Sue says: “We’re delighted to have opened our first drive-thru store and also the first for Subway in the south of England!

“The store is in a great location, situated on a busy main road and close to a retail park – perfect for hungry shoppers and passers-by to stop in for a quick and convenient meal or snack. Being right next door to a Travelodge also opens up another customer base, and with our menu ranging from breakfast to dinner, hotel guests can enjoy a huge choice, without compromising on taste and value.”
