A proper sandwich shop and takeaway café on Bank Street. Fresh fillings made in front of you, brilliant coffee, and a daily special that keeps Rawtenstall coming back.

// About the shop
The Stinky Chef is an independent sandwich shop and takeaway café tucked into 7a Bank Street in the heart of Rawtenstall. We build every sandwich to order — proper bread, generous fillings, the good stuff. No conveyor belts, no clingfilm pre-pack.
Pop in for a quick lunch, grab a coffee on the way through the Valley Centre, or pre-order a stack for the office. Whatever brings you in — we'll feed you well.

// Word on Bank Street
"Myself and my husband went for lunch and got 2 sandwiches to share. They were SO good, made fresh in front of you and reasonably priced."
"Absolutely top quality food. Sandwiches are amazing. Always great range and not the run-of-the-mill standard fillings."
"Great sandwiches — proper fresh, properly stacked. A Rawtenstall lunch staple for me now."
