Benjy'sNewest Review: ... than smoked salmon and champagne. Mind you - you can actually get a smoked salmon and cream cheese bagel for £1.50, as well as croissants, cereals, yoghurts and toast from 40p. And I defy anyone not to feel satisfied after the enormous breakfast torpedo (sausge, egg, bacon, mushroom...). Sandwiches ========== My lunch today was the Just Tuna sandwich, which is part of the Lite Bites range. ... more |

Benjy's are the perfect place to have some normal and quite healthy food, I think. i worked at in one Benjy [in Royal exchange building] two years ago, and I liked their opinion about any customer. Now I'm thinking to open that kind of fast food restaurant in Lithuania, couse it seems pritty nice idea for me.
P.S. If someone will visit Royal exchange Benjy, please say: 'Hello to everyone form Mindaugas' :P

You know what? Deep in the bowels of the overpriced and besuited Square Mile, where a pint of beer can cost £3.60 and smoked salmon is served with champagne at breakfast, you can still get a cheap lunch. As unlikely as it may seem, there is still somewhere that sells jacket potatoes for a quid, sandwiches for under £1.50 and soup for 70p: welcome to the world of Benjys. "Cheap" does not necessarily mean "nasty", you know. I've just eaten a deep-filled tuna sandwich on premium malted bread with no mayo (counting calories, you see), lemon, lettuce and cracked pepper. I expect you'd pay upwards of £2.75 for something like this ... Read the complete review

Some businesses succeed by being the only player in a marketplace. Some succeed by upping the quality. Some succeed by lowering the price. Benjy's definitely falls in the latter. When popping out of the office to buy lunch, the modern Londoner has a myriad of choices. Do they go and sample the delights of Pret a Manger's All Day Breakfast sarnie? Do they go to their local Wetherspoons for a beer and a burger? Do they get a pork pie from Marks & Spencer out of some sort of civic pride? From the crowds that gather, I would guess that half the population in London do none of these things, and head to Benjy's. I exaggerate yet again, of ... Read the complete review

Many of the sandwich shops in London cater to the wealthier sector. Office workers want fast, fresh food and most are willing to pay for it. It's not unusual to find prices starting at over a pound for a simple egg sandwich with few frills. Explore the more lavish ingredients, such as avocado, almonds and capers and the price rockets (and I'm not talking about the fancy lettuce, either). Benjys is a chain that counters this culture of frills and expense in offering a huge variety of reasonably priced food. Yes, it would still be cheaper to pack your own lunch each morning, but convenience costs; though at Benjys the cost begins at a mere 45p for a cheese ... Read the complete review

There are only a few words that describe Benjy's, and "wonderful" has to be one of them. For years office workers have been complaining about the amount they have to pay for a basic sandwich and beverage. Well complain no longer. At least for those in London. Benjy's offers the sandiwch without the finesse. The finesse of Pret-A-Manger is what you aren't paying for in the price. Prices start at £1.00/£1.25 and go upwards of that, instead of £2.50 and upwards. Produce ranges from Baps, Bread, Rolls and other things. As well as salads and drinks and deserts and fruit - Sorry for making it sound like a list. In ... Read the complete review
