The story is that John Montague, the Fourth Earl Of Sandwich, was such an enthusiastic gambler that he didn't like leaving the gambling table whilst playing. So, instead of breaking for dinner, he asked that someone bring him some meat between a couple of slices of bread. Later on, others would do the same saying something like "I'll have what Sandwich is having" and, eventually, people would just ask for a "Sandwich"
Nowadays the humble sandwich has become big business in the catering industry and fillings and bread types have become far more adventurous than in the days of The Fourth Earl Of Sandwich!!
At The Nook On The Square , because our daily lunch menu changes each week, I am always changing our sandwich fillings to keep things interesting for the customer and, also, because it keeps me on my toes always looking for new ideas.
Below is just a small selection of what we have produced the past year.
Our take on the New York Reuben - home cooked beef pastrami, sauerkraut, pickles and Russian dressing all served on toasted sourdough.
