Mondo Sandwiches has been in situ at the Grove House Tavern in Peckham for a while now. Thanks to a successful crowdfunding campaign, the team will open its first permanent cafe on November 22, CODE can reveal, with sandwiches on in the day and drinks, snacks and small plates come evening. Founders Jack Macrae and Viggo Blegvad are to open Cafe Mondo at a site on Peckham Road, with 30 covers inside, a front garden, and a backyard terrace (the latter coming in 2025). On the way, more of their famous subs, boozy slushies, craft beers and ‘teeny weeny MSG martinis’. Very on trend. The move comes after lots of excellent pub residencies — a standalone fixture is long overdue.

What happened in hospitality last week? An update from the CODE bulletin newsletter: 1. Rowley Leigh is returning to the pass this autumn. The man behind acclaimed restaurants Kensington Place and Le Café Anglais has devised a new menu at City institution The Don. 2. Mitch Tonks doesn’t cook in London all that often. He’s one of three chefs taking part in a new series at the Donovan Bar at Brown’s Hotel, running the food menu with snacks and small plates. Tom Kitchin is also on the way, but on now is the great chef Andrew Wong. 3. The group behind Peckham favourite Artusi (also has Marcella in Deptford) is heading to Soho. 4. There are still tickets available to the Bloodshot Acid House Club event at Darby’s. Lunch kicks off at 4pm, with the likes of Tom Brown, Brad Carter and Freddie Jansenn joining Robin Gill. DJs — including Simone Marie of Primal Scream fame — are on until midnight. Look out for a CODE members’ deal this week.

We have had an update on Simpson’s from Jeremy King, who emailed to acknowledge inevitable setbacks but has now revealed he is ‘very close’ to getting the keys, after which a May 2025 opening is planned. King explained delays have allowed him and his team to refine the design of the restaurant, as well as working on the menu and repairing the famous trolleys. There is good news too in the form of the licence: what will be the theatre bar is likely to be open until 3am, and it will also be home to chess, much as the venue was in days gone by. We can't wait. Sign up to our free newsletter to get the latest industry news & insight: https://lnkd.in/epDcN5U9 #hospitality #restaurant #London #Strand #bar #chess
