People pack out the shop all day to take away hot and cold food to keep their bellies full and satisfied.

Two colleagues and myself decided to try out the popular takeaway this week to see what all the fuss was about.

There is a large and diverse menu at the takeaway which is situated in Bridge Street in the town centre.

Breakfast is available until 11am.

I decided to try a sausage, bacon and egg baguette priced £2.29 which was very tasty. The baguette was fresh and the meat was well cooked. I thought it was excellent value.

One of my colleagues opted for a jacket potato with chilli and cheese priced £2.39. He commented on how well the potato was cooked, saying it was crispy on the outside but nice and soft in the middle.

He said that the chilli was on the mild side but tasty and even added that it was one of the best he had tasted. My other colleague went for a cheese salad baguette and once again gave it the thumbs up.

She said the bread was fresh and the filling generous and tasty. She had to eat it in two installments due to its size and, at £1.79, it was also excellent value.

The takeaway shop has a startling amount of choice for food fans whether it be at breakfast or lunchtime and there is lots on offer for people who want a healthier option.

There is a large breakfast menu available and people can choose to have their food served on a sandwich or baguette.

The shop also offers a wide range of fillings. Chicken choices include mexican, cajun, plain breast, tikka and tikka mint mayo.

There is also a range of cheese fillings including cheddar, mixed cheese, French brie and stilton.

Customers can have fish, ham, turkey and beef as well as being able to choose from a selection of salad boxes. Jacket potatoes have a range of hot and cold fillings available including tuna, prawn, beans and chilli con carne.

Telephone orders are welcome and there is also free delivery. I would recommend giving the French Connection Baguette House a try.
