The award-winning Sandwich Sandwich is gearing up for its second shop in the capital
After winning the hearts of sarnie-loving Bristolians – and the Uber Eats Restaurant of the Year award in 2023 – family-run sandwich joint Sandwich Sandwich made its first move into London in the summer with a site on Gresham Street. The opening was met with A LOT of fanfare (think 1000-person-long queues on its first day) and the sarnie spot has now been officially dubbed ‘TikTok viral’.
That’s not always a good thing, especially for recent openings, but it seems like Sandwich Sandwich is up for the challenge as the team has now announced plans to launch a second site, also in the City, that they’re claiming will be the biggest sandwich shop in the UK.
At their Bristol site, which was opened 12 years ago by founder Nick Kleiner, they’ve garnered national acclaim for their stacked sandwiches and symmetrical cut-throughs. Sarnies on the menu include the likes of the Rare Roast Beef (with overnight roasted sirloin of beef, red onion, tomato, cheddar & horseradish mayo), Southern Fried Chicken #1 (with sliced southern fried chicken, house coleslaw, spicy Creole sauce) and Posh Ham and Cheese (with pulled ham hock, grated mature cheddar, garlic and parmesan soft cheese, fresh parsley & homemade piccalilli). As well as the set sarnies, you also have the option to create your own from the stacked deli counter.
Sandwich Sandwich 2.0 will take over a 3,500 sq ft space on Mark Lane, near Fenchurch Street, in either December or January. About the vague opening date, Joshua Kleiner, Nick’s son, wrote: “haven’t really got a clue at this stage but all I know is that I’m now preparing myself for another 10 weeks of stress, sleepless nights and 18 hour shifts”. Fair enough. We’ll keep you updated with more info as it comes.
