Here at Bon Appetit, we are renowned for our delicious custom sandwiches, but with autumn upon us, sometimes you might fancy something a bit more comforting, that brings warmth and flavour too. Luckily, we are more than just a sandwich shop!

Although we do believe we are the best sandwich shop Colchester has available, we also provide a range of seasonal hot specials that are perfect for this time of year. But it doesn’t stop there, we can supply you with what we think is the most delicious buffet catering and corporate catering Colchester has to offer.

In this blog, we’ll cover some of our favourite options for hot specials this autumn, from warming soups to indulgent pasta and rice bowls. We pride ourselves on offering competitive prices too, with most dishes coming in at just £5 or under!

Pasta Dishes

We’re sure you’ll agree that the ultimate comfort food for the cooler weather is something hearty like our pasta dishes, one of our favourite options out of the hot specials that we have available.

One of our best options is our chicken pesto penne pasta which is creamy, nutty and light making it ideal for lunchtime. We also offer bolognese & penne pasta, an ultimate classic which is as timeless as it is comforting on a chilly day. Our vegan version of the classic bolognese may be more to your tasting featuring ‘lentil ragu and penne pasta’.

Hearty Rice & Meat Bowls

Our robust, flavourful dishes pack a punch of warmth and spice. From juicy king prawns in a sweet chilli sauce served with fluffy rice to the classic chilli con carne and chicken curries.

Street Style Eats

We offer a range of street-style eats which are great hot specials to opt for if you’re on the go, so whether you’re enjoying bonfire night, preparing for Halloween or are simply out and about this autumn, we have you covered.

One of our firm favourites for this time of year has to be our chilli dogs, which feature a combination of spicy homemade chilli, sausage and gooey cheese to make it a standout comfort food for on-the-go.
Another popular choice is our crispy Cajun-spiced wedges which are served with either spicy Sriracha or creamy mayo. They’re perfect on their own or as a side to any of the pasta or rice dishes.
