As a long standing Wrexham AFC fan of many years who lives out-of-town I often grab my pre-match grub on my way to the Racecourse, often at the (now world famous) Turf butty van next to the ground. One place I have often walked past, but never actually ventured into, is La Baguette on Regent Street.
Situated just a few hundred yards from the famous old ground, the locally-run café and sandwich shop has recently been taken over and has had rave reviews since its reopening. Local couple Josh and Claire have taken over and have been doing a roaring trade since - especially with the hungry matchday crowd.
After hearing positive things I decided to pay them a visit. I arrived on a Wednesday morning just after they'd finishing serving breakfast.

I took a good look at the gigantic menu board and decided to sample one of their chicken tikka baguettes (I had to, given the name of the place!). It set me back £4.75 - very reasonable given the size of it.
The first thing to mention is that the baguette itself was of the crusty variety - right up my street. The salad was liberally apportioned also and there was plenty of filling.

I went in for my first bite and I was not disappointed - far from it. The beautiful crusty bread was very much a supporting act for the gorgeous chicken tikka filling and deliciously fresh salad.

The chicken was wonderfully tender and the tikka sauce wasn't too spicy, just right in fact. All in all La Baguette thoroughly deserves the praises that customers have been singing in recent times.
My only problem now is that I'm going to have to leave for Wrexham games ten minutes early in future. I've now decided that a chicken tikka baguette is now on my matchday itinerary.
I'm not the only one as well, with plenty of match-going Dragons fans also saying in their online reviews that they have enjoyed their pre-match meal-on-the-go with La Baguette ideally placed for a post-pint pre-match bite. Who is to say whether or not there might even be a few Hollywood visitors in the near future?
