British Sandwich Week 12th – 18th May 2013

Celebrate the great British staple lunch box component; the sandwich. This was invented by John Montagu, the Fourth Earl of Sandwich. Montagu was a serious gambler that would not like to leave the gaming table whilst playing so instead of having a break for dinner he would ask for some meat between two pieces of bread. From then on his gaming friends would say "I'll have what Sandwich is having". This eventually spread around the country to become a world norm for lunch or a snack.

Competition Time

Share a picture of your sandwich (before you eat it) on our Facebook wall for a chance to win a half price afternoon tea!

Come to The Gonville Hotel and taste our delicious sandwiches at afternoon tea which includes freshly prepared cucumber and cream cheese, smoked salmon, free range egg and watercress finger sandwiches! Not to mention the homemade fruit or plain scones with clotted Cornish cream...
