Upper Crust

This place is making an absolute mint of charing way too much money for very bland food! I had the ‘chicken tikka’ baguette… I couldn’t taste any tikka!!! And for £3.99? what???

As a gluten free girl its always a challenge to find places that offer this option so i have had to stop eating here sadly-​but I wanted to say that the quality of the baguettes here is first class. I bought 4 for my friends while we were waiting for a train and the staff were so nice and cheery and everyone loved the baguette! They also do great coffee.

Just average. While the baguette was nice and crunchy, there needs to be more than a thin slice of ham and a piece of cheese on there to make it a meal. And at the £4 price, not really worth it. That said, it was better than nothing and made for a reasonable snack on the train.
I really can’t recommend Upper Crust and suggest hitting one of their neighbors.

The Great Train Robbery
At every station around the country lies one of these, waiting to rob you of your money. Sure, you’ll get a crusty baguette sandwich in return, but it’ll never taste remotely near the 4 or 5 quid you’ve paid for it. It’ll be half-​arsed and tepid. Even if you go luxury and get one of the ones with brie in, it will not resemble a 5 quid deal.
You could go elsewhere, right? Hmm… think again. In many stations it’s your only option. They’ve got it all covered. You’re hungry? Mwhahahaha! They’re even at Gare du Nord now, waiting to ambush.
Do what you can to avoid the dreaded Upper Crust. Make your own snack, or visit the M&S nearby for much better value. As for you Mr Upper Crust… if you’re reading… how about some realistic prices, how about a low-​price budget option and how about you stop taking advantage of hungry commuters in a hurry with no time to think?
