I’ve been craving beef sandwiches for some time. 2 recent experiences to help satisfy the cravings:

The concept is sheer genius. Satisfy the British love of roasts. Simple stock in the shop – 3 roasts (Chicken/Turkey, Pork, Beef), vegetables (3 types), roast potatoes, gravy.

Today I had hot roast beef sandwich with a side of roast potatoes. I discovered about a year ago that a sandwich with gravy is amazing (why go with the simple option of bread to mop up the gravy, when you can include gravy in the sandwich ?):
