Of course, the prospect of a three course meal in a sandwich is exciting but there was always the concern that it wasn't going to be done well.
The salmon and prawns had more of a Christmas breakfast vibe: there were herbs and cream cheese involved. We personally think that a bit of a crap prawn cocktail can actually bring Christmasy vibes and so we were hoping for that. We would have preferred a bit of Marie Rose sauce; this offering just didn't have enough Christmas connotations to warrant the festive label.
Next up was the turkey. It was a good, basic turkey sandwich but in no way top of the range. It did the simple things well: good moisture, passable turkey and a nice stuffing. This sandwich without the other two would have scored higher.
Finally, the cheddar and fig. This was oversold and sounded much fancier than the reality. It didn't deliver. The fig chutney was festive enough but it was minimal and the slice of cheddar was sub-standard and over-provessed. In Erin's words, "You'd have been better off just sniffing a Christmas plug in and eating a slice of cheese."
5.5/10. Boots hold have focused on doing one thing well, not three things averagely.
