Mondo To Go
When: Opened 10th April 2026
Where: Arch 5, Deptford Market Yards, SE8 4BX
Book: www.mondosando.com
First a little sandwich shop run by two friends, Jack and Viggo, now referred to as “the best sandwich shop in Britain”, they are finally opening a second spot in Deptford and it’s an absolute must-try. A good lunch or dinner spot, Mondo is a versatile, lively destination, made to be a useful takeaway spot for you to grab something in between work or on your way home for dinner.
This new spot includes some of Mondo’s specialities, as well as new sandwiches that might be worth a try. The Everything Cutlet is a crowd pleaser, which includes an everything Chicken Cutlet, Red Leicester, and Pickle Salad toasted on a thin loaf. Equally lovely is their Chicken Caesar, with Confit Chickpeas, Mixed Leaves, Crouton Herbs, Pickled Onion, and Yoghurt Caesar Dressing.
If subs are more your thing, then the Turkey Combo could be a great choice, with its succulent House-sliced Turkey, Provolone, Tomato, Mixed Leaves, Onions, and the special Mondo “Jazz” spread. For sides, we’d suggest their Pickle Pot or Latkas — two very different side dishes that can offer either a lighter or more pungent taste, depending on the customer.
It’s a lovely independent sandwich spot that we really think is worth a try!
