Legend has it that sandwiches were invented in England by the Earl of Sandwich, a hungry aristocrat who was searching for a bread based snack to sustain him while gambling, a full two and half centuries ago. Fast forward to 2012 and the humble sandwich has become the backbone of many office workers' lunch. For those who are bored of BLTs, tired of tuna and cucumber or sick of the same old chicken salad, you’ll be pleased to know that tibits has launched two new meat free sandwiches to tempt your taste buds. Enter the egg florentine sandwich and the goats cheese and celery sandwich – two tasty and nutritious combos guaranteed to have you looking forward to lunchtime... The new sandwiches cost £3.30 each and are available to eat in or take away at tibits, Heddon Street, from Friday 27 July 2012.

From Monday 23 July up to and including Sun 9 Sept, tibits, Heddon Street, will be open from 8am-12 midnight (Mon-Sat) and from 10.30am-10.30pm (Sun).
