Brass Rail Salt Beef Bar - Selfridges, London



This is quite simply the most tender meat you'll find. Chewing not required. The bread they use is Rye bread and it's always fresh and fluffy, the mustard is cheap yet it works, and the pickle on the side rounds it off nicely. £6.50 may sound like a lot for a sandwich but they really do pack it with salt beef. In fact I've taken some of the meat out on a few occasions and used it to make a second sandwich the next day.

If you don't want a sandwich you can choose from the protein platter (just meat) or the salad bar. It's all simple and understated but very well done. The main carver has been working there for 33 years so he knows his stuff. 

The bar is placed in a corner of the ground floor and although Selfridges is an upmarket place to shop this little corner is very unpretentious.. It's a little nest in a big cog, a small corner away from the expensive bags etc.... You'll find business men grabbing it on the go for lunch or chomping away right there. I often go at the end of a day of shopping, as a treat. 

It's delicious and unpretentious and highly recommended.
