Celebrate with a Grand Afternoon Tea Crumbs! Delicious Afternoon Tea & Show Packages are now available at Blackpool Grand Theatre! Legend has it that the sandwich gets its name from the 18th century Fourth Earl of Sandwich, John Montagu, who was so fond of gambling he never wanted to leave the table. In 1762 he requested that some food be prepared that could be eaten without needing to get up from his gambling table. So, the cook brought him meat surrounded by two pieces of bread and the “Sandwich” was born.
