The reviewer tries Sammys Sandwich's new Marco Pierre White collaboration featuring two standout sandwiches: a duck in a bun with confit British duck and a Cumbrian smoked chicken Caesar. Both dishes impressed with high-quality ingredients and expert preparation, with the duck being particularly superb and tender.
What was great: The duck in the bun was superb with perfectly soft confit British duck, tender breast and leg, hoisin sauce and cucumber. The Cumbrian smoked chicken Caesar was something special with smoked chicken breast, Caesar sauce, salsa verde, sun-dried tomatoes, bacon and fresh Parmesan broken from a whole wheel.

The Dishes
The featured sandwiches showcase Marco Pierre White's culinary expertise applied to casual sandwich format. The duck in a bun is a showstopper, featuring a whole British duck that Marco confits to perfection. The duck breast is so tender it can be pulled off by hand, and the sandwich includes both the breast and a whole leg, topped with cucumber, hoisin sauce and a bit of salad. The reviewer described the duck as superb and was impressed by the technique and quality.
The Cumbrian smoked chicken Caesar sandwich elevates the classic Caesar with premium ingredients. Marco breaks into a whole Parmesan wheel directly over the sandwich, adding to the theatrical presentation. The sandwich layers smoked chicken breast, Caesar sauce, salsa verde, sun-dried tomatoes, and bacon, finished with more fresh Parmesan. The reviewer called this creation something special.
