Has anyone, anywhere, managed to buy a GF sandwich at Costa on the motorways?

Apparently they do them, but every store I've stopped at say they don't stock it there.

We have a CC in our town centre and they never have anything other than a (v.expensive) choc brownie to offer me. Would kill for a GF sarnie when I'm out! Yum!

All I've ever found in big chain coffee shops are very expensive, very sickly sweet chocolate brownies and salads at Pret. Has anyone ever found a GF sarnie anywhere?

Yes, some of the bigger M&S shops sell gf sandwiches - I had a cheese and pickle one the other day. a bit chewy, but OK. Look for the green packaging - like their other gf products.

Starbucks will do filled GF rolls

Didn't know Starbuck do GF rolls, only the GF salads and, of course, those sickly inedible brownies! Does anyone ever buy these?

I have often wondered (and I have complained to M &S about their restaurants) why they think that Coeliac's only like sickly chocolate cakes etc........

I know that this is not what you asked, but alot of motorway services have an M&S which is where I sometimes buy lunch if we're travelling. I haven't seen any GF sarnies in there, but they do some GF salads. Don't know if that's of any interest to you...

I've had gf sandwiches from both Starbucks and m&s. Both sorts were ok. I've heard too that Cafe Nero have begun to introduce something similar. Costa have often confirmed that they don't but should!

I really should just make my own to take. I usually have a Waitrose or a Starbucks one if I can get them before they sell out, but I had heard Costa had started doing them. Obviously not though!

I recently bought a chicken roll and a chocolate brownie in a Tesco Cafe. There was Costa signs all over but I later noticed my receipt had another name on that meant nothing to me - a franchise? Though I didn't check the brand on the roll packet, the brownie was definitely Costa.

Yesterday I tried to purchase a sandwich or salad to takeaway from a large Tesco. There was absolutely nothing suitable.
