About Bread & Meat

Snug is the word regulars keep coming back to — this is a small Cambridge sandwich spot where seating is tight and it can get crowded and noisy at busy times, so it suits a quick lunch with older children more than a leisurely sit-down with a double buggy. The upside is speed: the wait for a table is usually under 15 minutes, food arrives fast, and takeaway is there if patience runs out. There's a kids' menu and high chairs, and the staff are friendly and happy to tweak an order. The Philly cheesesteak ciabatta and the porchetta are what people rave about, with big portions and lovely crackling, plus garlicky coleslaw and homemade iced tea. Around £12 a sandwich, and worth it.
