Sunday 8th May marks the start
of British Sandwich Week – one of our favourites!
We love a really good sandwich
here at Hunters – and it appears so do our customers given how many we sell. (Note
the ‘really good’ bit though – there’s nothing worse than a soggy sarnie.)
We make upwards of 50,000 fresh,
deep filled sandwiches every single year. If those were laid end to end it
would loop an Olympic sized athletics track almost 19 times! Although we’ve no plans to test that
particular theory, it sounds a bit wasteful.
UK consumers are
thought to eat nearly 11.5 billion sandwiches per year, according to the
British Sandwich Association (BSA). Chicken is apparently the most popular
variety across the country, followed by cheese and then ham.
Our best sellers here at Hunters
are our classic roast beef, closely followed by our roast ham and salad. Both
meats are locally sourced and cooked fresh on the premises. Although our very
special Hunters Celebration, which we launched last year to mark our 25th
anniversary, is still proving so popular we’ve had to make it a permanent
addition to the menu! It includes layers of rare
home-cooked roast beef, Harrogate blue cheese and Puckett's Pear and Apricot Chutney,
served in either a white or wholemeal bread bun. All of the ingredients are
locally sourced, with the bread made in Malton, and the chutney produced in
York. Is it lunch time yet??
And of course, the beauty of
where we’re based is there’s no end of spectacular picnic spots to enjoy them
at – the castle, the North York Moors National Park, Sutton Bank, or even just
sat on the steps of the Feversham Monument outside our store, watching the
world go by!
