Lunchtime Sandwich Ideas

Ham & cheese or PB & J, we all love a classic, but these lunchtime sandwich ideas take the humble sanger into the stratosphere!

Time-honoured traditionals include the gorgeously gooey grilled cheese, and succulent steak sandwiches. And if you’re looking for something a little more simple for lunch with a tastebud-tingling twist, how about a cajun salmon sandwich with goat’s cheese, an avocado and smoked maple bacon sandwich with bacon jam, or a juicy pulled pork with black pepper vinegar sauce and spring onion coleslaw creation. And for a sky-high stack, you can’t go wrong with a colossal club! 

Our lunch sandwich ideas are simply scrumptious!
