What time do you open?
Half seven in the morning, every weekday. The counter runs until two, so come before then rather than after.
203 Slack Rd · Manchester M9 8AW
Pull in at half seven. Out by two.
A sandwich shop for the working week. Coffee, a proper tea selection, breakfast and lunch — eat in, take it away, or have it brought to you. Monday to Friday, and that is that.

Built around the working week
The shutters go up at half seven and come down at two, five days a week. That is breakfast before the shift, brunch when the morning drags its feet, and lunch before the afternoon swallows it whole.
Saturday and Sunday the place is shut, and it makes no apology for that. This is a weekday stop on Slack Road — get your order in between Monday and Friday.
Coffee runs the whole time, and the tea selection is not an afterthought. Both turn up in the reviews more than anything else does.
Eat in, take it out, or stay put
Sit down inside, take one of the outdoor tables when Manchester allows it, or grab it and go. If you cannot get away from the desk or the site, there is delivery.
Feeding a team rather than yourself? Catering is on as well — ask at the counter. Small plates and quick bites if you have twenty minutes, something healthy if you would rather, and something sweet if the day has earned it.
Cards, debit or credit, and contactless off your phone. Free street parking outside, so no meter to feed while you wait.

Questions we get at the counter
Are you open at the weekend?
No. Saturday and Sunday the shop is closed. Monday to Friday only — plan the weekend order for Friday.
Can I bring the dog?
Yes. Dogs are welcome inside and at the tables outside. Nobody will ask you to tie them up on the pavement.
Is it alright with kids?
Very. There is a kids’ menu, and families and groups are in and out all morning. Casual, not precious.
Where do I park?
Free street parking on Slack Road. No meter, no ticket, no app — pull up, come in, get on.
Do you deliver?
Yes. Delivery, takeaway and eat-in all work. Catering too, if you are feeding more than yourself.
How do I pay?
Cards, debit or credit, and contactless from a phone or watch. Nothing exotic required.
Sandwiches only, or a proper sit-down?
Both. Breakfast, brunch and lunch, small plates and quick bites, healthy options and something sweet — with coffee and a real tea range alongside.
Anywhere to sit outside?
There are tables outside for the days Manchester behaves itself, and proper seating inside for the days it does not.
