EAT.

Small and quaint branch of this popular chain, situated on what may as well be an alleyway. Despite its small size, their array of lunch time treats are as eclectic as any other EAT location.
Several hot food options accompany a fridge full of pre-​made sandwiches, salads, wraps and baguettes, with plenty of choice for drinks and healthy snacks too.
My favourite is the falafel box, which comes with a huge green chili, lentil salad and plenty of hummus. It is a little pricey, but that’s to be expected of this chain. At least you know that what you’re paying for is good quality food.

I’ve been on a quest to find the best Christmas sandwich (well next best after my boxing day home made sandwich!) so I was really excited when we had a meeting nearby to an EAT.
Of course I went for the Christmas sandwich, although they also had festive hot rolls and hot pots which looked delicious.
I generally find EAT and similar chain sandwich shops a little over priced but I was hugely impressed with how much meat was in the sandwich. Huge chunks of turkey and plenty of slices of bacon. It also had pretty perfect proportions of stuffing and lots of really lovely cranberry sauce. I’m not a fan of green stuff in my Christmas sandwich but the small amount of spinach in the EAT one was good as it gave it a slightly different texture. Spinach always wins over lettuce anyway in a festive sandwich — who has lettuce with their Christmas dinner?!
The EAT Christmas sandwich is by far my favourite so far for the freshness, great proportions of the filings and because it wasn’t filled with loads of mayonnaise making it soggy. it’s actually quite good value for what you get.
The staff were also friendly, efficient even when it was really busy and we managed to get a table for 8 of us during a busy lunchtime.
