Sarnie Season: Celebrating British Sandwich Week with a Spicy Twist

As British Sandwich Week returns from 19th to 25th May, it's time to celebrate one of the nation’s most iconic and beloved culinary staples. Whether you're a classic cheese and pickle loyalist or prefer pushing the boundaries of bread-bound creativity, this week offers the perfect excuse to indulge in all things sandwiched.

In the spirit of spotlighting standout sarnies, we’re turning our attention to a bold take on a comfort food classic: the Chilli Cheese Toastie — a fiery twist that’s become a signature dish across three of JKS Restaurants’ much-loved pubs: The Cadogan Arms in Chelsea, The George in Fitzrovia, and The Hound in Chiswick.

This isn’t your average toastie. Layered with gooey, melted cheese and generously seasoned with Chaat masala, this creation brings together the warmth of tradition with a jolt of unexpected spice. Served with a side of Masala Ketchup for dipping (or drenching), the sandwich strikes a satisfying balance between rich comfort and zesty flair. And for those after something a little more indulgent, there’s the optional addition of Ham Hock—because why not take it up a notch?

Each location brings its own charm, but this flavour-packed dish unites them in spirit and spice. Whether you’re sipping a pint in the pub or looking for a lunchtime pick-me-up, this chilli cheese toastie is one to bookmark—and bite into—this British Sandwich Week.
