Actual things said in this shop over the past week:

“Is this the place from the post?”

“I’ll have what the Durham lady had.”

“Does Debbie get commission ?”

“My wife sent me. Said don’t come home without one.”

“320 miles?? For a sandwich??” (yes, apparently ours)

“Are YOU Debbie?” to a very confused customer who was not Debbie

One Facebook post. Hundred new page followers, hundreds of comments and likes, a real hype.
A lovely lady from Durham who’s now more famous in Taunton than we are. ❤️🥹

All we did was make sandwiches. We’ll keep doing exactly that.

Thanks Debbie , thanks Taunton 🥪

So. Funny story. Except it isn’t, really.

We’ve done the numbers. Then we did them again, because we didn’t like them the first time. Then a third time, out of spite.
They came back the same: as things stand, this shop is running on borrowed time.

We thought about how to tell you. There was the mysterious route ,vague posts, “watch this space”, then one day the sign comes down and everyone finds out.
There was the pretend-everything’s-fine route. And then there was this one: just telling you, like you’d tell a friend.

Because here’s the thing. Times are hard. Hard for us and for half the businesses on this street and probably for a fair few of you reading this.
There’s no shame in saying it. We’re saying it.

What we’re NOT doing is a farewell tour. Not yet. We’ve got a fridge full of fillings, and frankly nothing to lose.

So this is us, saying it plainly: we need this month to be different. Come in. Bring someone. Order ahead but tell someone else about the sandwich after. Whatever happens, we wanted you to hear it from us first — because this shop was never really ours anyway.
It was always yours.

We just made the sandwiches.

We get asked this at the counter all the time — “can I order ahead so I don’t miss out?”

Yes, you can! Order online, tell us when you’re collecting, and it’ll be ready and waiting. No queue, no turning up to find your favourite’s sold out.

Made fresh every morning, same as always.

“You’ll always be worth a detour.” ❤️

A year ago, two lovely people from Durham walked in, bought two sandwiches for a long journey home, and left. That should have been the whole story. It’s how it goes a hundred times a day, in every food shop, everywhere.

But they wrote to us that night. And then they didn’t stop.

Through our first autumn, when some days we stood behind the counter wondering if anyone would come.

Through the winter, when we questioned everything.

Debbie and Ian were 340 miles away, and somehow they kept believing in us ,messaging, reviewing, trying to recreate our Spanish sandwich in their own kitchen, telling us to keep going on the days we weren’t sure we could.

They never saw the early mornings.
They never saw the hard weeks.
But somehow, they always seemed to write at exactly the right time.

This January, they told us they’d booked a night in Taunton -not passing through, booked - around a promise made a year earlier: that one day they’d come back for that sandwich.

On Wednesday, they kept it.

We finally met the people who had been holding us up from 340 miles away.

Ian says it was the best scotch egg of his life. Debbie says the wait was worth it.

But here’s what we couldn’t quite say at the counter:

You didn’t just come back for a sandwich.
You reminded us that this little shop matters to someone.

That what we make with our hands in the mornings travels further than we ever imagined - into other people’s kitchens, their holiday plans, their year.

Every small business has quiet days when the dream feels heavy.

If you’re lucky, you get a Debbie and an Ian.

We got ours.

See you next summer, friends.

The Spanish Chick will be waiting , and so will we. ❤️

Worth a detour since 2025.

Dear Meal Deal,

It’s not you. It’s… no, actually, it is you.

It’s the way your bread is somehow both dry AND wet. The single sad slice of cucumber you call “salad.” The way you’ve been sitting in that fridge since dawn, plotting against my afternoon.

I’ve met someone. They hand-stack pastrami like it’s an art form. Their pickles crunch. Their bread comes from an actual bakery. They make my lunch while I watch, like some kind of beautiful delicious theatre.

Don’t call me.
