Subway

Although Subway is by no means the best snack joint around, it is definitely the crème de la crème of lunchtime eateries in the dull district of Knowle. If you’re looking for a cheap, tasty (albeit pumped with preservatives) lunch and are in the area, this place is your best bet. Boasting a variety of breakfast baps, and a host of different baguette fillings, you may find yourself umming and urring for a good while at the counter. For those of you looking for something substantial and cheaper than your average sub, look out for the Sub of the Day meal which alternates daily and will cost you a fairly modest £1.99. If you’re eating in at this joint, you’ll be blessed with the glorious vision that is the entrance to Broadwalk Shopping Centre.

It’s in places like Knowle that a corporate franchise such as Subway can actually become a welcome site. I’m not normally a fan of such places, asides from the obvious health aspects, they plague town and city centres and take away business from good, wholesome independent cafés and tea rooms. However, when there’s really nothing else about, at least you can rely on Subway. For one thing, you know what you’re getting, even if it’s not the greatest quality food in the world and for another, the prices are the same across the board so at least you wont be left out of pocket for your sub-​standard lunch (pun not intended!). If you find yourself with no other option, then I recommend the Veggie Patty Sub with south west sauce and all the trimmings.
