I went there on Tuesday and decided £5.80 for a 12" sandwich was taking the piss but I didn't mind paying £6.30 for a burger king meal. They are so expensive for what they are, £4 for a footlong is more realistic, over £5 and I can think of better things to buy.

Thats it though. You get a sarnie thats filled with filling but doesnt fill you like a burgerking. For a few penny's more. But i think i would go back

Subways ok, but its nothing i cant make at home, i hate paying over the odds for something i can do better myself. prob why i service my own car
now a BurgerKing, they are fantastic, i could make one, but it would take too long. theres nothing on earth like a nice burgerking.

Never seen the point with Subway tbh, as nice as they are.

Was out and about with a couple of mates the night before last and we ended up in Tesco's. I got a Tiger loaf that must've been the best part of 2' long, and a pack of Chicken roll, ripped the loaf in half in the car park and threw all the chicken in. Came to £1.94 and coulda fed about 5 people with the bastard

I don't normally do a lot of fast food but subway is fucking ace usually almost always go for sub of the day as it works out cheaper. Loads of decent clean meats like chicken, turkey, ham and tuna and full of salad. Pretty healthy lunch one might say and is filling.

No wonder people are so unhealthy and unfit if they worry about their pocket and would spend it in burger king and on battered sausage and chips . I'd spend £6+ every day on a decent lunch no bother and I'm a student and I still bring in food from home.

Lol at some of the comments regarding burgerking/chippy etc! Agreed they're bloody expensive but in all honesty alot of people that buy rolls/salads etc actually don't want a burger and chips for dinner (believe it or not) even if is cheaper!! All fast food is overpriced imo, and when i go for lunch or whatever i just accept it, way nicer than some manky old ham sandwich wrapped in clingfilm that you've knocked up at home lol

Mate, its the the shit they put in the food that kills ya, not the fatty stuff, dont beleive they hype! Battered sausage and chips is probs better for you than stuff with additives in they sell at subway!

Why do you think we are overun with old folk? And they ate cows tongue fried in lard etc

wasn't there some research done that showed them up as being just as bad as burger king etc? That said, I do like a subway, but I eat what I want, hence being a bit fat

I always get a proper breakfast mate was just in town with the wench and she wanted one. I live on takeaways and a bit of freshish type food is usually welcome. But yeah agree with the indian comment

I used to go to Subway a couple of times a month, my choice was: 12" BBQ Rib, Double Cheese, Lettuce, Red Onion, BBQ Sauce and Mayo... Nice, real nice.


Cheers,
Grant
