The club sandwich has long been a favorite of sandwich lovers, lunchtime diners, and even royalty since the late nineteenth century. A modern and more expensive version of the club sandwich was just created in Berkshire, England by James Parkinson, the Executive Head Chef for the von Essen collection.

Parkinson wanted to refurbish the club sandwich after traveling around the world and noticing the sandwich on almost every hotel menu he saw. He wanted to create a club worthy of a five star hotel stay and at the same time include the very finest ingredients for a truly unique sandwich eating experience.

Costing £100 ($197 USD), the recently launched “von Essen Platinum Club Sandwich” is now the world’s most expensive sandwich. This club has many culinary delights and surely will not disappoint even your most discriminating “foodie”. We should note that you can’t eat the expensive sandwich anywhere but at the Cliveden’s Waldo Restaurant in Berkshire, which boasts a Michelin Star, one of the most distinguished culinary ratings.

If you think your local deli has a good club wait until you hear this sandwich’s ingredients. The most expensive club sandwich is proudly made of Iberico ham, poulet de Bresse, white truffles, quail eggs, semi-dried Italian tomatoes and 24-hour fermented sour dough bread, and weighs 530 grams.

The extremely rare ham is air-cured for nearly 30 months and comes from a black-footed pig, with the poulet de Bresse being a well-known delicacy in its own right. The 10 grams of white truffles on the sandwich provide a rich taste that compliments the sandwich’s flavors immensely.

“The Platinum Club sandwich is made from the very finest ingredients and the taste is simply sublime. It’s a sandwich that lives-up to the sumptuous setting of Cliveden and its magnificent culinary pedigree.” Notes chef James Parkinson.
