Paul Rothe & Son in City of London, Westminster

I think what’s truly special about this place is how nice and welcoming the members of staff are. And on top of that the sandwiches are great and so filling, really struggled to finish it. The variety of things you can buy like biscuits, jams and panettones is also great.

What a gem!! Ultra fresh bread & quality ingredients (not pressed).

Stumbled across this shop and they are selling the blackberry jam. Went in straightaway and bought it as I couldn’t find it anywhere else. Staff were so friendly even though they were busy with the dine-in customers! Definitely will try the menu next time!

Best sandwich shop in London by far!

I saw this place on some Instagram videos and made a detour during my trip to try a sandwich. It was very easy to find and secluded (not so busy with people). The service was really fast and very friendly. I got the coronation chicken and ate-in. There is seating but it was busy and cramped, so not a place for large groups. The sandwich was amazing! So much flavour and creamy. Probably the best thing I ate during my trip. I wish I was more hungry to try another sandwich filling.

Coronation chicken sandwich was amazing.

This place is such a lovely place! Full of history and good and simple food! With a true British touch and a good shape ! inside you can order a very simple meal like a sandwich or soup, eat there or bring it home! I really appreciate and recommend 🤗🙏❤️

Went to Paul Rothe & Son with my brother for a quick lunch and it did not disappoint. The sandwich’s have a real British flair and the price for the food is fantastic with respect to eating out in central London. If I could recommend any sandwich, the salt beef mustard with dill was very tasty. The staff were very patient and kind when recommending food for us to try. If I ever find myself in the area, will defiantly consider dropping by.

Amazing service, friendly staff. I love the sandwiches here and bring friends who haven’t been to London and they love it.

Visited them a while ago, after finding the place on tripadvisor. I got a pastrami sandwich and it was so good that I still remember its taste to this day. Pretty much the best budget pastrami sandwich I ever tried in London, period. Big portion and all that savouriness for ~5 pounds - that's a great price-value ratio and I did not find anything similar to this in that price range, especially with that level of quality. Leaving that aside, you'll find a family business with a rich history that spans over 100 years, that stayed true to its values, and I'm more than eager to revisit them when I'll stay again in London.

Because we heard that the sandwiches here are delicious, we took the subway here to have breakfast, and we were not disappointed. We ordered the coronation chicken sandwich and smoked salmon sandwich, and the latte and soup were also great! (The portions of food are quite large.)

I. Love. This. Place. IT IS SO CUTE. and decked out with condiments that they sell. jams and chutneys and ahhh its heavenly. THEY HAVE SOUPS TOO. the people working there were so nice even though i took like a thousand years to order because theres so many amazing options. you can get your dream cutie little sandwich here. i’m not often in the area but i hope i can go back sometime because it is so worth it!!!!! By the way I had the coronation chicken and my boyfriend got a roast beef sandwich I think. Both were delectable. much love and adoration!

Wonderful place. Delicious lunch with an amazing array of fillings & rolls, despite its size! Can't wait to go again

I tried a regular flat white, it doesn't taste like an Americano. Their Americano is very delicious. I had an egg and avocado sandwich, which was very ordinary. The prices are reasonable and the service is fast.

Oh, wow! It was just amazing. The most delicious sandwiches 🤤.

Stumbled on this place when we saw a few people standing outside with their sandwiches. Hit the spot. We got a chicken tikka which was actually quite nice and the pastrami one, was lovely toasted. Would recommend and return if around the area

I love this place! The owners Paul and Steven are friendly and down to earth peopel .The sandwiches are made with quality ingredients .I definitely will come back.

The best sandwich restaurants in London

so many options to choose from, all of the ingredients super fresh and sandwiches made right in front of you, so you know they haven’t been sitting in a window all day. Even with packed out building we were served quickly and ate the sandwiches even quicker. A must go.

Visiting Paul Rothe & Son is like taking a step back in time, to an era when service mattered. I was fortunate enough to work just around the corner, so have spent many pleasant lunchtimes sitting at their tables (or grabbing a sandwich and cup of tea to take away). A really special, old fashioned place.

What a fantastic place. Great food, friendly staff, and the most wonderful shop. Highly recommended.

Amazing. Exactly the special sandwich I wanted!

Best sandwich shop in London with the friendliest staff!

Good local find and worth the queue, which moves fast. Infinitely better than chain options. Coronation chicken seems a staple and was great.

Very good prawn mayo sandwich from a historic spot

We came here at noon on a weekday. The store was busy with customers constantly coming in for takeaway sandwiches. The inside of the store was lined with jams and other foods, and it was a classic and wonderful space that I like. Sandwiches are purchased through face-to-face sales. We ordered sandwiches while looking at the ingredients in the glass case, but we were so inexperienced that we couldn't decide quickly or speak smoothly, making us very nervous. However, the staff did not rush us, calmly listened to our order, confirmed any missing information, and completed a delicious-looking sandwich. We were both happy and relieved. Not only the skill with which they make the sandwiches, but even the high-speed movement in which they wrap them in paper is a masterpiece of long-established craftsmanship, and you'll be amazed. The sandwiches I received after returning home were each distinctly different in taste, unique, and very delicious. I thought it might be too big for us, but everyone ate it up in no time. It was a little crowded this time, so I was disappointed that I couldn't see much of the food and miscellaneous goods in the store. Next time, I would like to take a closer look at the interior while eating other sandwiches inside the store.

One of my very favourite sandwich shops in London, and probably what I will miss most is their very good English sandwiches!

Great little old authentic sandwich place. Real nice surprise by the service which is calm and not hurried despite the popularity unlike in some other similar establishments

Delicious sandwiches, which are worth a wait. Highly recommend the Italian chicken with cheese and the pastrami

Need to remember to support the places i like

You make your own sandwich,but the most popular options are Pastrami wich is nice toasted.Coronarion chicken .Italian chicken with cheese and sundries tomatoes.🤤🤤

Honestly had one of the best sandwiches of my life here. Go for the pastrami and Swiss! There was a bit of a line, but I was able to get a seat inside as a solo diner. I’ll definitely go back next time I’m in London!

I had a pastrami sandwich. The ingredients are plentiful, the mustard is strong, and the bread is not dry and delicious! I'm happy with this price in London. Very satisfied with the cost performance. I haven't been to the store since I had someone come and buy it for me.

Hell of a queue builds up here. One of those rare fashionable sarnie shops. Prices actually very reasonable. I had the salted beef ciabatta roll with a coke for just £8 and it tasted worthy of this place’s reputation. Very kitschy window displays that attract local office workers and tourists alike. Service was quick but if the queue is bad, expect a wait.

I am a sucker for local shops. I stumbled upon this place during a hungry afternoon and I had the most delicious chicken salad! I was so happy with it my feet were dancing.

I am surprised by some reviews which are below 4 for this place. It has amazing food ( I ordered pastrami and grilled cheese). The place is authentic, workers are so cooperative and polite, people will always be in line and place is busy. I highly recommend it, must try, great varieties

Unfriendly staff. Coffee is watery.

Smoked Salmon 9/10 Pastrami sandwich 10/10

Really lovely delicatessen! Small queue on a Saturday lunchtime but worth it. So many options to choose from - I went for cheddar with red onions and chutney toasted, and my partner had pastrami, emmental and pickles. Both were delicious and great value. We also got a scotch egg with mustard which was yum! The employees were smiley and helpful too. Would definitely recommend and come back.

There was a queue when I went to this sandwich shop and I didn’t know it was that famous. Everyone was there to get a soup and sandwich and it reminded me of a sandwich shop o visited in Belgium. The interiors are very vintage and the jam jar wall is pleasing to the eyes. I got the coronation chicken sandwich in brown bread. Creamy and mild curry flavour of the sandwich is complimented by sweet raisins. I’d definitely go back to try others.

To be honest, I only want to try this deli to find out if the Que that I see every day is justified and Sadly it wasn’t . Not great also not bad. I had an egg mayonnaise, bacon with cheese sandwich at a grand total of £8. For the location it’s pretty reasonably priced. if you’re coming out of town, It’s definitely worth the visit to add it you instagram collection. It’s a beautiful preserved shop, like a moment in time frozen and well kept. A nostalgic view of London glory days befor it was replaced with Starbucks and Pret. If you’re local, don’t bother to Que! Your lunchtime is better spent resting then getting moody waiting for food. Over all experience was meh, amazing atmosphere but mediocre food.

Lovely old school deli sandwich shop/cafe. Pleasant staff, excellent food, good value.

Excellent quality, price and service! Spanish spoken! Highly recommended

London's most authentic kosher deli serving up sandwiches that will satisfy. Staff are super friendly and happy to answer any questions you might have. Best of all sandwiches are made fresh to order right at the counter with effortless expertise. I went for the pastrami, Swiss cheese, pickles, mustard and mayo on brown bread toasted. Super delicious.

Excellent old school place - had that London charm. The sandwich fillings are delicious. Both the granary bread and white bread were yummy and fresh. I tried coronation chicken and the seafood cocktail mix - both were super good. Already plotting my next visit back to try the pastrami and other flavours. The place is also super small and cute - the staff are also very sweet and nice.

Delicious sandwich, great ingredients. They don’t hold back on the filling. Pleasant friendly service and simple decor. You feel like a local in here

Ce fut un réel plaisir que de découvrir cette boutique, le personnel est très accueillant et souriant, il y en a pour tous les goûts, et les produits sont de très bonnes qualités. Nous recommandons vivement cet endroit. Le petit plus, prendre son repas à emporter et le manger dans le Regent's Park durant une journée ensoleillée. Le must 😁

Yummy sandwiches and warm welcome! had difficulty in making a choice so I asked which was the most popular sandwich. Everyone was happy to help.

Delightful and delicious with lovely helpful staff

Am a regular at this charming deli, fantastic sandwiches served my lovely staff. Great prices too!

Probably the best sandwich shop in London.

Alright drop whatever you're eating and head to this place before it's 4pm and this shop is closed. I'm a stranger on the internet but trust me, just go to this place. You can't go wrong with any of their choices. One of my favorite food experiences in London!

Great little sandwich shop & deli in the heart of Marylebone. Staff are friendly and the food is good! The salt beef, mustard mayo and dill is a particular highlight!

Hidden away jewel. Sandwiches bursting with flavour on freshly made bread. They have an amazingly wide choice of fillings

Marvellous old school shop. Great staff. Will return.

Very warm welcome, very friendly staff, lots of choice of dishes and sandwiches, and delicious! Thanks and luck for owners !

If you’re in the neighborhood, a great place for a sandwich

Visit Paul Rothe & Son, a quaint deli that has been family-run since 1900. There's a reason for the massive lunchtime queues: their sandwiches are renowned. Disregard boring chain offerings. A cheese lover's dream come true as white-coated personnel mix up an incredible assortment of fillings, ranging from traditional salt beef to creamy tuna mayo. With its vintage formica tables, caff-style chairs, and jam-filled shelves, these spaces transport you back in time. A feast for the eyes and senses! Paul Rothe & Son is a London institution, much more than just a deli. Strongly advised!

Small, unusual place, where you can eat an unimaginable number of very good homemade sandwiches, on site. The staff is pleasant. The place being small and popular, try to go there at less common times to hope to get a place.

Excellent deli-style sandwich place with lots of fillings. The homemade smoked mackerel paste was absolutely delicious. They have a great range of sauces, mustards, pastes and spreads from all over the world for sale. The diner-style tables were really charming.

Came upon this cafe/deli quite by chance. Delightful. Lovely homemade soup and an excellent range of sandwiches. Can either sit down or take away. 'Old school' in the very best way.

Super friendly Staff and even better food!! Want one of the best sandwiches in London come here!!

When I entered the restaurant the female waitress said YEs .. and she showed me the sign on the wall stupid place arrogant waitress

The best sandwiches in London and not expensive. And super friendly too. Not to be missed.

Great food and place! Excellent hospitality

A Chris Evans recommendation that didn't disappoint

Really good, definitely not the best sandwiches I've had in London but a cool deli that reminds me of a Jewish deli in NYC.

Have walked passed several times and always looked in the window. Finally went in today. Est 1900 and still going strong. Not surprised the sandwiches are fabulous. Highly recommend the fabulous soup and pastrami sandwich, all tasty

Very cool deli in Marlyebone, reminiscent of old school Jewish delis in New York like Barney Greengrass. I had the pastrami, mustard, Swiss cheese and pickle sandwich which, to be frank, was better than most pastrami sandwiches I’ve had in New York (and also about 20% cheaper). It’s tiny, but if you can get a seat, do it - it’s got a lively atmosphere. Great spot to read a chapter of a book while you eat (if you have the time).

Cheap bread bought from a supermarket, overpriced sandwiches. You're better off doing a supermarket sandwich deal at least you get what you pay for with those... £17 for 2 sandwiches you expect a bit of substance. I ordered pastrami and a hot frankfurter, the franks were those cheap nasty £1 from a jar types and slathered with too much sauerkraut and I couldn't taste the pastrami on account of the amount of mustard in it all in all this place left a bad taste in my mouth(pun intended) and I won't be giving them a second chance...

Lovely family run business. Very popular during lunch. Proper tea and very good toasted pastrami sandwich. Opening hours are here to avoid disappointment 😁

You really can’t go wrong here - it’s a great place for a sandwich or jacket potato. I’ve always been lucky and found a seat, even at lunchtime but you do have to join the queue and order before taking a seat. The coronation chicken is absolutely amazing - I keep wanting to try one of the other fabulous array of fillings they offer but just can’t resist it every time!

Love this place, but what a shame they have cut their hours so drastically. I was going to pop in on Saturday but it would appear that they are closed😔

I came in with my wife and a friend who had never been before. We were very lucky to get a table at lunchtime. We shared a pastrami and cheese and a corned beef bap. Both were freshly made and well filled. It isn't the cheapest place but the quality is excellent and the atmosphere is unique.

Family owned sandwich shop now with fourth generation. Welcoming friendly staff. Great pastrami sandwiches made to order with great hot coffee. Highly recommend.

Tasty and fresh sandwiches, affordable price, friendly staff. This place is hidden gem in central London.

계란샌드위치와 양송이스프, 홍차 맛있게 잘먹었어요 다른샌드위치도 먹어보고싶네요

One of a few establishments in London that is evidently owner operated. Friendly, efficient, clean and good quality food - rare in London. They were still accommodating customers at 4pm when it was closing time.

Great sandwich bar with good portions and good hot drinks. A hint of nostalgia in the interior and decor completes a lovely atmosphere. And the food is a good price.

Top notch coronation sandwich and a ‘proper’ cup of tea. Apologies for the bite mark in the pic - I couldn’t wait! Everyone is super cheery and helpful. Who needs Pret when you have Paul and Stephen Rothe making your sandwiches.

Amazing place ..sandwich choice incredible Absolutely delicious great atmosphere Lovely staff

Visiting Marylebone we were looking for somewhere to lunch. In a side street we found a lineup of people standing outside a deli. That generally means good food available! Joining the line, we made our way in a few short minutes into the deli where we were able to find some spare seats. Our lunch soup and macchiato coffee orders were taken and quickly arrived. Just a pleasure to find good food with friendly service with a smile. We will be back on our next visit to London.

Superb deli. Soups are delicious as well.

Aww this place.. I loved. Family run since 1900, friendly staff. Very cute autumny decor with an incredible variety of sandwich fillings to choose from, I couldn’t believe how much choice. I went for coronation chicken which was amazing. Around £6.50 for the quality and the area, is alright. Would definitely return to try some different kinds and hopefully also soup. There is seating inside but seems to get very busy, with a queue outside too but doesn’t seem to take too long to get down.

Very delicious, very friendly, „einfach lecker!“

Best Chicken bacon sandwich in England

I wanted to take a nice hot soup and just found them. Tbh I am tired of recent cheap chains. So I really loved the original atmosphere. The beef stew was really tasty and the toast with juicy butter was very good. I've been living in London for 1 year, but it was definitely the best food I have ever eaten.

Fantastic, affordable sandwich deli in the heart of London's financial district. There is little room for sitting, but when the food is this good, I don't mind. The hummus and sun dried tomato sandwich was to die for and even on a hot day, I opted for the soup of the day which was a cream of broccoli soup. Both tasted very well and satiated my appetite. I will definitely return to try the rest of their menu and eagerly anticipate what their soup of the day will be.

Great traditional city sandwich shop. Sensible prices.

Classic uncomplicated inexpensive and delicious. A real gem in the middle of town. Recommend the egg & anchovy, coronation chicken or pastrami sandwiches. Will be back to try more!

Solid sandwich shop , can highly recommend if your in central London and want a good selection of British sandwiches

Beautiful sandwich shop , the atmosphere is great inside and the sandwiches were amazing .

On a hump day (Wednesday) during our lunch break. My colleague came with this seafood sandwich. I asked him where did you get that sandwich? He told me about this place. I was so intrigued I was dying to find out more about delicatessen sandwiches, which is a rare occurrence in London. Got tired of Subway so I wanted to eat something unique. Anyways, fast forward to Friday - walked inside this cute little vintage sandwich shop currently running by Paul and his son Stephen Rothe (as they’re 3rd-4th generation of this 123 year old establishment) I ordered the popular vegetarian option - Sundried Tomatoes, Swiss Emmental Cheese and Hummus. Tasted great way too delicious I was really impressed. Just the sandwich itself it’s £4. Massive bargain! Downside - They will charge you £0.50 for toasting the bread! Hilarious I know but it’s okay. The drinks on top of that will be around £8 quid. Which is not that bad pricing wise. But there’s no meal deal option. Limited halal options. Only the chicken is halal.

I came in to paul Rothe a son To buy some things It was excellent and the owner and staff were very friendly I will be back again soon The history is also very interesting as well

Excellent food coffee and service with a smile highly recommend this hidden little gem .This is a must find if you are stopping in this area of London

Delicious, custom made sandwiches (you can add whatever you want), staff were really kind and welcoming. Very good value, much much better lunch option than typical spots in London

This is a fantastic family owned/run sandwich shop in the heart of marylebone serving up a fantastic array of lunch options. The sandwiches are fantastic, deep filled, fresh bread with loads of filling choices. I love the coronation chicken. Would highly recommend.

The best for a quick casual lunch

Coolest place in the neighbourhood! Juicy and delicious sandwiches, lovely staff and overall great atmosphere

The most beautiful fillings in London, great atmosphere, smoked mackerel pate, the best
