We were out running errands in the West End and decided to stop in to review Homemade at No. 11 for a quick lunch. It was a Saturday around lunchtime, so we felt pretty lucky to grab a table without too much hassle.

As the name suggests, it’s very much a sandwich-focused spot, which should be right up our street. That said, we do have quite high sandwich standards. Brie makes a very strong case for just eating at home, so we always end up asking ourselves, would we rather be eating this or one of Brie’s sandwiches? Unfortunately, this didn’t quite pass that test.

We went for the chicken parma and a veggie option with butternut squash and halloumi.

First off, the bread. It was heavily floured, which meant we ended up making an absolute mess. Now, Brie isn’t exactly known for neat eating. As her mum says, you can dress her up but you can’t take her out. But even by those standards, this was chaos.

The veggie sandwich didn’t quite land. The butternut squash completely took over, and somehow the halloumi got lost in it all. Which is impressive, because if we’re ordering halloumi, it’s because we want to taste it. After a few bites, we were a bit done with it.

The chicken parma had potential. The flavours were there, pesto, parmesan, all the right components, but the chicken itself let it down. The pieces were huge and not particularly well seasoned, so it ended up tasting like plain chicken in a sandwich rather than something properly put together.

We also tried the strawberry matcha, which sounded great, but it didn’t really deliver. There wasn’t much strawberry coming through at all, which was a bit disappointing.

Overall, it just didn’t quite hit the mark for us, especially for the price. We really wanted to like it, and maybe we caught it on an off day, but it didn’t give us enough to come back for.

Would we go back?
Probably not. There are too many other sandwich spots in Glasgow we’d want to try first.

Three things to know:

• The menu sounds great, but execution didn’t quite match up for us
• Expect a bit of mess with the bread
• Price-wise, it didn’t feel worth it based on what we had
