British Sandwich Week runs 19^th – 25^th May 2025. We love any excuse to celebrate sandwiches here at Becketts Farm. We have our very own Sandwich Bar here in our Farm Shop where we are passionate about making your sandwich, your way!

Did you know? The first sandwich dates back to the 1700’s! The Earl of Sandwich is known to have wanted to enjoy a quick bite to eat, rather than be distracted by formal dining during his day. Instead, he demanded his servants served him some meat between two slices of bread. Eventually, his close companions used to request “the same as Sandwich” and so comes the term “sandwich”. Fast forward over 300 years later and this lunchtime staple is still thoroughly enjoyed across the country.#

Each day, our Sandwich counter is stocked with freshly baked breads from our onsite Bakery, and the team prepare over 30 different fillings for you to choose from. Creating your favourite sandwich has never been easier, watch our fantastic team create you your perfect sandwich there and then.

We thought we’d introduce you to some of the amazing team who work at the Sandwich Bar, starting off with the department Manager, Lorna.
