The Crusty Cob Sandwich Bar in Nottingham

Nice Cobs well filled with good staff

I recently ordered a full English breakfast from The Crusty Cob Shop, swapping out the bacon and sausages for vegan options. I was really looking forward to a hearty meal, but what I got was anything but satisfying. First off, the packaging was a disaster. When it arrived, it was leaking everywhere—the bag was soaked, and it made a mess before I even opened it. Not exactly the best first impression. Inside, the food was haphazardly thrown together, all squashed and unappealing. As for the meal itself, it was just plain disappointing. The vegan sausages were bland and had this strange, grainy texture that was hard to get past. The eggs were cold and rubbery, almost like they'd been cooked hours before and left sitting out. The toast was so limp and soggy that it was more like wet bread than anything else. The mushrooms were watery and lacked any real taste, and the hash browns were overly greasy to the point of being inedible. Honestly, this didn't feel like an English breakfast at all. Every component was poorly prepared and lacked flavour. It was clear that no care went into making this meal enjoyable. I was left feeling pretty let down, and I definitely won't be ordering from here again.

Great breakfast cob will definitely be going back

A fine sandwich indeed. And very friendly folks. Excellent.

Ordered from uber eats and there were hairs all over my cob and inside, absolutely disgusting. Dread to imagine the state of the where this was prepared. It wasn’t cheap either, for a cob and a coffee it was almost £14 which I couldn’t really afford but thought it would be a nice treat- ended up in the bin and I was almost sick. I would not recommend purchasing anything from here. I have contacted the store via email and would love to hear back as to what whoever runs this place thinks of this because it’s not acceptable.

Me and my Sister took a visit here today after having her nails done. I had a small bacon, chicken and cheese cob which was HUGE and my sister had a tuna and cheese tostie. It was so nice!! aswell as a chocolate orange beeston brownie!! It was also so affordable aswell as being so tasty! The two ladies that served us were so lovely and welcoming, it was such a nice part of our day. We will definitely be returning!

Great food at a very reasonable price well worth a visit and the staff are friendly

Visiting from Nashville TN and loved this little shop. Service was lovely. Everyone was friendly and our cobs were delish!

Honestly so nice i order a ham cob alot and whenever i go into a store to buy coke its never cold but yours always impresses me 💕

Updated 18/02/24 It as Improve a lot Edit 24/4/24 staff is rude will not be going back

Great breakfast sandwiches, brownies are also recommended not tried any other sandwiches but there is plenty of filling choices to choose from

Love the place good is brillient

Great food and a really broad range of hot and cold available. Staff always so friendly. Excellent value too.

Really polite staff. Food came fast and was delicious. Recommend it to whoever us close to visit.

Fantastic breakfast cobs Staff lovely and helpful Will be back if in Notts

The staff were friendly, and the burger was delicious. While sharing similar prices to McDonald's, the quality cannot be compared. Ive literally never seen such a large burger patty, and on top of that, there were generous but balanced portions of other ingredients too. Unfortunately there is very limited seating, but they do offer take out and delivery. All in all it was a treat of an experience to eat here, and i highly recomend it.

Had an Amazing bacon cob great banter and a lovely Coffee can’t wait to go back!

We order from The Crusty Cob semi-frequently with work - despite it being a large order, they always hit the nail on the head with fabulous cobs. Definitely our favourite place for breakfast cobs!

Small little cafe for takeout orders. I had a breakfast roll with bacon sausage and egg and a tuna Mayo roll. Both really good value for money (about 8 quid in total). If I could recommend an improvement on the sausage quality but that would be the only thing.

Great food at reasonable prices. Staff were very friendly even although the phone was constantly ringing. Sat outside in the sun for a couple of minutes before it was ready. Highly recommended 👌

Astounding. I bought a large Bacon roll with two Hash Browns on the way to the office. I now know this is HUGE - more than double the size of the McDonalds equivalent, but still cheaper and so much fresher with quality bacon. They also have an Espresso machine so quality coffee while you wait. The only downside is parking - it may be tricky to find a non-permit space after 8am.

Just having a walk and decided to pick up 2x special breakfast baps. Glad I did very nice 😊

Fab little place, perfect while waiting for an MOT... There's a few tables outside to sit

Tried this place to try and cure the hangover! I had t he vegetarian breakfast tray (not on the menu). It hit the spot and great value!! My only improvement would be the sausages were more like stuffing

Brilliant place to grab your lunch. Friendly staff, awesome cobs.

Lovely soft cobs good portion sizes Friendly staff

Absolutely disgusted.i ordered via ubereats and i got a totally wrong order. I rang them and they stated my order ticket ended up in the bin. I will never order from here again.

Lived down the road from this place for over a year and only just discovered them and happy I did. Absolutely top quality

Bit dirty inside and quite pricey but not much else like that round there.

We ordered breakfast on our last day of work before Christmas as a treat and it was just that !! Lovely breakfast cobs and breakfast trays with really good delivery. We might have to make it regular. Thank you and Merry Christmas

Lovely place , very friendly staff!

Friendly staff, tasty and decently priced food!

Not many quality English cafe shops around anymore this one I wish I could go back to a few more times. Very well priced even with inflation.

The best cob shop in Nottingham without a doubt staff are fantastic food is delightful

Fantastic place best cobs ever staff brilliant manger is friendly definitely go and eat here it is fantastic

It doesn't look the best but it absolutely tastes amazing

The cob was lovely, Eaten outside the shop in the sun, lovely!

Update Review. Been going here for a while now and I just can't fault the service quality or price. Family business and it really shows the standard and hard work is so good I would recommend this place to anyone. A real gem of a business 5☆ all day long.

We use crusty cob as our go to for office lunches and breakfast. Amazing service and quality food from Danni and Andy. My favorites are the brie and cranberry cob, special breakfast cob and jacket potato with chill n cheese. Served hot to your doorstep. Thank you guys for the excellent and prompt service.

This little Gem on Castle Boulevard is the place to be… amazing food with a lot to choose from… quality is unparalleled. Delivery service is quick. Staff professional and polite. Overall 5 star…. ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

best breakfast in Nottingham, would recommend 100% & friendly staff

Ordered via Deliveroo a few times now but always the same. Under cooked chips (not sure how you get that consistently wrong…) and soft baps which aren’t all that special. (Where’s the crusty cobs?). Given up,since Deliveroo feedback ignored (and had fairly low ratings from others already) and not improving anytime soon. Shame because good opening hours and fairly quick delivery.

Been a few times now, really friendly people, and the cobs are absolutely to die for, generous amount of filling, good quality thick bacon and beautiful juicy sausages, would recommend 😁

Best sausage Cops in town! Been going the past month and can’t stop!! 10/10

Anyone in the area in the morning is missing out for not using this cob shop. The staff are so friendly always welcoming. The food has always been good and I had the gingerbread latte the other day and wanted to go back and get another after taking a single sip. Great work to all at the cob shop. Highly recommended

We had The Crusty Cob Shop to cater one of our conferences. Everybody was very happy with the quality and quantity of food. All last minute as well! Thank you again!

Working in Nottingham for 4 days and then managed to find this place, wish I had found it sooner. Fantastic breakfast, very nice staff. Definitely recommend the crusty cob, 5🌟👌 thanks again James and Fi 😊

This has to be one of the best cob shops in Nottingham city, always 10/10 in quality and customer service is fantastic

Ordered for delivery, came super quickly to work and food was great 😌 also the gent on delivery was very friendly! Altogether perfect!

Love the crusty cobb food always hits the spot and James is lovely he takes care of us when we are hungover ☺️

First time we visited here today and purchased 4 breakfast trays and omg they were delicious cooked to perfection. We shall deffinately be returning again.. Friendly staff too and very polite felt very welcomed. Thankyou..

I have used the cob shop for many years not in a long time under new management I had two breakfast delivered today and was so disappointed with the sausage you are now using felt they had no meat in them which let's it down as the rest was great.

Needed somewhere fast to cure a breakfast craving and this place did not disappoint. Hot fresh food served fast and with a smile.

Great and quick service. We had a great selection and all was delicious. Delighted and so happy with the whole experience of the fathers day afternoon tea. Definitely recommend. Thanks guys xx

Brilliant to see the new owners taking the place to new heights.

Really good menu with lots of options, hot and cold. All food made right in front of you. Great prices and friendly service! Recommended

Me and my work friends work on a points system and we rate every cob shop we go 2 ... solid 10/10 for crusty cob !!! See you again next friday!!! 🤤😍

Lots of delicious options, including plenty for vegetarians. Speedy service and good price. Would like to see a few more vegan options.

Fab food, great service, even better prices. Will go again.

Fantastic, massive cobs, quality ingredients and very inexpensive!

Delicious, affordable food and made even better with the addition of other local brands, The Beeston Brownie Company and 200 Degrees 🥰

First time using this cob shop but won't be the last beautiful freshly made cobs very clean place friendly staff and couldn't of been more helpful very good value for your money would give higher rating if possible

Absolutely amazing!!! So tasty I can't wait to go again can't recommend more highly. Happy friendly quick no nonsense service. Very happy thanks so much see you soon 👍

The food was cooked to perfection and the bacon, sausages and eggs tasted delicious. I havent had such a good cob in a long time. Will definately go back soon. Thanks so much. Really enjoyed the whole experience, the staff were nice too. Spot on.

This is a great Cob Shop. The food was cooked to perfection. The bacon and sausages were amazing and I loved the cob I had. The eggs were runny like I normally have too. Thanks so much. I would highly recommended this place. Amazing food and people. Pure quality and very reasonably priced.

Excellent Sandwich Bar. Highly recommend

Great sandwiches and cobs My go to place for a decent brekky cob. Fantastic service and thoroughly nice people behind the counter, they even deliver 😍

Every day morning breakfast food and normal sandwiches

Best breakfast cob shop around and great price too. Sausage Egg & Mushroom cob with red sauce for the win :) many thanks we will be back.

Cracking butty shop, bacon and sausage is bang on. Quick service, nice staff. Reasonable prices. Highly recommended.

Loved it. Cheap prices and lovely sandwiches. While working in Nottingham for a month I was here 4 times a week at least.

Have also been for years. Sandwiches made to order, unbeatable price and friendly staff. Plus they even rescue my bike when I left it there unattended.

I have been using this cob shop for years, always good food and friendly staff

Our orders were all very satisfactory, whether cooked or cold. Order tea cakes and you get two! Filled sandwiches were well filled, the cheese scone was warmed, cooked meals were piping hot. Drinks were equally good. Superb value for money. The servers coped with our large group extremely well, especially as some arrived late. Overall really impressive. The negative is there is only one loo. And that would be ok ....But it takes an absolute age for the cistern to fill. Even waiting ten minutes failed to make it flush correctly. So even if we'd been a group of 4 this would be an issue. If that was sorted this is a definite 5 star and highly recommended.

The gigantic bacon, sausage, and egg cob literally saved my life after finishing night shifts. Thanks :)

asked for a ham roll with mustard all i got was 1 wafer thin slice of ham!!!!!!! and plenty of mustard if i had not driven out of the area i would have gone back! very disappointed Never to return

i found some clags in my bap lol. bale loves it up the bum

Fuimos a buscar una mazorca de bacon. He estado antes y siempre pensé que estaba bien. Sin embargo, esta vez entré en otro momento, entre el desayuno y el almuerzo.La señora estaba afuera fumando, ella entró justo después de que entré. Ella tomó mi orden, no se lavó las manos ni se puso guantes.Mientras ella estaba haciendo mi mazorca, el tipo entró y comenzó a hacer pedidos de sándwich. Fue desde afuera, a leer las órdenes, a preparar las órdenes. No se lava las manos ni usa guantes. También noté que usan sus manos desnudas para recoger las verduras para colocar los sándwiches, así como las carnes frías. Eso no es bueno para nadie que sea vegetariano.No comí mi mazorca después de presenciar todo esto.Me desilusionó de visitar de nuevo y lamentar profundamente los últimos años que he estado comiendo allí.

Lovely food £2.50 for a massive breakfast bap

Every Friday i order cobs for my work, this ranges anywhere from 10-30 cobs, they always come warm and are top notch

Order cobs from here every half term for my work. all the staff love the breakfast cobs and look forward to cob day They do an amazing job would recommend to anyone great value for money £2.50 for a breakfast cob

Es lo que se espera, un montón de comida cocinada rápidamente a un buen precio.Conseguir el desayuno y mazorcas cajas normales, lo que quieras.Cob cob especial en una crujiente crujiente es mi favorito.Funcionaba una puerta algunos y todos los chicos fuimos cada día

DO NOT EAT HERE, ABSOLUTLEY DISGUSTING. STAFF TOUCH THE FOOD AND DO NOT WASH THEIR HANDS. STAFF SNEEZE AROUND THE FOOD AND DO NOT WASH THEIR HANDS. NO HAIR NETS ARE WORN. ITS JUST A VILE AND DIRTY ESTABLISHMENT. WISH THERE WAS AN OPTION FOR NO STARS

Excellent food, great portion sizes and great prices. Customer service could occasionally be better, but with how quickly they prepare food and the fact they aren't outright rude it doesn't really spoil anything.

Regular visitor to this little bit of breakfast heaven. Great value because the portions are massive.

El servicio deja mucho que desear para ser sincero. Generalmente este lugar atiende a workies que probablemente no te importa estar gruñó por el personal, pero preferiría que te traten como un ser humano.La comida no es muy buena pero viene en enormes porciones ... nuevamente, genial para workies y similares, pero no es mi taza de té. bastante baratos, dos desayunos masivo baps para bajo una fiver.
