THE PICNIC BASKET in County Durham

Best sandwiches in Durham I’m Obsessed. Peach ice tea is very flavourful and refreshing too

Amazing sarnies! Just needed a bigger belly to eat more! Excellent

Really lovely sandwich selection, good varied choice and both mine and partners were really tasty and well presented. Brill value! Thanks for the freebies ❤️

“Mixed Grill in a Bun” was amazing.

Lovely oat flat white and friendly service.

Sandwiches were absolutely lovely and loved the dragon fruit and mango cooler! Will definitely be a returning customer :)

I had a breakfast sausage, bacon and egg with cheese and it was great, quality products; Even the egg mayo I grabbed for lunch time tasted fresh 🙂

Delivered on time, hot and tasty. Highly recommended.

Lovely sarnies served by lovely people. X

Lovely sandwich - had the thai bang bang chicken - and v reasonably priced.

Great staff, very nice food. Slightly expensive.

Lovely people my card got declined and they said it's okay and to take the coffee they'd made for free til I can come back and pay for it 🥺🥺🥺

The food was over cooked and stone cold and the driver rang from outside asking me to come out and made me go to his car as was raining

Love this place, always good quality, accurate and on time

The sandwiches shouldn't be marketed as 'gourmet'. We ordered the Cypriot, the Chicken Tikka, a Bacon and Sausage and La Parisien. For a sandwich costing more than £5 I expected a bit more filling to be honest, and the bun it was in was quite small (just a regular bread roll). The sausage and bacon sandwich only had 1 sausage cut into 4 pieces. In terms of the quality, it was okay but nothing to shout about. In conclusion, nothing was bad but pretty average overall and definitely not worth the price.

Ordered chicken and bacon club sandwich which was £5.75. It was essentially chicken and bacon in mayo in a bun. It was tasty but not really worth the money and certainly not a club sandwich.

SO yummy, I’m going to be ordering all the time! Thank you so much, one of the nicest sandwiches I’ve had, and loved the little shortbread too ☺️

Delicious as ever! First delivery from this place after visiting a few times, and it’s definitely becoming a firm favourite. The quality never waivers. The only thing I’m a little confused about, is how to add that I’d like a sandwich toasted. Maybe I’m missing something, but from now on I’ll try adding it to the instructions at the end. Hope this is okay. Thanks :)

Always top notch from the picnic basket, thank you!

Amazing food! Hit the spot perfectly, thank you

No olives or mozeralla on the sandwiches

First time trying here today and I wasn't disappointed. I will be Deffo ordering again

The food from this place is absolutely divine 10/10

Friendly and quick service, and cheaper than most places too.

Stopped here for a quick refuel on a 50 mile tootle on the bike from South Shields today (14/5/23).Great hotdog! Fantastic hot chocolate! Great value too given the market place location. Most importantly the service was so very helpful and polite (including topping up my bike bottle!). I shall return!!!

Very tasty breakfast sandwiches & coffees, sarnies were wrapped in foil to keep them hot. Had them delivered to work, the driver phoned me to let me know he was outside. Very good experience would definitely order again

Great customer service, they gave us a couple free globals bars which is nice. And the iced lattes are delicious. :)

Absolutely beautiful sandwich’s probably the best I have had in a long time! Love this place! service is fantastic. My go to sandwich place !

Food was lovely and spot on with time! Will definitely order again. Beautiful.

Great friendly service, delicious coffee and snacks. Durham needs more places like this.

Really nice will definitely order again

This is by far the best cafe and sandwich place in Durham. The menu is full of variety, with very wholesome options and anything for those looking for something more indulgent to very healthy sandwiches that you can get with seedy brown bread and loads of protein of your choice (chicken) and veggies. The staff are lovely and always happy to let you customise your own toastie sandwich or salad. The coffees are delicious although expensive, however this is the case for coffee everywhere. There is limited seating at both branches and it can get pretty busy, plus the opening hours are limited as it shuts shortly after lunch, however this is my go-to place. Better service and product more cheaper than competitors like Chapters, Starbucks, flat white etc. The loyalty cards are great too. My favourite part is the staff.... on Friday I was made another sandwich for free because one of them felt that too much cheese fell out of my first one into the toasting machine and he felt it wasn't up to standard! Always a pleasure eating here.

Really nice coffee. Loyalty card too which is a great plus! Love the sandwich and toastie options too. Perf for after a lecture
