Hungry Jacks, Follingsby Park industrial estate, Gateshead.

For months the lads at work had been buying breakfast and lunch from this unassuming little sandwich van on the stretch of disused road that runs alongside the new road into the industrial estate on which we work. I had seen a lot of dirty things coming from that place - a burger in a pasty being about the worst.

Never one to put my own personal health before THE QUEST, I decided to try out their bacon sandwich.

The Review
I had to wait for what seemed like a lifetime, I say a lifetime, it was only enough time to read the Daily Star cover to cover so probably more like ten minutes. The sandwich itself was delicious, perhaps because I'd waited so long, the fact that there were multiple layers of bacon was a plus but by the final mouthful it's saltiness had become too much to bear. Excellent price for the size of the sandwich.

didn't get no drink, though tea in a polystyrene cup was available.

The break-down, scored out of a maximum of five.
