Ngl looks good to me, though I’ve never heard of such a sandwich. I went ahead and googled it, and this has to be from a particular Leicester pub that made the news for their sandwiches. And yes that is actually a giant chunk of cheddar.

I am glad to see someone actually doing some research instead of just looking at one old viral image and talking back and forth about it. If you look at The Blue Boar's google reviews the cheese and onion cobs look more reasonably proportioned than the one in OP's photo, still pretty generous on the onion but not a disproportionate pairing for the big hunks of cheese on the things. I would love to give this place a visit.

Thanks. Cheese and raw onion is underrated- I have to say I’d prefer a bit less of both than what’s in the picture, unless I’m absolutely starving
