The next best thing since sliced bread, sandwiches are a British tradition and an iconic culinary invention.

From cheesy goodness, to meat lover’s dreams and veggie delights, there’s so much choice when it comes to great sandwiches.
Taking place from Sunday 20th May to Saturday 26th May, enjoy British Sandwich Week 2018 by sampling some of the city’s very best butties.
