Reviewing LONDON’S OLDEST SANDWICH SHOP! 

Wow Gary and Mr Cameraman you fell on your feet at this place, and you clearly enjoyed the food. My Daughter watched this clip with me tonight and it took her back to a trip she had to New York two years ago where these sandwiches are served up in there Deli's as the norm, and amazingly similar to yours, including the toasting. I know some may critique the price but as others and i have said before,. you can't put a price on quality, you just can't. Keep up the good work both of you. Chris. PS- Folks if you want a soup just like this or better the secret is beer, (don't laugh) its an old Mrs Beeton's recipe i use (showing my age now, and its one you MUST try ! Hodge-Podge Soup Mrs Beeton Recipe Estimated Preparation Time: 10 minutes Estimated Cooking Time: 3 hours 45 minutes Servings: 4 bowls of soup Non-standard Cooking Utensils: A large pan Ingredients: 900 g (2 lbs) shin of beef or similar cut - chopped into cubes 1.2 litres (2.2 pints) of water 280 ml (½ pint) low strength beer 1 onion - peeled and chopped 1 carrot - peeled and chopped ½ turnip - peeled and chopped 4 sticks celery - chopped 55 g (2 oz) butter (more if thicker soup is wanted) 55 g (2 oz) plain flour (more if thicker soup is wanted) Salt and pepper to taste Cooking Method 1. Simmer the meat, beer and water in a pan for 10 minutes 2. Turn down the heat and skim off any fat from the surface of the soup 3. Add the vegetables and season with salt and pepper. Simmer for 3½ hours until the meat is tender 4. Just before the soup is cooked, melt the butter in a pan over a low to medium heat. Slowly add the flour stirring all the time. This mixture is called "roux" and will thicken the soup. You can use more or less roux depending on how thick you prefer the soup. 5. Slowly add roughly one pint of the soup into the roux, stirring all the time until the mixture is smooth. 6. Add the roux mixture back to the main soup stirring all the time. 7. Simmer for 5 minutes then serve in warm soup bowls accompanied by bread or a roll. Sorry Gary did not mean to steal the Show. Chris.

There are reasons why Roths has survived the decades and you have highlighted each and every one. This is not New York where delis benefit from 19th century immigration of nationalities who understand food. This is London and Roths is a little gem doing what it does best - serve top class food of the highest quality. Whenever we visit London, we never miss lunch at Roths to savour their cuisine and we are never - never - disappointed.

I have no problem paying a higher price for a good sandwich. You can't beat a freshly made sandwich from a good deli. Food and shop looked amazing. No brainer how they have continued for so long. Thank you Gary, great video.

Gary I love all your vlogs but this one was absolutely brilliant, my wife is Italian so I I've been to lots of dell's so so true of what you said, there is a true atmosphere in these shops, the smell,ambiance, the welcome, well done Gary another exceptional video, I will go go to bed tonight with a smile on my face and my stomach rumbling, well done mate keep up the great reviews. Cheers mate.

Hi Gary loved the smile on your face when eating this lovely food. Agree with you giving it 10/10 I was hungry watching this 😀😀

Seriously quality deli and food. Worth every cent!!! I swear the smell inside a great deli is right up there for me in my favourite things on earth. 😊

I am very late seeing this video but so very pleased that you paid a visit to Paul Rothe. I have lived in the area form most of my life and adore this place so it warms my heart that you loved it so much. It's so unpretentious and has stuck to what it does best. Thank you for giving the much deserved golden 10! they truly deserve it.

That was a quality delicatessen Gary. The soup looked delicious, the sandwiches, especially the pastrami, were fabulous. I thought that was excellent value for money, the sandwiches bursting with flavour and content. I love delicatessens and that was a first class establishment. Many thanks for sharing your experience Gary. Enjoyed watching the video 👍👍👍

I can clearly hear the joy in your voice when you ate the soup and sandwiches. I was so envious while watching you eat all that delicious goodness. If I may venture a suggestion for the next time you eat a pastrami sandwich, is to have it on good rye bread. Not only is it traditional, but it makes the pastrami soar to new heights. The prices were quite reasonable in my humble opinion for such quality food. Another winner and I hope you visit it again to sample the other culinary delights. Keep up the great work, and I look forward to your future videos.

You certainly found a little gem there . Well worth a visit. The soup looked amazing . The sandwich to die for . Had loads of jams and preservatives to buy and enjoy . Thanks Gary🤩👍🙏🏼😘

That soup looked amazing. You find all the best places Gary. Another fantastic review.

Hi Gary, Pricey, but i think we can safely say those sandwiches and soup were something special. Worth a visit. All the best, looking forward to the next review.

Hi Gary. Wow what a great looking place. Another well made and enjoyable video. Wishing you well.

I love good soup, I love pastrami and I love a good combo. What a cracking meal. You are knocking it out of the park! The price is good for the quality.

hi gary, good review again, best comfort food in the world, soup and a sandwich, that looked absolutely spot on, thanks again gary.

If it's been family run since the 1900's then they look amazing for their age. 😂. I agree that quality counts and I have no issue paying that price for eating in and enjoying the ambience with such high quality food. The Pastrami and soup must be the secret to their longevity lol 😊

Thank you Gary for reviewing this excellent delicatessen and making us aware of it. I will visit this deli soon. Know the area well, but never knew this deli and how good it is until now

Ooh made me soooo hungry . Could eat that soup and sandwich right now !, great vlog .Thank you .

That pastrami sandwich looked delicious, I would have thought a bread roll would come with the soup.

High quality food there Gary & worth the price. A pastrami sandwich at Katz’s deli in NYC costs around $27 - making your bill look very reasonable.

Really love your reviews Garry. Im catching up with previous reviews as i am new to your channel. Fair and unbiased. You are a gentleman and never give an unfair appraisal. Keep up the fantastic work. Its clear that it is your passion.

Oh Gary I do like a good 😋 Deli,and that looked brilliant. Soup like mama's rich full bodied 😊 Sarnies, a meal in every mouthful. Back in 2015 I was lucky enough to visit New York. The spiritual home of the Delicatessen ❤ I fell in love with two beautiful sites.Carnegie's on 7th and Katz's the address of which I have forgotten. Both heaven on earth (Carnegie's closed the year after my visit 😢)But l'm sure that Katz's is still going.The big difference I noticed, in NY the pace,the hurly burly .And everyone seemed to know everybody else. Both sides of the counters 😊. Price, quality don't come cheap 😢but top quality is worth every penny. Glad CTP got fed this time 😅. Belting video, again ❤ See you on the next one Allan&Family ❤😊

Well done Gary excellent review, really enjoyed it.

What an excellent find Gary. Have to say the pastrami sandwich looked out of this world. And the shop itself - wow - how great that looked. As for the price, not bad for fantastic food in a great place with top notch service in a very expensive part of London. Loving your reviews.

Glad to see you back Gary, Of course I will give it a go. Looks like a nice place. Actually the type of place that’s up my street.

This place looks amazing, working our way through all your videos and loving the tour of (mostly) Great places, keep up the good work

Gary - you have a great channel going. I love the chill vibe , your reviews are calm , cool and collected. Keep it up.

Wow, what a lovely shop, they have quite a selection of jellies and jams. They've been in business all this time, they must be doing something right. I love soup and sandwich for a meal, either lunch or supper, everything looked fantastic. I'll keep this place in mind when I'm in London next.

Wow,that looked amazing,great review as usual

Don't think I've seen a bigger smile on your face Gary, have to say the place looked amazing just up my street and the food too, can't beat scratch made food

Thank you Gary for introducing me to new restaurants. Will definitely GIVE IT A Go.. 😊

I’m loving this place ! Thank you for showing this fantastic delicatessen 🎉it’s on my my next visit when I’m here in London . From Yokohama Japan

Brilliant review that soup looked fantastic. The sandwiches amazing. Not cheap but all quality. This is a most definite 10.

Hi Gary that looked amazing food and place. the price was fair to be honest .I would love that delicatesant great review 👍👍

Wow those sandwiches looked amazing and the place itself was fab. Soup is soup to me but you certainly sold this one. Great review of quality food 👍

Hi Gary, what a place, I reckon they had more varieties of Tiptree, jams and preserves than my local Sainsbury's and that's a pretty big supermarket. One look at your face told us all we needed to know about the food you ate, made and served with love. We are so lucky in London, to have access to all these wonderful places. Although it's a big city, with our transport system, you are never that far away. If I was as young and fit as you, I'd be there tomorrow and I know I'd enjoy it every bit as much as you did. Thanks once again for a really great review, also, the sort of place that other reviewers on RU-vid, might not bother with, their loss, our gain. All the best mate, keep up the good work.

Wow..I'm so glad you went there.. their food really is first class. I know... great review..kind regards Dave 😁👍👍👍👍👍

never seen you look s happy, great review, thanks

That is a good deli! The bread on those sandwiches looked really tasty and the ingredients so fresh. Soup excellent and piping hot and a good bowl of it as well. What a gem of a place and i have made a note to get there. I would pay that price for that quality. I love pastrami so i too would be in heaven. Definitely a 10 gary😀👍

Gary, the New York has thousands of great delis with great sandwiches and salads. The displays of products was and is truly amazing in your video and makes me want to visit the UK very, very soon.

Wow that place looks fantastic what a beautiful little shop

I never mind paying for quality. Another great video Gary.

I’ve just tried this place out, without a doubt it was probably the best bought sandwich I’ve had in years. Added to my list of preferred eateries. Thanks Gary.

Fantastic Deli. Soup looked top class, tasty, meaty. Sandwich, crammed with pastrami and condiments, fresh. Gammon and salad looked great too. Bit pricey but you pay for quality and it is London. Solid 10/10 from me.

That soup looked so delicious warmed me up just looking at it will def have to try this place great video 😊👍

You say Oh Wow... I thought that before you started. It looks amazing

What a great video. Quality always costs that little bit more and rightly so! If anywhere deserves one of your perfect 10s it looked like that place. Not a chain, food done right and at a reasonable price. Love it.

60k+ subscribers - great job Gary. Love your vids. x

Good food nice place lovely people, happy days.

Hi Gary, the food looks absolutely delicious enjoy. Thank you so much for your expectations

I used to work round the corner to this is place. Absolutely amazing sandwiches. Top notch food, polite staff, love it!

Oh gosh,I’m blown away 👌🙌☺️☺️ I am a sandwich person- and appreciate greatly,a good sarnie. The hours it takes to make the pastrami is overlooked often. And I’m a ham connoisseur and that as well looked beautiful. The soup.am in awe how good that looked. Loved this. Am inspired- yes. You were definitely in your happy place in this episode.would love to see more delis The hunt for a better sandwich? Awesome

Nice one Gary - I'm afraid I would have to put my wallet under lock and key at this shop. Fabulous. If it looks good and smells good - it is most likeley awesome :) Nice review as ever. Fabulous to see your channel growing with each review! Top dollar, but given the quality - yes, everytime.

Not been for many a year but great seeing the standard is still so high Yet another superb video you are growing very quickly but you have the potential to get massive on this platform and it will be very well deserved

What an absolutely fabulous deli, just love places like that. Yes, a bit pricey but you’re in central London and you are paying for the quality also. There’s actually also a knack to making a good sandwich, and they looked fab. The soup reminded me, in looks, of Oxtail soup, but most definitely of a superior quality. Great vlog, and something different. I always wonder where we are going next

Lovely! Must go!

Congratulations on your momentous achievement you deserve the praise.... The fish and chips looked nice as did the big prawns and the scotch egg but I know it's Mayfair but blooming eck that's expensive. Great review here's to the next 100,000 Gary 🎉😊

What beautiful food. The joy on your face as you had the soup and sandwiches was only matched by the picture you painted by opening it up so we could see inside. Very pricey for me but it doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy every morsel as you consume it. 👍

I went to school in Marylebone and my dentist is in Wimpole street just round the corner from Paul Rothe & sons, I have walked past the deli hundreds of times and looked in through the window at their wares yet have never eaten inside, after watching your mouth watering film and recommendation next time I'm passing I will step in for soup and a sandwich.

This is a proper deli isn't it? I'd go a long way for a good one, but sadly this is too far away unless visiting London, but I definitely will next time I'm there. A good pastrami is always well worth travelling for and I can nearly taste and smell the beef and onion soup. It just looks as if it's bursting with flavour. And those sandwiches are pure culinary heaven! The bread....... Mmmmmm! Don't save that last sandwich for later Gary. Save it for me! A lovely review Gary but in a sense it's its own review as it's lasted so long as a business! No outrageous prices so far as I'm concerned. It's all A1. 10 out of 10 indeed!

Loved this really want to go and try the Pastrami sandwich but especially on rye and the soup sounded sooo good. My husband and I now want to try and make some homemade Beef and onion soup. One of your best reviews ever and 've seen most of them. Nice one Gary

Looked fantastic! Best wishes from Tassie.

Walked past this shop many a time. Next time must go in and sample some food, looks amazing. Thanks for sharing

That is right up my street! Being able to eat there and buy food!!! Looked really good although a touch pricy for an every day work time lunch but as you say, cheaper for take out. Hubby Joe would love the pastrami but hold the pickles for both of us. Another great review, Gary. Keep up the good work!

As a new fan, I'm still looking through all the videos. This may have been expensive, but the quality and quantity were outstanding. Great review and rating.

The food looks delicious and great looking Deli. In Northern Ireland here, we have a lot of family run deli's. 😃

Gary, Paul Rothe & son.. The soup looked a lovely thick texture, I'd say a perfect 10. The Pastrami sandwich, i could see you really enjoyed, You had a smile on your face throughout, the toasted gammon sandwich was also extremely good! This has to be a 10/10 like you quoted 👍 Great review with Great food! Cheers 🍻

The shop's layout was nothing short of stunning , had vintage all over it . I suppose if you want to treat yourself to the best now and again money shouldn't be an issue .

Good review Gary,I was surprised when you said it was your first visit to a deli.The sandwiches I felt would have been better on rye bread,the pickles always come on the side here,usually a whole pickle,the price was the same as most places in NY but forget about Katz’s it’s for tourists,though their sandwiches are incredible,there would be at least3 times the meat on them,and samples while you wait for them to make your sandwich.Rare roast beef,with mayonnaise on rye is a rare treat for me,so good.Soup looked like my mom’s oxtail,which I loved.

Oh that pastrami looked amazing , brought back memories of my late mother who had a terrific Jack Russell who loved pastrami and so cute he got more than I did .

This looked awesome. Love a good pastrami sandwich 😊

Gary, I would definitely pay those prices for that standard of food! I love wee places like this.... looks amazing! I😊

Making me terribly hungry. I not finished watching, but I am rating a 10! Blessings from Texas,USA. 🎉🎉🎉🎉

It is so good to see a soup served that has all the flavors, every time I eat out and get soup its taste's is normally watery and seems to be made just to fill the batch for the day. I am sure this time with the sandwiches you shared with the poor camerman :) :)

Hi Gary delicatessen looks great . Nice to see the soup is really hot. Bread looked great. I will be up town next week so may give it a visit. Bit pricey but its the area.

The place itself looks wonderful and the food fantastic. Am feeling a bit out of sorts today so could just do a bowl of that soup, it looked truly delicious A great review, yes it was expensive but I have no issue paying for a quality product and that is obviously top notch!

Gary that’s my kind of food , would have no problem spending that on quality soup & sandwiches like those , a good sandwich is as good as anything especially containing quality fillings like those & bread to die for , as always another down to earth great review 👍🏻🌟👍🏻🌟👍🏻

what a find.!.well deserved 10.

20 years since I last stepped foot in there , will be making a beeline again to there next year. Great Video.

Looked fabulous

That was brilliant Gary, nice to know where these places are, not always has to be fried stuff 👍

Looks like you've found a gem there Gary ! Be good if you could go there again sometime & try something else. Those sandwiches were out of this world & the soup was terrific also ! Nice atmosphere & very good service & as they say, 'You get what you pay for" and you got quality so it was money well spent !

Wow! Another restaurant added to the list🎉

Really enjoying all your views Gary; been a subscriber for about a month now. We need more videos up in Yorkshire!

Worth the score Gary and the food looked fantastic especially the soup don’t mind paying a little bit extra for food you know you will enjoy

What a fantastic, fantastic establishment! My kind of place….

Love a good sandwich. Went to Katz in NYC and it was £30 for just the sandwich. Also the staff were spectacularly rude. The food was delicious though and the size of the sandwich is roughly three times bigger than you had. Soup looked really nice. If the soup is properly seasoned that's always a good sign. I have to say, your sandwiches looked small but you said the pastrami flavour was excellent so thats good news. I do like a toasted sandwich. Another outstanding review. Soup was a good price. The pastrami sandwich looked fantastic but the gammon could have done with a slice more!! It's a 9 for me.

don't know how I missed this one Gary but it came up on my feed and im glad it did, It's hard to get real good pastrami and that looked incredible, we have some fantastic delis in Belfast the most famous being Sawers which is also over 100 years old and serves an incredible array of food from here and across the world, really enjoyed this review, absolutely love delis, maybe more deli review in the future? all the best Gav

Looks an amazing place Gary. Need to check it out. Top channel.

Not expensive. Quality nice surroundings and well presented worth every penny.

Hi Gary, honestly, I think this is my most favourite review so far! The food looked perfect in every way and your review of it was amazing! 10/10 for the food and 10/10 for your review. Thank you.

That looked spot on , i used to love having a salt beef sandwich in soho ,sadly no longer there ,Good review again Gary

Looks amazing, would actually visit London just to try this place.

I do like Marylebone. Been to a couple of Deli's there both of which have proved to be surprisingly good. Pricey? Not especially given it's the West End. May give Paul Rothe & Sons a go next time I'm passing through.. Nice find, Gary..

Great revue of some of my favourite food, pastrami. It did look superb and the price, in my opinion, was reasonable. In Montreal where you can find great deli's, the price for a sandwich is about $28 cad. Which is somilar to your price. These sandwiches are served with ff's and coleslaw with a pickle on the side. Food of the Gods. If you ever come here ask for a Reuben or a Dunns smoked meat sandwich on rye bread or pumpernickel. Heavenly. As always, great mouthwatering video.

Pastrami looked wonderful Gary 🇮🇪

Wow. Must get along. Soup looked great. Suggestion: la Barca, Waterloo? Old skool Italian

There used to be many sandwich shops like this in Central London but they have become rarer as the chains, such as Pret, have taken over. The prices are very steep though.

That looked quality! The soup a definite A1 and the pastrami always goes down well! Gammon is only good from a deli tbf as its always gonna be good. The price was fair and the sandwiches looked nicely balanced so top tier! If you ever get a chance, go to NYC USA For a Katz's hot pastrami on rye sandwich for comparison! Nice one Gary!

looked really lovely gary
