A cafe which was crowned as having the best sandwiches in town last year is vying to be voted the best again.
Lenny's Cafe in Little Lever is one of the 10 finalists in our Bolton News Best Sandwich Shop 2026 competition.
Lenny's is held in high regard among our readership, having been crowned the best sandwich shop in last year's awards.
Now, it is back in contention and in it to win it!
Owner Leon Boardman will celebrate his ninth anniversary of running the cafe this year.
He said: "We won it last year and have been up for a few awards, we've done well so must be doing something right.
"It was a bit of a shock when we got nominated, we didn't know it was running but then found out we were in the top 10. We're happy to be in it, and I want to win it to be honest. If we're in it, we want to win it.
"I just hope we get as much support as we did last time and that people think we are worthy winners, should we win it."
Leon spoke about how he took the shop on, saying: "My partner's mum and dad have a stall in the same building, they have had it for 35 years, but I used to pop in. I said to the previous owner that if it becomes available then to give us a shout.
"I didn't expect him to actually do it, but here we are."
He added a thank you to his customers and staff, saying: "We couldn't do it without the customers and the support they have given us over the years.
"The staff as well, I couldn't do it without them, they work hard, they do everything they need to do, they go above and beyond if anything."
