The sandwiches are the best. They are always filled well, and the combinations are delicious. They are made to order with fresh ingredients, and you can really taste the difference! They are so popular, do it's worth calling ahead with your order and pick it up. And check out the cakes- they're too good! Follow them on Instagram for updates of what cakes they have in stock! The staff are lovely and so helpful - I love visiting them!

Been to Nora’s quite a few times now. Love it there! Delicious food available (Green Goddess is best vegetarian sandwich I’ve had in absolute ages). Great value and friendly, helpful staff. My partner would tell you to check out the homemade sausage rolls- best she’s ever tasted (and she’s a tough food critic!). Highly recommend a visit and check out the sunny outdoor seating area out the back.

Nora’s is one of the best sandwich shops I’ve ever been too, the quality of food they use is absolutely amazing and at such a reasonable price. The homemade cakes (especially brownies) are so delicious. They are so friendly and welcoming, definitely worth a try

Great little sandwich place that has a small menu that they do extremely well. I had the “chicken one” last time which was great and the grilled veggies one this time which was even better. Will definitely be visiting again.

Popped in for a simple tea and toast breakfast for two. Delicious food and great prices, I have also enjoyed take away sandwiches before. The staff make this place and with an outside seating area and on street parking, it's the quieter end of Portland Road.
