Contract caterer Compass celebrates British Sandwich Week

12th May 2010, 10:47am

To coincide with British Sandwich Week, Compass Group UK & Ireland has launched a new British breakfast sandwich offering.

The sandwich, which celebrates the "full English" breakfast, uses British Lincolnshire sausage, British sweetcure bacon, free range egg and chunky tomato chutney.  The sandwich is part of the Compass' award-winning Origin Foods range.

The sarnie is currently being introduced to 1,500 of Compass' Origin Café locations around the country, including workplaces, hospitals, colleges and defence sites.

Adam O'Connor, category manager of Sandwich & Deli, Compass Group UK & Ireland, commented: "Grab-and-go foods are increasingly popular for time-poor employees in the workplace and the sandwich represents the ultimate in convenience and choice. 

"There is also a growing tendency for employees to regularly eat breakfast in the workplace and to graze throughout the day so by creating the Great British All Day Breakfast Sandwich, we hope to satisfy people's hunger throughout the day."

British Sandwich Week runs from 9-15th May.
