After a series of residencies, Mondo Sando is striking out on its own
Cult sandwich slingers Mondo Sando are giving their ever-changing menu of crowd-pleasers a permanent home this November, as they’ll be opening their very own shop in Camberwell – right next door to TOAD Bakery. What started as a lockdown side hustle – inspired by the food in Miyazaki films, Redwall novels and the Beano, as well as from delis, diners and drinking dens across the world – has grown into a fave of sandwich-loving Londoners, and Mondo’s held a series of popular residencies since launching (most recently at the Grove House Tavern, which will continue alongside the new venture).
Now it’s time for the team to move up to the next level, so they’ve set their sights on opening Cafe Mondo, a fully-licenced sandwich shop on Peckham Road, which’ll be opening its doors this November after the team smashed their Kickstarter campaign. As well as sandwiches, including the cult Mondo Frango, Pork & Greens and Fish Finger Sandwiches, they’ll be slinging chicken schnitzels, aubergine fritti and deep fried treacle tarts. They’ll be served with slushies, beer and shot combos, and teeny weeny MSG martinis, and the new gaff will also have a sunny front porch (plus a garden ready for next summer) to eat/drink on.
We’ve also been told to expect karaoke, yacht rock, a ‘museum of stones’, fantasy roleplaying games and pagan rituals (can’t get that in Pret, can you?).
