On our way back from Cardiff yesterday morning, my fellow travellers and I stopped for a bacon sarnie in the Brecons. We chose “Super Bites”, which is on the A470 above (that is, south of) Brecon.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The van itself is an unassuming structure, staffed by a friendly man who’d been selling sandwiches there for 7 years. Prior to that he’d lived in Cardiff. The service was excellent, and the sandwiches themselves were tasty – my fellow travellers went for mushroom & bacon, but I kept to the purist option of just bacon. <\/p>\r\n![](\"https:\/\/www.hannahdee.wales\/p\/van1.jpg\")

The view was magnificent – my phone camera does not do it justice.<\/p>\r\n![](\"https:\/\/www.hannahdee.wales\/p\/view1.jpg\")
\r\n
Sandwich quality<\/b>: 7\/10. White bread roll, 2 pieces of bacon, some fat but not excessive amounts. Personally I would prefer a choice of brown bread to be available but realise that this is not a universal preference.
\r\nService<\/b>: 9\/10. Very friendly.
\r\nView<\/b>: 10\/10. A stunning location.
\r\nExtras<\/b>: 8\/10. Sauce, tomatoes, mushrooms, egg, and sausages were available, with no surcharge for sauce.<\/p>\r\n
This van may set the high watermark for visits to come… but watch this space!<\/p>\r\n
To see it in Google maps check out this link<\/a> – the streetview pictures look rather nice (it was winter when they drove by).<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Number 1 in a series of n… I’ve decided to start a new blog series, on the bacon sarnie vans of Wales (TBSVOW).
