A Subway Mother’s Day/Birthdays Celebration (Review)

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.
