British Sandwich Week
It's British Sandwich Week from the 20th - 26th May and to celebrate the humble sandwich in all its glory, we are sharing recipes for some of the sandwiches you can enjoy at our hotels.
Club Sandwich
Available at most hotels including Broome Park Hotel, Kent
INGREDIENTS
4 rashers streaky bacon
3 slices white bread
1 tbsp mayonnaise
1 hard-boiled egg, sliced
1 tomato, sliced
few thick slices chicken or turkey breast
small handful salad leaves
handful crisps, to serve, if you like
METHOD
Heat the grill to High and cook the bacon, turning halfway through, until crisp. Toast the bread and spread one slice with the mayo.
Layer on the egg, tomato and bacon, then top with another slice of bread. Add the chicken or turkey, bacon, then lettuce. Finish with the final slice of bread and cut into quarters. Secure with cocktail sticks and serve with crisps, if you like.

1 level-tablespoon reduced-fat mayonnaise
A squeeze of fresh lime

If using part-baked baguette, cook as per instructions. Allow to cool before using. Cut the baguette in half before slicing lengthways to form two sandwiches.
