PEN Catering

A long time ago I remember getting chucked a curveball at work and asked to organise catering for a big meeting for the following day. I contacted Pen Catering and all I can say is that they are AMAZING. They are now my go to catering company for corporate meetings. Ray never disappoints, is always there to help and is even lovely enough to not be phased by me sending through my last minute orders via email. The sandwiches are always fresh and delicious, and they cater for differing dietry requirements.

Decor is definately on the swankyside with bright spotlights illuminating the back wall of the cafe. Wasn't very busy on the Friday lunch I dined here- The menu was simple with a selection of items by which you can have the same ingredient combinations in either a salad- or a sandwich. There are specials on the board though- with freshly cooked hot meals that are swanky resturant worthy- my friend had a warm mustard encrusted beef dish- and I was ready to ditch my salad order...
However when my poached chicken salad arrived I was plesently surprised. If you are strange like me you will appreciate that your sald comes out unmixed- instead neatly stacked piles of beetroot, Chicken slices, asparagus and lettuce are arranged impeccably on your plate.
I woudl come here again so a bit of a fancy lunch treat.

Not sure what they are trying to achieve with thier recent Salad and Sandwich bar but it is a really cumbersome process trying to get lunch here. Not only do you have to wait for ages but the service is really rude and abrupt. I used to go here everyday for lunch but now try to avoid it as much as I can.

Bar the massive sandwiches and go straight to the chocolate brownie.They are guaranteed to turn a bad day around.

If you like a massive sandwich than this the place for you. Make sure your ready to fill out your form for what you want on the sandwich. But I love a cafe that has really thick slices of bread and a good variety of fillings.
