Managing director Wayne Chadwick said: “The attention has overwhelmed us. We are a really small family business whose heart is in York.
“We were born here and traditionally we are known for our pork sandwiches and wraps.
“We came up with the idea two years ago but didn’t start selling it until March of this year.

“When we launched it in March it immediately took up 20 per cent of the business.
“Now I just want to meet customer demand, but we are a bit shocked.
“I don’t know why it has gone so huge on social media, but I think it just captures the imagination.”

Chaan Radley, manager of the Low Petergate shop, said: “It has been really busy all day.
“The wrap has always been a popular and we are used to doing them in large volumes, but this is crazy.”
It has proved especially popular with students who have moved to the city this week to begin their autumn term.
