Subway has announced it will be expanding a new product to hundreds of stores across the UK and Ireland after a trial earlier this year.

SubMelts, which are pressed and toasted Subs filled with melted cheese, were initially in only 40 stores but will now be in almost 500 from today.

Four flavours will be available for SubMelts including The Big Cheese-Steak, The Supremo, Pizziola B.M.T. ® and V.I.Brie.

Subway described the Big Cheese Steak as a "play on the Philadelphia classic, packed with philly beefsteak, mozzarella, American-style cheese, caramelised red onions, peppers, and topped with Subway’s famous Chipotle Southwest sauce".

Finally the V.I.Brie contains creamy Brie, American-style cheese, maple smoked streaky bacon, caramelised red onions, and sweet onion sauce.
