It’s British Sandwich week

At UKVending we like to think we know all there is to know about vending machines and we also know that a good vending machine should always have a good selection of fresh and healthy sandwich options. So, we were delighted to hear that this week is officially British Sandwich Week. So, what exactly is it all about?

British Sandwich Week is a week-long celebration of the greatest food to go and quite possibly the most iconic British culinary invention, the Sandwich.

The humble sandwich is celebrated in all its glory during British Sandwich Week and year on year the buzz around the week seems to grow with more and more companies using the week to promote their business. #BritishSandwichWeek trends across twitter during the week and newspapers, magazines, TV shows and radio programmes join in celebrating what is a staple British lunch.

Sandwich manufacturers and retailers across the UK all have their own way of celebrating this fantastic food, many offering special promotions and new ranges during British Sandwich Week.

Several will also be building on their charitable links by donating some of their proceeds or even having buy-one-donate-one initiatives for customers to take part in.

On the theme of celebrating, the sandwich industry also holds its annual Awards, the Sammies, where the Best New Sandwich, Sandwich Retailer of the Year and many more are crowned.
