John Montagu, 11th Earl of Sandwich

John Montagu, 11th Earl of Sandwich

John Edward Hollister Montagu, 11th Earl of Sandwich (born April 11 1943) is a British entrepreneur, politician and nobleman.

Montagu is the eldest son of Victor Montagu, who disclaimed the earldom of Sandwich in 1964, and his first wife Maud Rosemary (née Peto). He succeeded his father in the earldom in 1995 and is one of the ninety elected hereditary peers that remain in the House of Lords after the passing of the House of Lords Act 1999. He sits as a cross-bencher.

Taking advantage of the fame of one of his ancestors, John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich, who is the man known for popularizing the sandwich in England in the 18th century, he opened a sandwich shop, "Earl of Sandwich", at Downtown Disney Marketplace in Walt Disney World Resort. The restaurant is a collaboration between him and Robert Earl, founder of the Planet Hollywood chain.

Lord Sandwich married (Susan) Caroline, daughter of Reverend Perceval Hayman, on July 1 1968, and they have three children.
