Earl of Sandwich Franchise Business Overview

Company History

Earl of Sandwich is a collaboration between Robert Earl and a direct descendant of the fourth Earl of Sandwich, John Montagu, who is credited with inventing the sandwich in 1762. As First Sea Lord, he commanded the mighty British Navy, was a noted explorer, and also a dedicated gambler with a love of day long card games. This lead to little time for food, so he came up with the ingenious idea of putting meat between two slices of bread. From then on it did not matter if you were fighting a great sea battle or laying down a Royal Flush, you could eat great food without too much fuss. Now, more than 240 years later, John Montagu, the 11th Earl of Sandwich and his son Orlando are re-inventing and reclaiming their culinary namesake.
