About O'Brien's Irish Sandwich Bars

While the focus for O'Briens has always been on healthier choices, they constantly strive to introduce a more ethical way of doing business with organic deli dishes and snacks, a wide variety of gourmet coffees where a growing percentage of beans come direct from the grower, and Fairtrade and organic tea. O'Briens has a greater variety within its Tossed Salads and healthy Wrappo ranges, which are perfect for lighter meals during the warmer spring and summer months. For autumn and winter, the menu moves more towards the warming hot organic roast carvery, traditional and specialty soups, not to mention toasted sandwiches, in all shapes and forms. O'Briens has more than 300 stores providing the healthy food option in 13 countries across Europe, Asia, Australia and Africa. Their reputation has been shaped on their famous made-to-order hot or cold sandwiches.

Second, we use a wide selection of breads, hand-sliced meats and cheeses to create any of our twenty three incredible sandwiches. Our ingenious combination of fresh, unique ingredients and condiments consistently causes our customers to remember yesterday's lunch with a smile when today's lunch break rolls around. Third, we make each Murphy's Deli the ideal place for patrons to eat with friends or associates.
