The next best thing since sliced bread, sandwiches are a British tradition and an iconic culinary invention.
Ever since John Montagu, the 4th Earl of Sandwich ordered cold beef between slices of toast, to avoid getting up from his card game, his name has become synonymous with the delectable dish.
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.
