The Sandwich Box in Cheltenham

Siempre entra aquí para almorzar. Fabulosa selección de ensaladas, panes y bollos caseros preciosos. Las quiches caseras son deliciosas. Una pequeña caja de ensalada a los 3 es lo suficientemente fácil para que 2 la compartan con el quiche. Personal amigable. Siempre hay un flujo constante de clientes. Cheltenham tiene mucha suerte de tener este lugar.

Encontramos este lugar completamente por accidente porque estaba lloviendo y solo necesitábamos un lugar cercano a nuestro estacionamiento para agacharnos y arreglarnos pagando por el estacionamiento, además de tomar un sándwich. No se ve mucho desde el exterior y está bajando unas escaleras. Una vez dentro, descubrimos que el menú era variado y delicioso y que horneaban pan de verdad en los locales sin aditivos. ¡Cielo! Tuvimos un par de los mejores sándwiches tostados de la historia, uno con masa agria y otro con una ciabatta. Aquí es donde siempre iremos a almorzar en el futuro mientras vamos de compras en Cheltenham.

Me encanta la caja de sandwhich, pero realmente creo que los guantes y las redes para el cabello deben usarse ya que la higiene es importante

Encontré esta joya de una tienda de sándwiches de Cheltenham, la detuve justo antes de una reunión e hice un pedido por teléfono a todos los asistentes, la señora que atendió la llamada fue muy útil y nuestra orden fue puntual y deliciosa, el falafel pita fue una verdadera sorpresa . Incluso compré algo de su masa fermentada que es increíble. Si está buscando un almuerzo rápido y sabroso en Cheltenham, definitivamente merece la pena visitar Sandwich Box, tienen una gran variedad de sándwiches recién preparados y un personal muy amable.

Maybe it’s my fault. When I asked for a ham roll, that’s all I got. Some ham leftover in the bottom of the tray and stuck to the glass, in a dry roll. When I asked for a tuna mayo roll. Same. Not asked if I wanted butter. No sprig of salad. No napkin.

Popped into out favourite place for lunch - first time for a while. Amazing food and service - never changes: - I had a flat bread with hummus, falafel, salad, chilli and mint ❤️. - my wife had the ‘veggie’ (goats cheese, vegetables in ciabatta) - 2 x flapjack. Bargain at £10 total and food to die for. Thank you. ❤️❤️❤️

Bread was great...fillings were good...but hygiene leaves a bit to be desired. The staff go between the till and making sandwiches without washing their hands or putting on gloves. Shame, as otherwise it seems like a nice place.

Fresh bread, delicious fillings. The hot ciabatta were very good, the bread is homemade, we had a croque monsieur and the Italian, both lovely. We'll definitely come back

Oh wow! Trust me! This is the place to buy your sandwich. No need to try making your own! We both used to work in Imperial Square in Cheltenham in the 90s & The Sandwich Box was where we bought our sandwiches every lunchtime. We don't live in Cheltenham & we don't work here anymore, so we were utterly stunned to find the same Sandwich Box still in the same place opposite the Town Hall after more than 20 years. AND IT'S EVEN BETTER THAN IT USED TO BE! Now, they bake their own bread, ingredients are locally sourced & the choice is as dazzling as ever! I opted for what they call a Croque Monsieur - an extremely tasty toasted ciabatta roll, filled with lean, tasty ham, creamy cheese & Dijon mustard. It was perfect! Hubby's focaccia was fresh fresh fresh, filled with chicken & crispy bacon. There's a wonderful selection of fillings - daunting in fact & many many fresh salads to choose from. Best to have an idea of what you fancy before you walk in, else you'll be stuck gaping at the menu like we were :-) Enjoy!

Hugh selection/menu for sandwich spreads, cold cuts etc, so knowing what you want is key. Nice fresh bread.

Tired of always eating the same kind of stuff for lunch I popped into this place - thank goodness. I ordered the Mexican lamb filled pita. 3 good-sized succulent minced lamb meatballs in pita bread stuffed with red kidney beans, lots of very fresh salad including tomato and cucumber with lashings of piquant mint sauce. Very, very good indeed. Sandwich box also sells a variety of fresh loaves, lots of other sandwiches and you can build your own, as well as fresh salad ingredients to bespoke your own salad - and a range of paninis. It's in basement and small and crowded because other people know how good it is. Very reasonably priced - makes other sandwich and salad providers pale into insignificance. So many choices, so little time :) Excellent value for money. Close to Cheltenham Town Hall.

Our favourite lunch spot in Cheltenham ❤. Amazing breads, salads and cakes. Today we had: - me - chicken and beetroot sandwich on white bread. - wife - home made quiche with lively salad. YUM!

A friend recommended Sandwich Box to me, and after he had collected orders for me a few times I eventually went with him to visit this tiny basement establishment opposite the Town Hall. It was heaving - huge queue, but rapidly and professionally being served by the enthusiastic staff. Oh, and they take telephone orders - a real time saver! They do sandwiches made to order, on bread they bake fresh daily, and a wide range of baked goods - mini-quiches, veg tarts, brownies, cakes, etc. There is a special hot dish that varies daily, and they have a wide selection of salad ingredients, from the lettuce, tomato and cucumber varieties through to cous-cous, chick peas and the like. Several types of meat - chicken, ham etc. can be added to either a standard salad box, or a large one for an extra 50p. The standard size is more than enough for me for lunch, and the larger size could feed two (although I have managed it on my own once, and my friend usually polishes one off on his own!). They have rightly got a great reputation, and have won awards for their baking. If you want a fresh lunch, prepared to order and at a really good price, you won't go wrong. Just prepare to queue!

Not sure what else to say? The bread that we buy regularly (at the shop or from the market stall when it's there) is in a class of its own, with the cheddar cheese/jalapeño my overall favourite - its stunning!

An excellent sandwich bar opposite to the Town Hall in Cheltenham. Sandwiches are exceptionally good, lots of choices for fillings with generous portions. Specials each day, my favourite is Pulled Brisket with coleslaw, thats on a Wednesday. Bread, rolls, pittas, ciabatta all home made. Loaves available to buy daily. Home made cakes to die for. You really must try it.

Super bread shop with tasty loaves and cheerful staff. Although the queues can get long, service is quick so yuo don't have to wait long. Try any of the different breads - this weekend, I had the chilli loaf and a super olive sourdough, both of which were excellent. Worth hunting this place out (its nearly opposite the entrance to the Town Hall, but at basement level).

Our favourite sandwich and lunch stop. A treat when working at home.Popped in today for 2 X chicken salads, a goats cheese veggie panini, a white tin loaf and 2 x chocolate brownies with raspberries.They didn't last long!

Always has a queue...but that's a good thing as far as food is concerned. A sign of quality. I've tried most things on their menu and I'm yet to be disappointed. Salads, great. Scotch eggs, amazeballs. Toasted sandwiches, unbelievable.The staff here are great, clearly always busy, but very polite.Cannot fault the place.Keep it up!

The food is great here, they bake their own bread so don't start serving until late morning. Good choice of fillings and great Scotch Eggs. The only problem is that it gets so busy, you can easily waste 20 minutes of your lunch break queueing and they run out of sandwich fillings if you leave it too late. Can't help but think they could do much more business if only they were better organised.

I love fresh bread and this is one of my favorite place in Cheltenham for sandwich or salad .great place for family visit or kids ,definitely worth another visit

My local favourite ❤️.A treat when I work from home. Today I had a scotch egg, lovely salad and then a custard / raspberry Danish.A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.

My sister came on a flying visit, arriving at lunchtime & demanding a snack. I brought her to Sandwich Box after hearing many recommendations, and was glad I did. I had a toasted ciabatta with salami and pickle, very nice. She had a carefully chosen selection from the salads on offer, and a slice of quiche. I might mention that she's somewhat fussy about food generally, but she was pleased with the freshness, taste & healthiness. So therefore I was too. We strolled to the Imperial Gardens and sat there in the sun for an hour, chatting & munching. Delightful!

A Sandwich Box lunch is a staple in our office and a cut above the standard sandwich or salad. If you're ever about in Cheltenham on a weekday, treat yourself to a stop :)

Delicious and incredible value takeaway lunch - I had chicken and coleslaw ciabiatta - enormous and well-filled, beautiful bread and cakes etc every time. Wish i lived closer!

Still the best sandwich bar in Cheltenham:- beautiful home baked bread.- lovely flavours and fillings.- great service.- bargain prices.I went for 'The Veggie' ciabatta to go, 2 x scotch eggs, salad, 2 x flapjacks, chocolate bar for my sun. All for the bargain price of £9.70.Our favourite by far. ❤️

Off at the moment and decided to treat ourselves to take away sandwich. Absolute bargain and top nosh all freshly cooked including bread onsite.- tuna and coleslaw ciabatta- chicken and coleslaw ciabiatta- roast vegetabbke panini.- 2 x scotch eggs.- 3 x doughnuts.Total cost £15 - bargain of the century and so tasty. ❤️

Just try it, they do some good bread be it a lot sour doe.Great that good bread coming back in to the world of the UK

Consistently good for a quick, good value, lunch in a bag. The quiche is always excellent and easy to eat without cutlery. The mushroom on sough dough bread is delicious but rather messy for lunch on the hop.

Finding myself outside the town hall at lunch time, I glanced across the road and spotted the sign. Intrigued, I peered down the stairs to see a number of people queueing for sandwiches etc. I thought I'd try it myself and I was not disappointed. I had a small quiche and a cake. The quiche was home made with a delicate pastry and tasty filling and my bake well tart was mouth-wateringly good. Excellent value and really nice food.

Love the sandwiches here - easily the best around, bread is fresh cooked on site and love to come in whenever I can. I had the chicken and pesto pie plus a ham and coleslaw roll. Sounds simple but boy was it lovely. Highly recommended.

If it were possible to make this a franchise restaurant, I’d be an investor. This is now another one of my “go-to” places for lunch in Cheltenham and judging by the lines (usually always out the door), I’m not alone. I don’t think there is any way to duplicate all the fresh ingredients, or the unique atmosphere, or the great food. It’s not just that there is something about it that is quintessentially English, it’s just really, really good. I had the most delicious turkey sandwich. Succulent, tasty, plentiful. At first, I thought it was so big, I couldn’t eat it all, but it was so darn good, I couldn’t stop. What more could you want from a lunch box?

I worked nearby for a number of years and this was and still is the finest sandwich bar in town. Everything about it is personnel with everything is homemade and supplied to your liking. The selection changes regularly and the standard is top class.Yes, it is in a small basement area but you never mind waiting when you know the quality you are about to receive. Make this your first choice for takeaway snacks.

So so good. Such a lot of effort goes into these sandwiches and you can taste it. The bread is incredible. Ridiculous that they're not in Cheltenham's top 5 on trip advisor. Nice staff too.

Read about this place in the Sainsburys Summer magazine. You will find it opposite the town hall in the basement of a block of Regency buildings. It is a take away place but there are 2 tiny seats at the bottom of the steps leading to it should you want to eat quickly and be off?! However, there is a lovely park nearby with plenty of seats where you could sit. We were very impressed with a great selection of food and all very tempting. Homemade quiches and tartlets, great selection of salads and the most delicious bread to make rolls with. All nicely packaged to take away. In the past when staying in Cheltenham we have been to M & S or Boots to buy a sandwich but after one visit we went here and will definitely go here every time as it worked out to be less than the price of a sandwich in M & S! My only suggestion for improvement would be to have the great selection of food written up at the back of the shop as well as by the counter where they take your order. We felt we were taking rather a long time to order with people in a hurry behind us as we weren't sure what we wanted but needed to be at the front in order to read the choices. Can't wait to go back. Must try a donut next time, they looked yummy.

Really friendly service, amazing selection of breads and lunches. The best falafel pitta I have had in a very long time. Definitely go here.

My favourite sandwich shop ever. The sandwiches and salads are very good, but the real stars are the daily specials. Stewsday is my personal favourite, but the pulled beef brisket and Friday pizzas have to be tasted. So much to recommend it, the number one thing being the pride and care taken in producing their own bread (you can also buy takeaway loaves - try the sourdough). This is NOT just another run of the mill sandwich bar.I worked in Cheltenham for 4 years and moved away recently. The Sandwich Box is the thing I miss most ! Now when I visit Cheltenham for business I always try and make sure I can work in a visit to the Sandwich Box.Only downside is that because of its well-known excellence, queues can get long. Waiting is a small price to pay though.

So this may seem a little silly writing a review about a doughnut... but it was amazing! The staff even answered my rather stupid question - "How jammy are your jam doughnuts?". The answer was "very jammy" and it didn't disappoint. Amazing doughnut, friendly staff :) I will be coming back to sample more treats (everything in there looked delicious). I am a fan!

After 5 years of using the Sandwich Box and always been delighted by every lunch time experience, today was the ultimate. I opted for the Tandoori Chicken Pitta @ £3.90. At first I though it might be a little over priced (but that's because I'm northern) then I watched the ingredients go in and they didn't seem to stop. The freshly made pitta was perfect, filled with leaves, onion salad, mango chutney, mint yoghurt & a mountainous amount of chicken.The only down side to this festival of spicy delight was I actually needed a bib.In my opinion (which is usually right) it was one of the best tasting items I've ever had from the Sandwich Box.All the awards have been well deserved, the hard work and dedication from Dom and the team is very apparent due to the high quality of breads, ingredients & service.Thought for the future can we have a pie and peas day? Again just because I'm northern!!!Keep up the amazing work. It never goes unnoticed.

I just got back to work with my tandoori chicken pitta (today's special), picked it up and the entire contents fell out all over the floor because it was in a paper bag and was full of liquid, I am left with an overly spiced pitta bread, filled with lettuce and nothing else. As I work less than 5 minutes walk from the Sandwich Box, it would be good if the packaging / sandwich structure could hold itself together for that long.Although they do interesting and inventive fillings, the bread is often burned or over cooked, the quiches are broadly flavourless, and there's nothing very healthy / low fat. If you have cheese in a sandwich it comes pretty grated out of one of those blue plastic bags.To be honest I'm not sure all the awards are representative of what is actually served everyday, it's just really good PR.

I've been using The Sandwich Box for 35 years ,(yes 35 ) Dom and his team make real Artisan Bread . Taste texture and quality are second to none . This sandwich shop just keeps getting better .

Quite possibly the best place in Cheltenham for lunch. Does get busy at lunch times but with good reason. Worth a visit for the bread alone but Thursday hog roasts are something to behold. Can't wait for my next visit!

The Sandwich Box is one of the best places to grab your lunch in Cheltenham. The Hog Roast special on a Thursday is a particular treat. It's really nice to see such a hard-working team thrive as the place is always packed - but the food is worth the wait. They'll make whatever you like from scratch and the portions are generous too. One last thing - if you have a sweet tooth then try out their brownie, it's the best in the biz. When they introduced the chocolate orange brownie I almost fainted. Incredible!

Thje sandwich Box is tiny, but incredibly busy, they serve all fresh food, all home made, with a great selection of fillings which they do not skimp on, great choice of breads and cakes etc

The place has gone downhill and is in need of a deep clean. The food has also lost its finesse that it had two years ago and has fallen into the realm of an average (fairly unhealthy) lunch venue with unnecessarily huge queues... I won't mention the most awkward till location. Bring Back the Sandwich Box Circa 2013.

The queues were long as was the wait after ordering, which wasn't good as the the room was very cramped.They had a very good selection of sandwiches, panini's, cakes and salads, with the option to add toppings/items or create any sandwich/salad from scratch. The bread was very nice, but having it as a panini took away some of the quality.I will probably return in the future for a regular sandwich and a cake, I just hope wait time is reduced or I get there on a quieter day.

Lovely place. Great for lunch and fresh bread to eat at home. Seems the the popularity has caught on.

This is a must stop place. Forget the chain places, this is fresh food at it's best. The bread is all homemade, as well as the cakes salad and hot food. Its exceptional quality which is so exciting to see. I have never been disappointed and don't need to find anywhere else to find my lunch.

If I find myself with a spare 20 minutes to grab lunch between 12pm and 2.30pm I always without fail run down to The Sandwich Box! Everything is superb. The homemade bread is devine and I'm always thrilled if I can buy some for the weekend. I would LOVE it if the opened a cafe!

I work in Swindon so can only get in when on holiday. Luckily had a few days off for Christmas. Had my treats:- quiche for my wife.- tuna and coleslaw ciabatta.- scotch egg.- toffee apple snail bun.All lovely - just need a coffee machine!Best sandwich in town!

It just can't be beaten. Everything I have had here is delicious. I have only tried savoury and it is just mouth watering. I could happily just eat bread and butter here as the bread quality is amazing. Some have mentioned price but I don't agree, I think the cost is remarkably low considering the quality - you'd pay more at a supermarket for a similarly sized sandwich that isn't even half as good.

Decided to call in for lunch to eat in the park as know they have one several awards. Not disappointed, awesome food.We had a mixture of food which was all amazing:- scotch egg (lovely and my four year old agrees :-)).- bacon and vegetable quiche (my wide says lightest and best ever).- tuna and coleslaw ciabatta (Devine fresh bread).- home cooked jam doughnut.- flapjack.- 3 bottles of water.In total came to £10.90! Bargain of the century.Best tip - just go, you won't be disappointed! :-)

I regularly treat myself to lunch from The Sandwich Box. Everything they sell tastes incredible. My boyfriend has a particular love for their homemade scotch eggs and even they're salads taste great! It is a tad more expensive than your average chain but 100% better in every way. The staff are friendly and helpful and the portions are massive! I'm always amazed by the variety they manage to get crammed into their cosy little shop. I love that the menu changes and they do specials such as hog roasts and pizza Friday's which are a bargain - less than £5 for a whole, freshly made 9" pizza. I just wish I could afford to eat here everyday!

Can't fault this place, love its ethos, passion and quality of food. Wish I still lived in Cheltenham to visit more.. Oxford needs a place like this!

Had a selection of amazing bread nod rolls - savoury and sweet.Loved the sundries tomato and the marmalade.Highly recommended.

Such a huge range of delicious fillings in a huge range of breads/pittas etc There are cakes galore and the menu is really inventive - beetroot pitta bread - who would have thought! You can have soup, stew, pitta bread, pizza, salad boxes, bruschetta...the list is endless! There is even hog roast if you pick the right day! I also love the fact that the menu changes from summer to winter. It is a tad on the expensive side - lunch regularly costs me over £5 for a sandwich and a drink but you get what you pay for and the portions are huge.

Ok you can't sit in like other places but if you want great home made food then get a takeaway from here and eat it in the park or at your desk. I like: Cheltenham bread..... Artisan Bread on a FridayI also like a sandwich made with chicken, houmous, peppers and chilli jam.Millionaire doughnuts are superb.You could get a hot pork roll.....You could take home quiche for tea..... Mmmmm hungry now!

Some of the best sandwiches I've ever had. Fantastic selection and officially an award winning bread maker!
