The official description for this sandwich is:
Rare roast British beef with horseradish mayonnaise and lettuce on white breadThis sandwich has suffered from a classic case of overmayonation; the quality of the beef (as good as you would expect from M&S) is sadly masked by an overpowering layer of creamy mayonnaise, making it difficult to enjoy the other ingredients. It doesn't help that this is supposed to be 'horseradish mayonnaise', but there is only the merest hint of horseradish – it is so mild, it may as well not really be there at all.
Unfortunately, this results in a sandwich which is bland and unsatisfying. Personally, I would prefer just horseradish sauce, not a specially flavoured mayonnaise, and I would like it to have a bit more bit to it.
I would not buy this sandwich again.

The term Roast Beef is ordinary but the Horseradish Mayo really catch me but first I would like to personally taste it before my final judgement.

I would buy this sandwich 1000 more times. Tried it yesterday and it was delicious connection of beef, soft bread and mayo!
I really enjoyed this sandwich too but I have a couple of questions! Can you just mix mayo and horseradish sauce if you wanted to recreate sandwich? And finally does anyone know what type of lettuce they use? I asked M&S customer service but they did not know and were supposed to get back to me but never did. It was too dark for lettuce. Watercress maybe???
This sandwich could be so much better than it is - clggy bread that sticks to the roof of your mouth because of the excessive horseradish mayo and the beef isn’t really rare. Instead of crisp lettuce, the suppliers usually use baby spinach leaves because they have a longer shelf life.
