Today Deeney's have locations in Leyton, Walthamstow, Thailand and Japan. They’ve stayed true to our roots and still maintain our Saturday market stall on Broadway Market.

MONDO SANDO
Mondo Sando began with Jack and Viggo, two best pals who started slinging subs to those in the know in SE5 over the pandemic. By April 2021 they were based out of Camberwell’s Grove House Tavern, and now they’re opening their own cafe. The food is always changing but the goal remains the same - stacked sandos made with eclectic ingredients, bold flavours and a big hit of creativity.

PICNIC DELI
Picnic Deli was born in early 2023, in Margate’s up & coming Cliftonville neighbourhood. Owners Rose & Magnus handpick the selection of cheeses & provisions, wines and beers, while the compact kitchen knocks out freshly-baked bread and pastry goods every day. It’s the sandwiches, however, that are really getting people talking. We’ve lost count of the number of people who've said we've fed them the best sandwich of their life.

Nestled next door to our restaurant Rogues, our charming little conservatory, home to our wood fire sandwich shop has taken hold of Hackney Road. Alongside our Head Chef Alex we have crafted the perfect pairing by combining our signature chewy, charred, wood-fired rolls with the finest seasonal British and European produce, artisan charcuterie, and wood-fire roasted joints. We bake all of our bread in-house, every day, using our wood fire oven. Made with regeneratively farmed British and French flour from Wildfarmed and a certified MSC mix of British Wood, our bread boasts a chewy, airy texture with a delicate, crisp, charred crust.
