Satterthwaites was founded one hundred years ago in Liverpool, it has remained a Liverpool based store but popularity has encouraged growth in the area and I think there are around six further stores, four in the Crosby/ Waterloo area. Satterthwaites are extremely popular in the area and well known amongst non-locals too! The food is extremely good, and of course the type of food sold- stodgy savouries: pies; pasties; sausage rolls, and cakes- is irresitable and undeniably popular generally, however I think the popularity of this store is through the unmistakeable element of tradition Satterthwaites has managed to preserve; the cakes are classics: bavarian slices, carrot cakes, meringues, while the old fashioned uniforms are unique to Satterthwaites: hair nets and hats are worn as well as gloves which is nice to see. The staff are always very sociable and friendly and the food is really satisfying: tasty, filling, and reasonably priced. Satterthwaites offer catering services also: finger buffets, cake selections and even fruit platters. This is a popular caterers in the area hired for weddings and all sorts of parties.

They sell an excellent range of foods such as cakes, pies, sausage rolls, pasties, sandwiches, wraps and baguettes. Everything is freshly made and delicious and I have never been less than delighted with my purchases from Satterthwaites. The prices are excellent, as a previous reviewer said starting from £1.99 for a basic meal deal. The staff are dressed in old fashioned uniforms with hairnets, and use gloves when preparing your order. They are very friendly and chatty and make you feel very welcome.

I want to meet this butler and sit in his kitchen listening to him tell me amusing stories while he bakes breads--ala Jeeves and Wooster. Anyway, aside from a great name, this bakery also offers great tasty food. They have some of the nicest home baked cakes, pastries, etc that I've seen for sale in similar bakeries. I always prefer independent, small town bakeries and feel that they deserve my support, but this one is especially nice. I want to eat it up.

I like to visit here in the summer when they have a small outdoor seating area and you can sit back with a nice sarnie and enjoy the sunshine, making for a relaxing all round experience. As with most of the sandwich companies in Liverpool the staff here are very down to earth and extremely friendly meaning that as well as your food you often get a nice chat here also. The actual range of food here is nothing exceptional but it certainly competes with its many rivals who are dispersed around the city. This company also caters for parties and functions and are good for simple party buffet food. To summarise another very down to earth and unpretentious sandwich shop within Liverpool, let's hope they keep up the good work.

Ah, named after one of Willy Russell's most famous Liverpudlian characters. Well, far removed…read moreenough from the everyday drudgery Mrs Valentine finds herself in on a daily basis, this little basement café slash sandwich shop is a pleasant place to get away from it all and indulge in some quality scran. Butties tend to be the name of the game here, and the bread you can choose from is almost as vast as the variation of fillings... fancy your favourite on a wrap today instead of sliced? How about a Panini or ciabatta melt? It's all here. The only scruples are the fact that it does tend to be somewhat overpriced, and their fickle pricing system doesn't seem to help matters. I mentioned that I'd been there to a Liverpudlian friend who said, 'Yep, bet if you had that again you'd pay something different for it.' It apparently depends on who's working at the time or how generous they are with the ingredients. Strange, non? Also if you're on foot it's fine and dandy but if you're in transit with a car you won't find parking nearby, the area's emblazoned with double yellows. Never mind, though, because they have CAKE! Yes, homemade and fresh cakes and biscuits which are all exceptionally bad for you and even more exceptionally lovely. If you can get past the few cons this really is a good little sandwich spot for a tasty bit of lunch.

As you can probably guess from the name of this business, Pound Bakery offers all your bakery goods…read moreat no more than one English pound. Quite why they've decided to offer sausage rolls, pies and pasties at one pound when you can usually get one for a bit less, I'm not sure; even when you do pay more than a pound for a pasty in Greggs or Sayers, it's not too much more and it's not so much more that you'd rather not pay it. Especially when their goods are generally pretty tasty and of a higher quality than here. Their selection of savouries and sweets are pretty impressive and rival the other local bakers in the area, but with Greggs and the excellent Greenhalghs just down the way from them, I'd say that Pound Bakery is a place you should go if you literally only have a pound to spend for your dinner. But then again, you can't get a drink. Or some sort of accompaniment, which we all know is imperative to your lunchtime snack.

The store that caught my attention was the Stretford Mall shop, and I decided to go there since 2 pasties for £1 seemed very reasonable. Greggs are usually £1.85 for 2 pasties, so it at least 85% cheaper than it's rival. The selection of pasties seemed very impressive, better than greggs. And 2 loafs for £1 seemed another great steal. Hot drinks are 50p each and cakes are £1, again great value all rounded to a pound or less. Overall great value for money, good selection and quality that doesn't seem to differ with greggs. It caters for everyone, not just those on a budget, like it very much!
