Spanky Van Dykes, Nottingham

Yeah we went back... We enjoyed it so much the first time we went (see the review here), that we went back when my sister visited! Of course we didn't get the same thing again so it is a different review! We went to Spanky's on a Thursday this time so no 2-4-1 offer :( Please see our other review if you'd like more information on the restaurant itself and its staff!

My sister, Charlotte, chose to have "The Hippy" burger (£4.95), which is a spicy spinach and lentil burger with hummus.

This burger was very tasty but it wasn't as spicy as Charlotte thought it would be. She also says that it was impossible to pick up, a definitely knife 'n' fork job, due to the fact that the burger just fell apart. The hummus was a lovely addition to the burger and the chips were tasty, just a little too greasy.

Mario and I decided to have a sandwich this time as, as the saying goes, variety is the spice of life! All of the sandwiches are served with Spanky's handmade chips. Mario chose to have a NY Deli sandwich (£5.50), which was filled with pastrami, sauerkraut, emmental cheese and "dressing".

This sandwich was delicious and had a tangy tomato relish.  The variety of meats were delicious and were truly enhanced by the sauerkraut. An addition of American mustard really made this sandwich that bit tastier.

I decided to go for the American Swiss sandwich (£5.50) which was a BLT with added CC (chicken and cheese), and how can you go wrong with a BLTCC?!

So the BLT is my favourite sandwich and this was no disappointment. The bacon was smoked beautifully and the chicken was delicious, not dry at all. The emmental cheese added a creamy element. The tomato was a lovely flavour and the lettuce added a gorgeous crunch. With a little mayonnaise, this sandwich soared! I was disappointed with this chips this time. They weren't as crispy as I remembered them to be and were even soggy, but that may have just been my poor memory!

Once again, this restaurant is a great place to eat!! We would definitely recommend it. See our other blog post for more information about this great place :)
