Whelan The Crusty Cob Shop

Whelan The Crusty Cob Shop on Gipsy Lane is one of the more established cob-shop businesses on this long north Leicester road, offering the full East Midlands sandwich shop experience: filled cobs, toasties, paninis, and hot snacks throughout the day. Gipsy Lane runs through the Belgrave and Rushey Mead residential areas, providing a steady flow of local customers from the surrounding streets and the Gipsy Lane industrial and retail units. The cob-shop format has been a community staple in north Leicester for decades.
