Paul Rothe & Son is a historic family run delicatessen at 35 Marylebone Lane. Established in 1900 and now operated by the fourth generation, it combines a traditional sandwich counter with a small café and shelves packed with preserves and condiments. The original fittings and close set Formica tables give lunch here a character that cannot be manufactured.
Sandwiches are made to order in soft sliced bread with a remarkably broad choice of fillings. Pastrami with pickles is a much loved combination, while ham, cheese and piccalilli offers a classic British alternative. Smoked salmon with lemon, prawn cocktail, egg, chicken and many other deli ingredients allow each customer to create a straightforward personal favourite.
A freshly prepared soup of the day adds warmth to the lunch selection and has drawn regular customers for generations. Sandwiches and soup can be eaten at the counter or taken away, making the delicatessen practical for both a short stop and a quiet sit down meal. Coffee and familiar cold drinks complete the immediate café offering.
Jars of jam, marmalade, honey, mustard, chutney, pickle and other condiments line the walls around the dining tables. This retail collection preserves the shop’s original delicatessen purpose while giving visitors plenty to take home. More than a century of family service, simple food and an unchanged Marylebone atmosphere make Paul Rothe & Son a distinctive London lunch address.
