Lovely blog about Paul Rothe and Son. I discovered it recently, while looking online for somewhere to buy Tiptree jams. Now I make it my first stop on my long weekly walk from Bond Street to Golders Green (via Regent’s Park and Primrose Hill) where one of their outstanding sandwiches sets me up for the journey.

Great post and it brought back some lovely memories for me. I used to pass this shop on my way to work at Scripture Union whose offices were at 47 Marylebone Lane. I worked there as a designer around 1974-75 and used Rothe’s often, mainly on a Friday as a treat. There was also an excellent greasy spoon called The Marylebone Cafe. It was a lovely area to work but a long journey from Hornchurch where I lived at the time. Thanks GE for posting.

What a lovely post! One of my favourite spots in the West End and a constant and reassuring presence in an ever-changing world. We enjoy taking friends and visitors there and seeing their delight at the discovery of such a London gem.

This is such a heart warming post and perfect collaboration…
I have a clear image if you and dear Julia sitting discussing
this and am jealous of the sandwiches you ate.
I will be in London soon and will be sure to visit.
Many thanks and cheers
Deby

Well, Julia’s excellent post is a treat that has made me aware of a London gem that until now was unknown to me. How could I not have known of Rothe’s? Many thanks to you and to Julia for this splendid introduction. Whenever I manage to overcome my Covid-wariness enough to once again visit London, I truly look forward to visiting Rothe’s and having some of that Soup!

Despite living in Beckenham, reading this makes me want to jump in the car and drive across London to get at least one of those sarnies! Yummy yum!

That was such a good tale, it made me hungry. If I wasn’t so far away I’d rush over for soup and a sandwich.

We are near neighbours and have quite a lot in common. I ran James Taylor & Son Bespoke shoemakers in Paddington Street for 40 years and sold the business in 2011. I have written a book of memoir and diary called All Ways Walk Cheerfully and includes quite a lot about Marylebone and the history of the building I partially own. Thank goodness for parents who bought the freehold.
Your customers certainly eat cheerfully.

I really enjoyed reading this article, thank you. I will make it a destination to visit when I’m north of the river.

I loved this blog, 10 years of doing on-call at The Heart Hospital in Marylebone gave me a small area that I could walk and still be in bleeping distance. Rothe & Sons and VV Rouleaux were the two windows that fascinated and entertained 24/7. So thrilled to know what goes on behind the windows.
