Petes Sandwich Bar in Shropshire

Lush salads for the troop - To take into work to keep us healthy order at 8am ready to collect! We have the sandwiches and picky tray cakes for home! Absolutely wonderful very very fresh and tasty 😋. Thankyou petes cafe !

Stopped for a sandwich, cake and coffee. Very busy so outside, everything was good and all for £10 great value. A better coffee machine would make it even better.

As a regular visitor to Ellesmere I have often walked past Petes, it looks inviting, always busy, great display of cakes in the window. Today friends were in the area so decided to meet up at Petes to see what the fuss was about for lunch. Busy at the counter but towards the rear of the cafe empty tables. We sat, had friendly banter with the staff, ordered the Pete big mac burger, chips, brie and cranberry pannini, egg and chips, cheesecake tomato quiche with chips. All were piping hot and delicious! What were couldn't believe was the price! Very reasonable and value for money. Took one of their delicious looking jam and cream scones to take out for my dog sitter, she said it was 10/10, best ever! Will definitely be back, highly recommended.

Lovely little find. We were staying just out of Ellesmere and wanted to find somewhere for breakfast. Pete’s sandwich shop was great plus we left with a few bits of cake and tray bake they sell which were delicious. The staff were really friendly and happy to accommodate our fussy breakfast swaps

Excellent Breakfast and just what hungry boater needed. Good service and great portion size and value for money could not fault

The staff were outstanding, made my wife and my self feel like locals. All their food looked amazing and the food we tried had us coming back. We needed advice on local vendors in town and they supplied the information we needed again Outstanding. Following on fb for ideas on sandwiches etc.

Very nice staff polite and the food is excellent and a very clean cafe we had homemade curry and it was fantastic thank you all for the service

My favourite place to take friends for breakfast, lunch or coffee & CAKES !! Super friendly, huge choice for breakfasts, sandwiches hot & cold drinks. There cakes are amazing, if I have people staying I often buy cakes, quiches & sausage rolls. So fresh & delicious.

Had a very tasty filled bap, sausage roll & cake to take away for my lunch. Very reasonably priced and good staff. Always bustling.

Fantastic place to stop for a breakfast ahead of a meeting. Open early, felt like I was in a hotel. Community feel and great food (veggie sausage and egg, orange juice and coffee). Well priced and friendly. Haven't enjoyed a cafe this much for ages and it was open at 8:30 unlike so many British food outlets. Felt like I was abroad; superb👏👏👏

amazing food every time, today i had a take out breakfast it was piping hot still when i got home and was delicious! cakes are amazing too. kelsey is a lovely member off staff!

One of the best places to eat in Shropshire, lovely atmosphere when you walk in, you really get the sense of family and togetherness. I was made to feel at home as soon as I walked through the doors. the staff were all friendly and happy to help, nothing was too much trouble for them. I purchased the kinder Bueno brownie and double decker tiffin and when I tell you I have neve felt such sensations in my mouth. it was like a rainbow had gone off in my mouth. absolutely stunning. 10/10 recommend.

Gosh I’ve been ordering at 8am collect 20 minutes later to take for work colleagues .always fabulous food , enjoying the coronation chicken wraps and baps at the moment with a great slice of tiffin ! Perks everyone up ! Always fresh food, bread, wraps and salad . Thankyou guys .

Our go to cafe when in Ellesmere last year i ordered a sticky toffee wreath and also a Terry chocolate orange brownie tray and the were worth every single penny. Breakfasts are also fab as well as there curry,chips and rice. And honestly dont get me started on the deli counter.

We had the big Pete’s breakfast. Absolutely amazing. The deli looks and taste amazing too. The cakes look out of this world 😍 The staff are very helpful and always make sure your ok. Very highly recommended. 😊 See you all again 😘

Average place. I have been in on several occasions if me and my partner don’t simply have the time to cook food between work etc. The food is just average, nothing special, it could be done better. The wait time is what really let’s the place down. For a panini and a cake I have waited 40 minutes before… and then the order came back wrong. Unfortunately in ElleSmere there is nowhere that is similar if you want a take out sandwhich where you can ask what to be put it in. I agree with a previous comment about “clicky” people get served quicker. It is definitely true.. If you’re not known to go in there you will be stared down upon and not have the best experience

Called in here after asking if there was a sandwich shop in Ellesmere, had a ham salad roll to take out, and bought 2 brownie ? Looking things for my daughters, to take home. The place seemed very"clicky" I think the unfamiliar faces have to wait. The young man who served me, didn't have any manners, no please/ thank you, nothing. Absolutely awful customer service. People sat outside eating on the tiny 2 or 3 tables. My ham salad bap was like this... horrid margarine flavour, over the ham, which tasted of nothing, flat cheap lettuce leaf, and soggy tasteless tomato. It went in the bin. I then got a lovely sandwich in Gillhams , Oswestry, fresh made in front of me, perfect . Then I wished I had waited to buy cakes for my teenage kids, they looked lovely. At home I presented the kids with their brownies, they weighed heavy! The kids tried them and didn't want them, they could have made them better. Thick, stodgy, not brownies, but like a stale wedge of very dry chocolate cake, not nice chocolate . With a thick layer of fudge stuff on top, they were insipidly sweet, and horrid. Never again.

Went in for a quick bite at lunchtime. My wife had double egg and chips £2.50 and I had double egg bacon and chips £3.50 and there were 4 rashers. The place had a lot of locals in, which is always a good sign. The public car park was about 50 yards away. The food freshly cooked was done to perfection. It is not a grand superior place, but if you want to eat lovely at exceptional prices, look no further 33.

Had sandwich boxes at work and loved it, Plenty of savoury and sweet, With the best spicy scotch egg I've ever had!! Will definitely go back.

Best cafe on the planet ! Breakfast choices unbelievably and cooked to perfection - friendly staff and locals ! Highly recommended.

My partner & I called in here while on a cycle ride . We had a great lunch . This is how all cafes should be . The pie , chips , peas & gravy were spot on . Friendly staff & regulars . We will be back .

This cafe was recommended to us thru friends for an afternoon tea, popped into the shop to see the choice of cakes in the counter, couldn’t believe the choice! Ordered chocolate brownie, biscoff cookie pie, Victoria sponge, Sticky toffee cake and a stunning white chocolate...

Called here for a quick sandwich travelling through. Very obvious they put locals first. Nice selection of cakes in the counter, so took a couple home. A piece of brownie, and a tiffin thing . The brownie looked good, when my son bit into it...

A great cafe in the middle of Ellesmere opens at 0730 so perfect for breakfast and the most fantastic baps to take away for lunch and apparently the new coffee machine arrives very soon

Popped in at lunchtime and it was busy but we found room to sit down. Lovely homemade cakes and scones plus various sizes of breakfasts. Only downside was NO toilet.

I called in here to buy rolls etc to take out. There were about 6-8 people sitting at the tables chatting and one lady in front of myself, who was actually being served. Unfortunately, after waiting for about 8-10 minutes neither of the assistants appeared...

Called again today with my mother in law for lunch… bacon sandwich was fab as always along with the service. Always a firm favourite for a cuppa or something to eat when shopping in ellesmere. Love the takeaway sandwiches too.. always a huge selection

I ordered a picnic box for my sisters birthday from Petes and it was amazing. It had fresh wraps, sandwiches, sausage rolls, olives, pasta, cake and even cans of pop to wash it down. Really easy to pre order over the phone and amazing food...

Just ask . They are so talented for taste buds. Service with a smile 😃. They get up so early to make everything fresh and the food is so exciting . Tickle those taste buds . Absolutely amazing

During in Covid I’ve been able to order a fresh salad collection . Meats are fabulous well presented . Get excited on a Salad . Cake pots after great idea lush xx well worth it

We were holidaying in the area and had seen reviews of Petes Sandwich Bar. We were not disappointed. Great sausage rolls! They also had a wide offering of other sweet and savoury items!

I knew a Pete from living in the Town but now live in Ramsey HUNTINGDON Cambs (UK). I was informed that Annabel and Christie in addition to the cafe business run a meals for elderly persons during weekdays. As my elderly father was struggling with...

Been to this place a few times now always good service and the food is great you can sit down or take away may have to wait if there is a lot of customers

I always pop in for something to eat, the staff are friendly and always greet you with a smile. The food itself is always freshly cooked and nothing is ever to much trouble. If your looking for a beautiful drip birthday cake then ask to...

Amazing baps/ sandwiches/ paninis/ quiches/ salads/ stews/ soups/ pastries! Also incredible cakes/ tray bakes/ brownies/ cookie dough !

Called in for late breakfast. Waited ages for someone to be behind the counter to order food, waitress was looking miserable who served me. Ordered a mighty and midi breakfast but seem to be more on the midi then the mighty so gave my partner...

Stopped for a takeaway sandwich. Turkey, stuffing & cranberry on multi-grain was delicious! Will be back!

After a walk round the mere we walked into the town to discover Petes Sandwich Bar and all I can say is wow! My husband and 2 kids were spoilt for choice with sandwiches and hot food. We stocked up with freshly made baguettes, hot and cold drinks and even a cake each which we’re all homemade. The food was exceptional and service was great also. Nothing was to much trouble, my son a very fussy eater usually struggles to find something in a shop like this but the young girl behind the counter made such an effort to make sure he came away with something. We will definitely be visiting again when in the area, just wish we lived closer!

I had a coffee outside Petes and as it was cold I left for the boathouse pub for breakfast as that's dog-friendly as I vote with my dog its a little puppy Maltese chihuahuawhen some cafe owners have dogs of there own they will understand that they are better than people its a shame so shame on you Pete

This traditional English cafe is more than just a sandwich bar and is more of a "diner" where full (or partial) English breakfast amongst other basic meals can be enjoyed at any time of the day from 8am onwards. One of my favourite breakfasts or light snack is grilled chopped onion and English cheese on freshly baked toast. The cafe has a fast take away service where a multitude of sandwiches or filled "baps" or baguettes can be purchased, stuffed with an assortment of freshly made ingredients. This includes vegetarian & salad options as well as traditional cheese, chicken, beef & other meats.Also available are a whole range of home cooked cakes and other delicacies to delight the eye as well as the pocket.I thoroughly recommend this establishment. Tip: enjoy an English breakfast tea with your meal!

Popped into Petes to grab something for lunch before work. I’d seen that they have been advertising their new ranges of freshly made quiche and decided to give the new festive option a try. It’s not something I would ever have thought of being a quiche filling but my goodness their turkey stuffing and cranberry quiche is simply amazing! All homemade and fresh along with an abundance of freshly made baps, panini’s, baguettes, sandwiches and cakes it’s the perfect stop off to fill a hungry tum.

Always a friendly welcome and great choice of meals, snacks, and cakes. A great place to meet locals and to find out more about the town and surrounding areas.

We called at Pete’s cafe whilst the Christmas parade was happening and we must say that the food and service was excellent. Definitely worth a visit.

Excellent service, staff and food. Very good value for money and always served with a smile. The cakes are delicious!!! 😍

Staff are friendly and welcoming and go above and beyond. Food is fantastic and made to the highest standard. Kelsey has made us numerous of cakes which have looked phenomenal and tasted absolutely delicious!

I visit Petes cafe every morning with my boyfriends nan and my little boy for a coffee, the serve is always amazing and the staff always have a smile on there faces, they never moan or grumble about what you order or if you want something making up they are always happy to help

I have been going to Pete’s cafe for about 10 years and have always found the staff friendly and helpful to everyone who comes in. The food is excellent and they’ll help you if you have allergies of any sort.

If you visit Ellesmere make sure you drop in at this cafe, after a lovely autumn walk by the mere and canal, we had a great meal and hot drink here. Brilliant prices for delicious hearty food, and the staff were really friendly. The cakes were too tempting, I had to have more than one! great place, definitely going back on our next day out to feed the ducks!

Great cafe, in the centre of town, offering a wide selection of family favourite meals, delicious fresh made cakes and tasty takeaway sandwiches. What makes this cafe so special is the lovely staff, who are always super helpful and friendly. The coffee is great too! See you again soon!

I reviewed Pete's back in August and gave what I considered to be constructive criticism regarding one particular member of staff who had refused, on two separate occasions, to make up a 'one-off' sandwich for me. I considered it a great pity given I have been buying their delicious sandwiches for over 20 years (and eaten hot food on numerous occasions sitting inside) and always had good service with staff more than willing to make up 'one off' sandwiches. In August i gave them a ' 2 rating' as I feel customer service is paramount to any business serving the public.

Have been buying their delicious, tasty sandwiches for many years and they are usually happy to make up 'one off' sandwiches while you wait. Regrettably, one particular member of staff has refused to provide this service on the last two occasions I popped in which is so disappointing as they usually offer great , reasonably priced food with a smile! What a pity this particular staff member has a different understanding of 'customer service' to the rest of her colleagues. Decided to rate it a 'two' as I feel customer service is paramount to business serving the public.

A real one off. Basic food but good and cheap. Friendly they know all the regulars and there are many. The sort of place that you could find in the 60s. Brill. Veg and vegan available. Excellent value and fun . Seats a bit small. Thanks. Unforgettable. xxx

I have been here few times lately. You are met with a warm welcome and friendly staff. Always community spirit in here and you often see same faces on certain days. Varied,affordable menu and luvly home cooked food.

Great value for money. Friendly family team. Lovely home made cooking. Excellent customer service. Delicious home made cakes, tiffin Beautiful counter display

Fortunate to have this as a local breakfast spot. Midi breakfast with all the essentials including hash browns and black pudding . The doorstop proper sliced toast is a must. Greasy spoon prices but definitely not a greasy spoon cafe. Great service, friendly staff. Love this place.

Always worth a review this place. I use Pete’s cafe most days. Last week I had the chilli chicken salad box. Loved it. I also love the homemade cakes in the counter top. Lemon drizzle for me 😍

Although we have visited Ellesmere on a few occasions in the past we had not eaten here, but a friend recommended it.

visited this establishment for breakfast. We ordered a bacon and tomatoe sandwich and a sausage cheese and tomatoe sandwich. I asked for the sausages on my husbands sandwich to be sliced and the cheese melted and tinned tomatoe so the sandwich would be moist as he has a dry mouth through radiotherapy treatment. This was accepted rather grudgingly but when taken to the kitchen a voice was heard to say very loudly in front of a café full of customers What the hells that. Your sandwiches are lovely but sadly your staff need to learn manners and consideration or keep their mouth shut. My husband was very embarrassed. Will not be calling again

Mi hija y yo metimos en este café hoy para un almuerzo ligero que consistía de un pavo bap y Cornish pasty y tartas de albaricoque.

Las ventanas están siempre al vapor y el mismo chico viejo que está sentado en la esquina leyendo el periódico.

Mejor descrito como "vieja escuela" en el mejor sentido del término, Café pete un café tradicional inglés hasta las Mesas de formica completa con azúcar de bolos y salsa de tomate. La comida es lo que usted esperaría de "inglés completo" a toda la gama de artículos de desayuno disponibles individualmente en panecillos o sándwiches. Durante todo el día una gran variedad de platos principales están disponibles desde sopa del día a la excelente tartas y empanadas de la panadería de al lado!

Pete's es un sellado permanente en la cafetería Ellesmere. Sirve sándwiches y comida caliente decente, aunque el desayuno es un poco caro ahora que es de esperar con la situación financiera actual. Servicio generalmente buena pero un poco lenta cuando se llenaba. Me he olvidado...

Petes cafe never fails on its breakfast ,hot,plenty of it!!!nice choice of homemade cakes,take out food nice homemade baps and salads to take out and coffee to go!!!

Good basic no nonsense food.great portions. Tables bit squashed up.Service quick.kept clean.attentive staff.good value.

I visited Pete's at the weekend with some friends and was very disappointed, several of our orders were wrong and the waiting time was ridiculous. The woman that served us was slow and uninterested and made you feel like she couldn't be bothered. Perhaps it would be in the best interest of your business to remind your staff that being friendly and accommodating is an important part of customer service and could play a large role in whether someone returns or not.

Excellent array of well proportioned baps. The service is always excellent and the food is great value for money

If what you're after is a decent bacon but tie or an all day breakfast this is the place to comeTake way or eat in Popular with lots of regulars

Wow! What a gem. Stumbled on this by luck. We're visiting Vermeulen's next door which produce the World's greatest Pork Pies. My wife had Sweet Chilli Chicken salad while I had a chicken wrap. We finished with individual homemade lemon meringue pie. All was stunning.Even better was the price! Fabulous value for money.Needless to say it was packed.

This cafe is great for breakfast, lunch or tea, or just popping in for a coffee to the lovely takeout range of sandwiches and homemade cakes.

Ate here a few years ago and it was shockingly bad but it has been revamped and has improved tremendously! Food is good quality and their range of breakfasts cater for all appetites from human to starving giant! The toast is fabulous. Food is ordered at the counter then brought to the table.

Grabbed some lunch on my way through here and I was not disappointed. The food was great and brilliant value for money and the staff were very helpful especially one member of staff Kaela who's name I picked up with many customers being friendly with her .

Value for money.....Be careful what you ask for.The full English is a serious plate full.All i can add is that you will not come out of there hungry.

Had lunch with a colleague here. Quite a selection of warm and cold food. Place was full when we arrived but other visitors where just about to leave so lucky with a table inside. Ordered fish and chips which tasted good. Fresh salad en crispy chips. Food was served quickly also.No idea of the price since I didn't pay :-) but had the impression price was reasonable.

I've been going to Pete's for years and years, it's a part of Ellesmere! Top staff, top place, top fry up, top baps and it just keeps getting better! Loving the new look too.

Popped in for a bacon sandwich. Had to wait an hour before it arrived and then had to ask where it was. Staff too busy talking in the back. Some people where getting served first and had come in after I had. Won't be going there again. Bread was black from the burnt bacon.

The at petes cafe is spot on me and my work mate come here when we are in ellsmere for the midi breakfast, the service here is excellent, we traval around and go to other cafe but petes cafe is top and makes all cafe breakfast look and taste bad

This is a great little stop off, which I visit regularly (any excuse really). Always buzzing, with cooked to order breakfasts, and lovely coffee, and toast to die for, at such a great price. With Eccles cakes the size of plates, and a range of take out goodies too, this place never disappoints. I think owners Annabelle and Christy are part of the family who own the fantastic bakers and deli next door (Vermeulens) - just one reason everything is such high quality. Try and get a seat, no problem if tables are occupied, it's all so friendly you can plonk yourself down anywhere. A good laugh, great food, and service.

This is exactly what the great English breakfast is about! The perfect fry up! Among a lot of other dishes! Daily specials! Loads of food and drink choice! Staff: Always a delight! Happy to help! Nothing is too much effort fro them! So reasonably priced! And what you get for your money is more than acceptable! Will return time and time again! Thanks ladies at Petes! Keep up the good work!

Great staff, great food and most of all great reasonable prices! Fantastic range of foods and bap fillings! The curry is all home made and is so tasty and filling! Cakes are home made too or from the bakery next door! The place has such a warm feeling about it and the staff are extremely welcoming which is always a bonus!! Can't wait to come back again for a chilli pasty and chips! Yum!

If I could give it a six star I definitely would!! Amazing food, great atmosphere and very friendly service! Highly recommend

Lovely place! Amazing food for good prices and the staff are very kind. It's worth a visit when you're in Ellesmere! Filling food and lovely hot drinks.The place is small and cosy and refurbished beautifully. Modern touches and nice to look at. Variety of choices from sweet to savoury. A good menu, however you're always welcome to change what is on the menu to something you prefer. The staff are always in a good mood and are happy to help with any issues.

If you want to eat and drink without feeling out of pocket this is the place. There are always a variety of meals on offer and there are always plenty of customers at the tables enjoying them. Everything's fresh and good. There are no frills however - it's a caff as we remember them from the sixties and seventies. If you go with the right expectations you will be very satisfied.

Always the wrong order when I go to collect it from my order over the phone. I decided to mention it with a member of staff, wish I hadn't bothered, how embarrassing for the girl that lost her temper with me in front of the customers in the cafe and the rest of the staff. However a senior member of staff later apologised. Beware you do not get much fillings in your butties ... For what they charge The cakes n savouries and the staff in the cake shop are so friendly, worth a visit. The sherry mince pies are heaven X

Lovely little place to stop for a bite to eat and a warm drink while Xmas shopping. I've heard the breakfasts are good too but not tried them yet so I will be back to do so

I had a hot turkey nap for lunch today, it was absolutely yummy, everything I have from there always is, the staff are really lovely too !! x x

Had a group booking order today fantastic food great service wonderful staff would definitely be ordering again and would definitely go and sit in to eat too , would highly recommend it to friends and family

I visit this cafe at least one a week of not more! The food is always fantastic, quick and tasty! The prices are more than reasonable! Especially for what you get!Staff are always friendly and more than happy to help! They will do anything to cater for your needs! If in Ellesmere you must visit!

Had our usual Christmas order today as we break up from work & it was as excellent as ever. We order the day before and collect at the busiest time of day but nothing is too much trouble.Turkey baps all round!!

We went for a lovely family breakfast, the service at the counter was great and the food was fantastic. However our trip was ruined by one employee who was not only rude to us but other customers, and other employees due to what appeared to be mix ups with the ordering ( judging by her comments). We felt extremely uncomfortable when we politely asked for some toast that we had ordered and hadn't arrived. She asked us for a copy of our ticket which was still behind the counter. So she came back with the missing item to which she said "here is the toast you didn't pay for" when she put it down. If we hadn't paid then this was an error when the order was taken, we would have happily paid but we had to leave due to being made to feel so uncomfortable. She also made a comment to my deaf brother after having shouting his order out because he couldn't hear her the first time- due to his hearing impairment. All in all great food but we won't visit again due to the attitude of that one individual. Please give her some customer service and disability awareness training as soon as possible before any more customers leave upset by her attitude. All this for two slices of toast, extremely disappointed.

This cafe is a gem in Ellesmere. We spotted it when driving thru Ellesmere town, managed to park close by at about 9.45am. We were lucky to get in early as it was not long before the place was really busy. There are sufficient tables to sit, and there always seemed to be a seat available. The menu is varied and so reasonably priced, we had the mini breakfast of sausage, bacon, egg and beans with toast and there was plenty of it for £2.40 just amazing value. The staff are friendly and helpful despite being busy. Cannot recommend this eating place highly enough, best value we have had in a long time. They also do outside catering. I have put this as cheap eats but of course some dishes were maybe £4.50 not sure how to define mid range.

A small and cute cafe, were staff are very helpful and smiling, always like to have a chat, you can eat in or take away

Took my family here for breakfast near the end of our holiday. Great food, friendly service, and very good prices.My only comment would be that the breakfast menu could be a little larger, it's very hard to see what in on each of the three sizes of full English they do.My wife had a the vegetarian breakfast and commented on how lovely the veg sausages were.My full English was perfectly cooked, and there was plenty of it. Oh and the toast was outstanding, lovely bread.I would definitely go back.

Well deserves its local excellent reputation. My breakfast bacon bap was properly crispy, as requested, and the tea came in a big mug, poured from a pot on the counter. Old school.

Rear full English breakfast! And looking at lunch to go! Tip buy your lunch to go before breakfast just so You get a good fill, open for all healthy too!

First class food at very reasonable prices recently refurbished staff always friendly and helpful they can make a sandwich to your liking if it's not already available many special deals and lovely cakes on offer never disappoints

What else can I say but....Nom nom nom nom!!!! Excellent, fresh, tasty reasonable priced. Loads of lovely options to have in your sandwiches.

Met by a lovely lady called Kaela who could not do enough for us. Food was cooked fresh and was very good. Will definitely go again. Very good experience.

Pete's is the first choice for breakfast & lunchtime food - especially as I am always in a rush. Bacon sarnies are the best for miles! Grab a filled roll from Pete's for lunch & you will enjoy the taste of good bread & good fillings - and plenty of it.

On a visit to Ellesmere while away for a few days needed a snack and hot drink food great one of the best coffee l had while away and at a price that was affordable wish Petes sandwich bar traded were we live well done

I've been going to Pete's Sandwich Bar for years. There is always a warm welcome & it's always so so busy. The prices are extremely reasonable and the portion sizes are more than enough. The girls have recently worked really hard on a new refurb and it looks so inviting! Definitely worth a visit in the morning for a bacon bap or midday for a milkshake before a visit to the mere :-)
