Mr Bird's MYO - Meat & Salad Roll


MYO gives you a great chance to make just the roll or sandwich that you've been wanting, without having to go to the shop and purchase 15 different ingredients. Today I chose a meat-heavy deal, which is not unusual.

I went for a brown roll with no margerine, topped with chicken, ham, salami, pastrami, cheddar, mozzerella, eggplant relish, avocado sauce, tomato relish, sun dried tomatoes, jalopenos, tomato and english spinach.
Presentation I'm reluctant to give a score for this category. Mr Bird shouldn't be penalised just because I make a dodgy looking sandwich.

Size You really can fit quite a bit into a roll if you plan ahead and pack it in well. 8/10

Value for money A bit disappointing being charged $8.50. There is a base charge of $6.50 for a roll, and then extra charges if you exceed a certain weight. It turns out I paid for the extra meat and relish I piled on. 5/10

Quality I think the roll could have been fresher (it didn't taste like it was baked fresh that day), and the jalopenos were a bit dry and bland. Otherise the meat and salads are fresh, and there is generally good variety with the selections, although a few more cheese options would be appreciated. 7/10

Overall If you're too lazy / disorganised to make your lunch at home, or if you want the luxury of hand picking from a large selection of sandwich ingredients without needing a fridge full of tupperware, then this is the place for you. It's a healthy choice in a mostly unhealthy food court, but I wouldn't do it every day. 6/10
