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 October, 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. As well as beer and sandwiches, the new site promises to provide wine, cocktails, slushies, pickles (all at affordable prices) and a sunny front porch 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?).
The Mondo Sando team has earmarked October for the opening of your new go-to sandwich/RPG spot, but, in the meantime, they’re asking for some help in getting up and running. If you wanna lend a hand in kitting the shop out with decor, kitchen bits, loos etc., you can donate here – and there are loads of gifts you can get in return.
