Lennies Sandwich Bar

If you work by Old Street, you will know about Lennies. There are lots of worthy competitors surrounding it but Lennis is the place to go when you crave a hearty, stodgy, warm box of food. I have never had their sandwiches, but I frequent their hot food bar which I think is only around during lunch time.
There is usually a big selection of hot food items ranging from lasagne (my fav!) to beef with rice. For about £4.50, you can get a whole box of one item, please a little salad. If you want to mix hot items, the price goes up a bit. Where else around Old Street are you going to be able to find a lasagne with a salad for that price?
Yes, they microwave the hot items in the styrofoam boxes but I respect that it’s kind of old school like that. The staff are always friendly and the place is always heaving. That has to be a good sign right? If you go after 1:30pm, you may risk them running out of hot food.

The sandwich shop sits buy exit 1 inside old street tube station. I was waiting for a friend and n order to avoid the outside cold and calm my hunger I went inside. It was fine, ceilings are quite low so it feels a bit claustrophobic, they have a good selection of sandwich fillings; tuna mayo, coronation chicken, chicken tikka, prawn, roasted veggies, cheddar, mozzarella, etc. Through a door is the seating area were you have a range of hot meals, mostly pasta, beans and jacket potatoes (starting at £3). For what it is, I felt it a bit over priced 80p for a bottle of water but I guess being in the City and inside the tube, it has got raise the bar even if its just in prices.
You might feel some what disregarded or ignored but I guess it happens when they get busy.
Also, having a food business sin the tube can be risky as you have attain yourself to smelling any odour that swifts from there and it can be off putting.
