Norwich
Friday morning in the office and it’s nearly the weekend. What better way to celebrate than an
excursion to Archers to pick up a breakfast baguette or two. It has to be done…..

Sausage baguette at large, double banger
Hey good looking
Well tasty with English mustard
A well deserved recommended sticker!
Upon
entering – Even from outside Archers
dominates the row of shops with its strong branding. As you enter there are a
whole array of mouth watering treats on display. It's a bright clean
space with a huge counter heaving with breakfast items and carvery meats. The walls are adorned with meal deals
and foodie pictures. A huge menu hangs above the counter. You can't help but smile. 10/10
Service – You can be assured
of a dry Norwich welcome here, the ladies behind the counter will poke fun at
you as you make your order and are always up for a joke, but its all in good humour and there are plenty of
smiles. Just be sure you know what
you want before you order or you might get a telling off! 9/10
Contents – I recommend a large
sausage baguette, but then I like sausages. Two is always better than one. 9/10
Presentation – The Archers secret is simple food,
simply presented. Sausage, Butter,
Baguette, what else do you need? And it looks fantastic. 9/10
The
food – Everything is freshly cooked for the takeaway, and that includes the
baguettes. Warm and crispy they complement the sausages perfectly. The sausages themselves are the Traditional Norfolk Pork available from the butchers
counter next door, they have that handed down through the generations
blend of spices and mighty meaty flavour that are unmistakeably Archers. Yum! 10/10
Value
for money – At £3.65 you get quality and quantity, and its worth it, especially on a
Friday. 9/10
Veggie
option – A range of Jacket Potatoes are available with veggie toppings, but not a
quorn sausage in sight.
Overall – We've tried most of the
takeaways for a Friday morning treat here at the office, but the one we always
come back to is Archers. It's not the cheapest
around, but there is a reason for that. It's honest, reliable,
great food that sets you up perfectly for the weekend (or any day of the week
for that matter!). They don't deliver, but any
excuse for a jolly to go pick up that bag of breakfast baguettes, the weight of
the carrier as you make your get away is somehow very satisfying. The carvery
meats are excellent too, pork and crackling is always a favourite. You won't be disappointed. 9/10
