crunchy marinated vegetables, lettuce,
tomato and provolone cheese; The South
American influenced Carnitas are made
with pork shoulder, tomatillo jus, pineapple
salsa fresco, salad greens and ww’acamole
(Wich is Wich’s take on guacamole).
The melt-in-your-mouth porchetta is
savoury, fatty and moist and prepared
from locally-sourced pork shoulder, with
crackling, herby mustard seed vinaigrette
and arugula, and served on a bianco roll.
There is a charcuterie board for sharing, the
Wich Board, with quality butchery meats,
pickles, artisan cheeses,`Lito’s beer mustard
and other accoutrements.
The kale and wheat berry salad is
decadent with its marinated raisins, red
pepper, carrot, beet, sunflower seeds, and a
knock-out honey-ginger dressing. Also on
offer are homemade soups, a kids’ menu
(Nutella and Banana sandwich), cane sugar

Forked River, Mill Street and Wellington)

Bananas Foster is so over-the-top good
it could become a calling card for the
sandwich shop.

grab & go, and catering services. Customers
are able to email their orders for pick up.
The shop features curb-side takeout as an
option.
