Sandwich Suppliers

[loosemarbles]

as above really - hoping someone has a great recommendation for a new sandwich supplier. The business is not huge (150-200 sandwiches/pannini's a week) so rules out quite a few suppliers. Ideally local'ish to the South-East too!

In answer to the obvious, yes, we are looking at doing our own, but that is long-term strategy, but we have a need for short/medium term answer!

probably should have clarified ... it is for a small independent coffee shop.

the local demographics and spending power may allow the shop to achieve prices at the £4 level, and whilst they are looking at producing on site, there are a few challenges to overcome first, hence needing a new supplier in the interim.

A very local approach also isn't feasible.

thanks for the feedback, but as above, making on site isn't something that can be considered right now, but is in the plan for the future.

yes food & hygiene is a concern, but given that we adequately compete with the major brands, on the same high-street, with superior coffee, we should be making on site.

The trouble is that the rest of the store will take some time to get to that level, and with a relatively high profile both in terms of local government and consumer awareness, we have to cover ourselves. I am happy with a short-term change in terms of reduced margins etc, hence needing a supplier.
