If you happen to follow our good pals down in Bristol, you’ve probably heard of Sandwich Sandwich – the beloved sarnie shop that’s been putting soggy supermarket sandwiches to shame for over ten years.
We Londoners have been watching on begrudgingly for years, and now our prayers sulks have finally been answered. That’s right, folks: Sandwich Sandwich are officially bringing their drool-inducing sarnies to the capital city, and we so (b)ready for them.
If you’ve never heard of Sandwich Sandwich, fear not: Secret London is here with the lowdown. Since opening back in 2012, the family-run business has made quite a name for itself in Bristol. Proudly serving up reasonably-priced, high quality, homemade, and utterly delicious sandwiches across their five sites; it’s pretty easy to see why Sandwich Sandwich has become such an icon on the Bristol lunch scene. It was even crowned UberEats’ Restaurant of the Year last year. So yes, it’s a pretty big deal.
On the menu
With a plethora of fillings to choose from (all of which are made using super fresh, locally sourced ingredients), there really is something for everyone. From hot pastrami and hoisin pulled pork to spicy vegan chicken and posh ham and cheese; each filling is jam-packed between two thick slices of either white, granary or caraway bread. They’ll also be serving up their legendary scotch eggs and some rather sensational-looking sweet treats. What’s not to love?
It’s almost time for London to tuck in, as building works have started for the new site near St Paul’s. No exact opening date has yet been confirmed, but what we do know is that the moment we find out: we’ll be over there quicker than you can say ‘sandwich’.
Sandwich Sandwich will be opening at 1 Gresham Street, EC2V 7BX at some point this spring. Find out more about their mouth-watering sandwiches here.
