Our Story
Paul Rothe & Son began its journey over a century ago, founded by Paul Rothe, who emigrated from Germany with dreams of establishing a delicatessen in London. Starting as a German deli, the shop has evolved over the decades, adapting to the changing tastes of its clientele while preserving its rich heritage. Today, it stands as a testament to enduring family tradition, with Paul’s descendants continuing to uphold the values and quality that have defined the establishment for generations .
A Sandwich Lover's Paradise
The heart of Paul Rothe & Son lies in its extensive sandwich menu. With over 30 fillings and seven types of bread, the combinations are nearly endless. Popular choices include:
-
Pastrami with Swiss Cheese, Mustard, and Pickles: Thinly sliced pastrami paired with creamy Swiss cheese, tangy mustard, and crisp pickles, creating a harmonious blend of flavors.
-
Egg Mayonnaise and Anchovy: A classic combination where creamy egg mayo meets the salty punch of anchovies, best enjoyed on their soft white bread.
-
Coronation Chicken: Tender chicken pieces enveloped in a mildly spiced curry mayonnaise with hints of sweetness from raisins.
Each sandwich is made to order, ensuring freshness and allowing customers to customize their meal to their liking.
