Fred’s, a small yet vibrant sandwich shop on Cuba Street, has quickly become one of Wellington’s most popular spots. With its eye-catching retro orange colour scheme and a simple sign that reads “sandwiches,” Fred’s stands out in the bustling Cuba/Ghuznee area. The interior blends sophistication and simplicity, featuring shiny white gloss tiles alongside vintage chairs salvaged from a London prison dining hall.

Specialising in sandwiches, Fred’s menu offers a variety of mouth-watering options like the popular Romesco and Buffalo Mozzarella or the Panko and Togarashi Crumbed Chicken, a local favourite. They also serve People’s coffee and cater to vegan diets, with two sandwiches that can be made plant-based.
