We have been using The Park Pantry for well over a year now. They provide the lunches for trainees attending courses at our premises in Scotton. The choice, value and customer service is exceptional. We always get great feedback. Every trainee has an individual packed lunch with lots of quality products. We have also enjoyed the salad boxes which were amazing. Cannot recommend enough and the bonus for us is that the deliver!

Great little butty shop, little out of the way for the general public but used to visit when I worked close by regularly, have since moved on but still visit on occasion. Menu is a good size with specials changing each month. Staff are happy and chatty, if you want to chat. Not much in the way seating but it's a butty shop, so you can't expect there to be loads, 3 picnic tables outside and a small counter for 5 inside. If you are nearby we'll worth a stop in for some food.

Everyone was really happy . Very helpful with ideas for food for kids and adults so we had a selection of everything . Would recommend this place to people . Thanks again Michelle and Chloe x
