BAKERY SANDWICH SHOP

OF THE YEAR

WINNER

Waterfields Select shop, Bradshawgate, Leigh won the prestigious award of Bakery Sandwich Shop of the Year at the
2007 British Sandwich Awards held in London.

This national award seeks to recognise individual bakery shops in the UK that are leading the way in retailing sandwiches.

The product range in the Select shop concentrates on providing a varied selection of sandwiches, filled rolls, soups and savouries geared towards the breakfast and lunchtime trade for customers

to 'eat on the go'. 

A variety of cold drinks and Fair Trade Coffee, freshly brewed on the premses is also on sale together with a range of cakes and

individual confectionery lines.  The produce range is constantly under review so customers never get bored and there's always something new to try.

 

NEW SANDWICH OF THE YEAR

WINNER

Waterfields Creamy Lancashire Cheese & Real Ale Chutney served on Fruit Bread.

Waterfields successfully competed against entries from Marks and Spencer and Tesco in this category.

We have found, over many years experience that customers like good honest food and this was our inspiration when creating this award winning sandwich.

Bread forms the major part of a sandwich and we have 80+ years of craft skills in making quality breads.  Our goal is to achieve a full flavour, good crust and firm slice, matching the freshest bread with

the right filling to produce a tasty combination of flavours.

The idea of developing a special fruit bread as a sandwich carrier for our award winning sandwich, came from years ago when fruit cake was traditionally served with cheese.

Waterfields recipe fruit bread is packed with top quality sultanas, rich diced mixed peel and succulent currants.  The distinctive creamy Lancashire cheese is a regional product made in central Lancashire and the chutney is heavily fruited and contains real ale.

Recognition from a third party gives our sandwiches extra

credibility and also give us something to shout about.
