On Saturday my family of origin had a combined Mother’s Day/Dad’s birthday/Nephew’s birthday celebration. I thought this would be a good occasion to try out Subway catering. Although D and I go to Subway fairly often as a cheap, relatively healthy meal, I don’t think that I have used their catering service before. I remember in elementary/jr. high, the three foot sub was a popular choice for birthday parties. It’s nice to know that some things are still the same.
I ordered the three foot Subway Club (turkey, ham and roast beef) on mixed wheat and white bread. I tried to order online, but I didn’t see an option to use a gift card, so I called up the store. The person who took my order was very polite and helpful. There is a 24 hour notice requirement. They also take your credit card number, but didn’t charge mine, since I was going to use the gift card in store when I picked it up. I arrived about 10 minutes early, but it was ready to go for me in the back. I really appreciated the prompt service.
I also appreciated how it was wrapped securely, and prettily!
It was bigger than I had thought it would be. There were 18 portions, and our family only ate a little more than half. One section was plenty for me. It is way more food than three regular foot long subs. $2/portion is a pretty good deal.
Mustard and mayo packets were included separately in a bag. This was nice so the sandwich did not get too soggy, and people were able to add it to their own portion as they liked. My mom made a potato salad and green salad, along with a chocolate cake (more pics to come). It was a nice meal to share, especially since it was our first dinner since my sister’s family came back from Japan.
Full disclosure: I received a gift card from SUBWAY restaurant, but have not been paid for my opinion/review.
