Big sandwiches. Big personality. Your opportunity to lead.

Italian sandwiches, familiar flavours and a good dose of Sooshi Mango personality, welcome to Sangaweech.

On Carlton’s Lygon Street, we’re a busy sandwich shop bringing together great food, warm hospitality and a sense of humour. Our association with Sooshi Mango has helped introduce customers to Sangaweech.

You’ll have room to shape how service runs, with training, guidance and practical support from our Group Culinary Director to help you succeed.
