Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Fantastic sandwich/food shop with knowledgeable, brilliant, friendly, helpful and eager staff. Huge range of sandwiches and other quality food stuff (including sauces, jams, chutney, soft drinks etc etc). Was busy when we went which is always a good sign and been in business for ages...- outstanding place. We bought three different types of sandwich and three cakes - all fresh and tasted lovely. Thoroughly recommended.More

What a find! Visiting Jesmond food market with friends we chose to seek out this deli as opposed to queuing at the stalls on the bridge. I was greeted warmly, guided through the menu, and the girl who served me even helped me choose. The...menu is huge and I was spoilt for choice! All our sandwiches were made individually to order with great attention to detail. Ingredients were top quality, fresh and good value for money. Great cake selection too. Thank you. We’ll be back in droves!More

Popped in on a busy Saturday afternoon. I only wanted a bottle of water so grabbed one out the cooler. Everyone seemed to be waiting to be served along with me yet 4 members of staff were stood at the end of the counter just...chatting and giggling amongst themselves and ignoring said customers. Ended up putting the water back in the fridge and left. Wont be going back.More

This is my go to place when I need a treat, a pick me up and some food to look forward to! I wouldn't normally buy take aways but this is an exception....great value for money, big portions with a boat load of filling, lovely...choice of bread, quick super friendly service, covid rules taken seriously and always spotlessly clean - and that gives me confidence. Nice choice of cakes, tray bakes too My best sandwich....crunchy peanut butter with brie, lettuce, tomato and crunchy carrot chutney. Delicious. Heading there tomorrow!More
