THE SANDWICH THAT STARTED IT ALL®
Sandwich Charter
Our family knows about great sandwiches. We Invented the Sandwich® and have been eating sandwiches since 1762. Drawing on more than 260 years of experience, we bring you Earl of Sandwich®. Our secret is sandwiches baked to order on our famous artisan bread, and traditional family recipes prepared with fresh ingredients. We are a family who loves making sandwiches and sincerely hope you enjoy eating them.
A Noble Beginning
In 1762, John Montagu, the 4th Earl of Sandwich®, invented the meal that changed dining forever. As the story goes, he was playing cards and did not want to leave the gaming table to eat. He asked for a serving of roast beef to be placed between two slices of bread so he could eat with his hands. Thus, the sandwich was born.
The Legacy Continues
Who could be better to continue the tradition of the sandwich than the descendants of its inventor? In 2004, Lord John Montagu, the 11th Earl of Sandwich, and his son, the Honorable Orlando Montagu, direct descendants of the inventor of the sandwich, partnered with Robert Earl, founder and CEO of Planet Hollywood®, to launch the Earl of Sandwich® restaurants.
Our Commitment to Quality
More than 260 years after the invention of the sandwich, Earl of Sandwich® continues the tradition with quality ingredients. Our sandwiches are baked to order on our famous artisan bread, bringing together meats, cheeses, fresh vegetables and signature sauces.
The Original 1762® pairs roast beef, cheddar and horseradish sauce. Holiday Turkey brings familiar favorites like cornbread stuffing, gravy and cranberry sauce together in a sandwich. The Full Montagu® combines roasted beef and turkey with Swiss, cheddar and Earl’s mustard sauce.
The same attention to ingredients carries through to our salads and wraps, with fresh greens, meats, cheeses and dressings in every order. Explore our menu to discover more favorites served at your local Earl of Sandwich®.
We believe in using the highest quality ingredients in everything we serve. Sandwiches are more than a convenience food. They deserve to be carefully crafted and thoroughly enjoyed.
We made the first sandwich. Now we make the best sandwich.
