting 15 minutes. Very delicious, staff were very nice. I really loved it. I liked the chicken the least but the other options were amazing

Had the weekly special- the Jerk chicken sandwich in ciabatta bread. Can comfortably say it was one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had. The size of the sandwich was extremely good value for the price. A must visit!

Great small cafe. The Philly cheesesteak is amazing. My favourite meal to get in all of Cambridge. Milkshakes are large sizes and delicious. Only thing I don’t like is sometimes the laminated menus are a bit greasy.

Perfect bread, meat, and cheese! What else do I want?

Phlilly cheese steak sandwich - the combination of juiciness and crunchiness!

juicy sandwiches. fresh ciabatta. all the lovely deliciousness.

Simple and great environment. The Ciabatta and the Poutine with Philly Cheese Steak were great

Let me start this off by saying I absolutely love this place. It’s one of 3 places that I visit religiously the one time a year that I’m in Cambridge. Unfortunately I was left a bit disappointed today. The food still tastes great but the portion size of the meat and crackling (porchetta) was way less than usual, maybe 1/3 less. I definitely didn’t get crackling in every bite like I usually would. The price is now £11 for a sandwich, it was £10 the last time I was here. (July ‘23) I get it, costs go up and prices have to too, but you can’t reduce the portion sizes and increase the price. It’s a shame, this place was the first thing that comes to mind whenever Cambridge is mentioned around me, I recommend it to anyone that comes this way. Maybe I caught them on an off day, we’ll see how they do on my next visit.

Cozy, warm, and fantastic food. I love the small menu. It makes sense that there is a queue outside.

Tasty food made better with the friendly helpful staff 😊

Riktigt riktigt gott. Provade flera olika rätter och allt var försvinnande gott. Lämnade ena brödlocket då det blev lite för mycket bröd med allt tillsammans

Walking by this restaurant and saw a beautiful pork roast with craklins (chichirones) surrounding it and was lured in by the smell and looks. The food was fabulous. We had been in England for a week and the will be my most memorable meal. My wife asked the owner how he achieved the craklin and rather than try and keep.it a secret he went through the lengthy procedure needed to create the meat. This is gem and I hope the people of Cambridge realize how fortunate they are! Truly unique, truly delicious!

Serving great sandwiches for meet lovers

Good place to eat. Dish with grilled meat and various vegetables £17.5, very delicious. Very good location and excellent service in Spanish by a waiter from Salamanca.

The meat Sandwiches are incredible, the other meat dishes not so much.

Quick business lunch. Good service from helpful staff. Lunch menu was nice with rather small portions.

Ciabatta is best I ever had. Take away and eat next to river

Had the panchetta ciabatta with drinks. The bread was crusty on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside. The pork was also nicely cooked, and I loved the salsa verde. However, there were two very hard slabs of pork skin in the sandwich that I just could not put my teeth into. It should really be left out of the sandwich as it can be a health hazard for some people with weak teeth... The service and atmosphere were warm and welcoming.

A spin off of Meat & Bread in BC, Canada. Delicious sandwiches and they serve poutine, too. Sandwiches from £10.50 and poutine starts at £7. It was delicious. A little warm on the uk summers days, could do with an AC unit. Would definitely recommend. We were a little taken aback by the service charge in a small place with not much service needed as such, but we still had a great time. Worth a visit, there were three of us and we spent just over £50. @kirbystaltari

How on earth did I miss this place? What is poutine and why is it already my favourite food? I loved it! 100% recommended if you guys havent been there. 🥰🥰

Bread was warm and tasty the chicken thighs were delicious.

the queue is long. the food was perfect

Amazing place, good food and very attentive staff members. Would definitely go back and recommend to my friends! Also the atmosphere fits the place!

Best poutine chips in UK! All of their menus are fantastic.

Best combo for 2 people: Phili cheese steak ciabatta and honey soy chicken poutine. This worths a trip from London! Absolutely loved it 🥰

One of the best lunches/sandwiches i’ve had for a long time! The philly cheese steak was unreal and the best poutine i’ve had in the uk! We managed to get a seat but its very small inside so take away might be easier. Staff were lovely. Wasnt cheap but 100% worth it. Homemade lemonade was lovely too! Would visit again

Whenever we are in Cambridge I try and come by to order a honey soy chicken sandwich with roast veggies on the side, and a poutine if I’m with company. I’ve tried a few of the other sandwiches and they are good too, but honey soy chicken is by far my personal favourite. Try and dine in if you can, as the food can get quite soggy quite quickly when packed to go.

Ordered this on Deliveroo and was a great sandwich. Lots of flavour and a great amount of meat

Quite expensive (for a “sandwich”) but really tasty and copious! In the historical center, excellent yet!

They’re famous for their sandwiches but their sandwiches while delicious, it’s too small and too expensive. Their coleslaw was bland and not worth the price as well.

Love it here, sandwiches and poutine is always delicious

The best food I tasted in England, I swear. I've been traveling for a while, and for me there isn't nothing close to this delicious food

Small place with great food. We tried poutine and sandwich and writing this review my mouth is watering. They serve you quickly and very well.

Everything was great, the food, the service. I recommend!

Love this place for a quick take away lunch. Highly recommend never disappoint. We come here every time we are in Cambridge from London. Soy chicken or the top side ciabatta but to be fair any would satisfy!!!!

Fantastic sandwiches but loses one star because ambience a bit lacking. Could do with a fan or air con because on a warm day it’s very hot in there.

As a chef I'm quite critical of food. Gotta be the best sandwich I've ever had.

Best sandwich I’ve had. Honey soy chicken especially

We stayed 1 week st cambirdge and we came here third times!! Love these sandwiches. I can not decided which is better philly cheese steak or honey soy chicken. Meat one is cooked 14 hours omg!! It is so soft and this sandwihes has great fresh cheese. chicken one has great souce and it is also soft.

I can honestly say this is the best sandwich I have ever had. The meat is delicious and the bread is crispy and soft at the same time! I would 100% recommend you come and try the food here!

We came completely by chance. A very good discovery. The sandwiches are excellent with very good ingredients. The staff is very friendly and attentive.

Great place for a good lunch. We had the bowl with chicken, warm vegetables and lettuce. Fine!

Tried for the first time today after hearing amazing reviews. I had the honey soy chicken with slaw and sriracha mayo. Best sandwich I've had in a long time. Not always huge on bread but this was fluffy and warm in the middle with a crisp crust. Will come back

Great place to eat! We ordered the philly cheese steak with poutine, one in a bowl and the other the ciabatta. It was really tasty. Price is good as well. Our waiter was lovely and we had a great time. Certainly going back when in town.

Had a horrible diarrhoea immediately after eating a topside of british beef sandwich here

Amazing Meal with great service!

Ordered chicken thigh and honey sandwich with a dirty Chai milkshake. very tasty food and will definitely go back again

One of the best ciabatta I have in Cambridge. The combination of topside beef and other ingredients are just perfect! The beef is so tender and rich in flavour. The sourdough ciabatta is also a blast, soft inside with a real crispy crust. The weekly special bbq beef brisket is a little greasy with too much dressing.

Photo doesn’t do justice to how good this was! Lucky to be seated straightaway in a tight table which is fine given the size of the place. Would recommend mixing and matching if visiting with friends to maximise trying everything!

I absolutely love this place since it's opened. I recommend take away and sit somewhere nice in a park or something 😄

Our favourite is Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich. Yummy pulled beef. The bread is crispy and delicious. We enjoy it everytime. Never disappoints you. Highly recommend it. They do trials from time to time in the menu. I would be happy to see more trials on the beef sandwich side.

Local business with delicious food and swift service. Reasonable prices as for Cambridge. We were served by Ines who was very kind and efficient. Her service was seamless. There was no pressure to leave a tip which was nice surprise.

Hi iv posted on dilveroo ap but can't reply the meat was fatty but couldn't swallow it was awful, the chips just wasn't great if you check the month before I gave you 5 stars as I normally love the food

This is the best sandwiches in the world. The porchetta sandwich is to die for and the topside British beef a close second

Beef Ciabatta with good flavor. If you order take away ask for extra napkins, it’s quite a messy.

Fantastic little sandy spot in downtown. Food was super flavorful and well worth it! 10/10

Went it at 11:29 to get take away at the side door. Told to come back in 5 min by a girl with what I assume is a replicated American accent. Politely told the girl is 1 min to half 11 which is when they open and asked if I can pay now and collect whenever is ready. Told to come back in 5 min. I guess not!!! Not on my money. Shame as we were regulars.

BEST SANDWICH IVE EVER HAD, PERIOD. Got a takeaway Philly cheese steak sandwich which I shared with my GF. Should have got one each!!

Best meal in Cambridge . A bit expensive for this type of fare but the quality is really good and much better than places around that would charge more. The Philly steak with poutine is mouthwatering. Service also fast & pleasant. + for the clean toilet

Really pleasant drop-in after the chapel and right before the lunch rush. They had seating along the window, close enough to watch the queue grow. It's tiny, so eat and don't linger so the next person can enjoy. The porchetta sandwich accompanied by the most unexpected veggies was delicious.

The food was good, but it felt rather cheeky to be presented with the card machine without seeing an itemised bill beforehand, especially when the tip was automatically added.

Absolutely outstanding sandwiches and in my top 2 of all sandwich places (other being Dieleto, Fleet St, London). It is not your average sandwich, it is substantially better. Small queue forming outside (12 people) on a sunny Saturday lunch time in June. Took around 15 minutes to get seated. However, it was organised and they kept tabs on the numbers/groups waiting outside and updated us on progress. Opted for both the Pork and Chicken each to share which arrived quickly. Ciabatta was fresh and crispy, good amount of meat inside, sauces went together well with lots of flavours which combined well. Both were great options but Chicken definitely had the edge and would go for that again next time. Service was efficient yet friendly. Can’t wait to come back and visit again.

Heard about this in YouTube and decided we needed to visit. We were not disappointed!! The food was amazing!

The honey soy chicken is my favourite sandwich in existence! I can’t count how many times I’ve had it, but it gets better every time 😎

MUST try spot in cambridge. Always have me coming back for more! Honey soy chicken ciabatta is sublime, definitely NOT average or terrible. AND their specials never miss. Special mention to the spicy mayo made with the exxtra special sriracha 🌶️

Delicious sandwich. Philly cheese steak with jalapenos is highly recommended as well as the poutine as a side.

We had the porchetta and Philly steak ciabattas. Amazing, full of flavour, juicy and very filling. One of our best sandwich experiences!

Philly steak was extremely delicious. I loved its taste with its meat, cheese, pepper and bread. Lemonade was also nice and the sugar was just right.

Decent bit of roast. Won't knock the grade. Mid rare methinks. My only input is, there's literally no point in rocket salad in a roast sandwich. 100% spoils it. Tomatoes are sound. Ciabatta was fair. Didn't test the sauce had forgotten to ask for the ingredients itinerary. Just diatry preference. Though I'm sure the probables are it's delicious.

Probably the best lunch I have had for a long time. Excellent service, warm friendly atmosphere and most importantly the bread and meat were top notch. If I'm ever in Cambridge again, this is where I will be eating.

Philly cheese was top notch, and the poutine side delicious and enough to share between 2. Veggie sandwich was nice enough but lacking a bit of oomph.

It was actually pretty average, definitely not one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had. In all honestly, I don’t think I would return. I had the special, (Korean chicken) which was ok, and my partner had the spicy honey chicken, which was pretty terrible. Maybe their other items are better….

Banging! Que outside today due to how popular it is but wo worth it.

Best sandwiches in town. The quality here is always perfect. Staff are very friendly and always happy to make space for a pushchair, despite only having a small number of tables. Bread and Meat is a Cambridge staple!

Delicious beef sandwich (shared between two oldies). Also portion of slaw. Owner came to talk us through slow cooked beef which miraculously ends up pink & lovely. Must try - suspect I will need an enormous joint of beef 😆 Really good food & service. We'll be back.

The Philly Cheese Steak Ciabatta and Poutine I tried recently were both excellent. The ciabatta was perfectly toasted, providing a satisfying crunch with every bite, complemented wonderfully by the juicy, well-seasoned steak and melted cheese. As for the poutine, it was a delightful mix of crispy fries, rich gravy, and gooey cheese curds, all blending together to create a comforting, indulgent dish. Both items were flavorful and well-prepared, making for a truly satisfying meal. Highly recommended for anyone craving hearty, delicious comfort food!

Very nice one of my favourite lunch spots in Cambridge.

We were wandering around and figured we’d check this place out for lunch based on the many positive reviews. They couldn’t have been more right - the place was great! I ordered the lemonade (sweet and refreshing), the porchetta sandwich (tasty bread and even more tasty meat - spiced just right), and fries with spicy mayo (cooked to perfection). The picture I’m sharing is not mine, but my order looked exactly like it but my phone had died.

Best sandwich I’ve ever eaten. Meat is so succulent and really high quality produce used. Will be returning to Cambridge just for another meal here!

Quick service, friendly staff, quality food - you won't be disappointed

Fantastic food and service. Great prices. Great ambience. Would definitely recommend. The quality and quantity of food was perfect. Its a no nonsense great place to eat.

Great lunch here whilst visiting from London. Ticked all the boxes for us - quick service, big portions and really tasty menu, the gravy was divine. Will definitely be returning

Fantastic food, not many places you can get poutine in th Uk! Fantastic value, a lot of food for the money. Good service. Much enjoyed@

Friendly staff, incredible food (highly recommend the Philly Cheese Steak), and clean / nice atmosphere inside. 10/10
