Pret A Manger

Very handy take away place near my hotel.
Nice place. Nice overall atmosphere. My spicy vegetarian with chipotle chicken and avocado was the biz. It’s like sex in a sandwich. And I plan to try them all. Plus, for the price, you really can’t go wrong.
Their sandwiches also make a great cold dinner after an entire day touristing (is that even a word?) around London.
Also good: Tuna/​Cucumber and Brie/​Tomato!
The bread used was consistently fresh and tasty. But if I had to pick one, I would probably have the biggest problem in my life.

Espaçoso e iluminado, lota fácil na hora do almoço. Mesmo num dia bem frio, tem gente que usa as mesas de fora.
Se não tiver lugar mesmo assim, não é problema porque permitem levar embora em sacolas.
Os croissants são maravilhosos, especialmente os salgados. Virei fã na versão quente de queijo e tomate.
As sopas tb são opções deliciosas e me apaixonei pela de presunto (ham) deste Natal. Aparentemente todos os londrinos da região tb porque é a primeira a acabar. Comentei isso com o gerente da loja, que imediatamente telefonou na loja mais próxima para ver se podiam reservar, mas tb tinha acabado.
Muita consideração! Me conquistou.

I only came into this Pret because I hadn’t realised there was a Costa around the corner (addicted to the Black Forest Hot Chocolate, don’t judge) but I’m glad I did.
We wanted their winter spice drink on the Christmas menu but had no idea what it was, and the guy behind the till went off to find out and came back out with what I assume was the manager, who explained it to us. Excellent customer service.
The drink itself was full to the brim and they’d even thrown in some blueberries at the bottom (I had three, Matt R had two… I think we know who the favourite is) and it was delicious. Really hot, which was surprising since you usually get something lukewarm at chains.
They even didn’t mind us eating food from outside (Ben’s Cookies, YUM) and sitting around for ages after we’d finished. Perfect.

I really like Pret, I do, but for a place that obviously tries to cater to diets like gluten and dairy free they should try a bit harder to provide a few more options. A fee months ago they brought out gluten free wraps. I saw them once and only one flavor. Being allergic to onion as well there isn’t a lot I can eat out of their salad selection either so I usually end up getting a free range egg and spinach pot. those things are lifesavers. They have recently bought out almond milk drinks — date and cacao and cashew and banana. I was very excited. and then I tasted them. They do not taste good. … ugh they’re so close but not quite there, so frustrating. .Let me help Pret! Let me help you get this thing right! Start with labelling items that are gluten free, dairy free etc like you label the vegetarian options. With no ingredients list on the packaging we have no way if knowing the food is safe. I really love Pret and they have so much potential.. just not quite yet.

Clean. Well stocked. Ample seating and nice and bright. Pret is always high on my radar if I just need a quick bite. Love the variety for the few times I go on a health-​kick & don’t want anything with bread for lunch.

Tasty sandwiches, are all natural, and at decent prices. I realize this is as mainstream as Starbucks in the US… but still, worth reviewing. It’s a good place to grab a quick sandwich on my lunch break, or my morning coffee.

Love Pret and love Pret food.
This shop is big and have nice seating area outside. I have been in this shop so many times, and will be back again and again.
For all complaining about prices, if you can’t afford go and eat in other place. In Pret you are paying for quality and fresh food.
All staff in this branch is friendly and helpful. Thank you Pret for fantastic people and delicious food!!!

The usual Pret food, drinks and dessert options, in King St, very close to Hammersmith tube and bus station. It is quite a rare one this one as it is very spacious — it only gets busy at lunchtime during the weekdays (but nothing like some other smaller ones in the City) — and it has quite a big outside seating space too!
It is on a busy street where it is hard to get some tasty and healthy lunch, so this one is always a winner with me.

Pret a Manger (or endearingly known as just «Pret») is a pretty cheap place to satisfy your hunger but only temporarily. What happens when you walk in during lunch hour is summarized by the following:
1) You notice long queues (probably about a handful) emanating from the cashier counter. Luckily for you, the lines go pretty quickly.
2) One wall is a large, open refrigerator of cold to-​go items like sandwiches, wraps, salads, and bottled juice and water. Food items are labeled with a takeaway (i.e., to-​go) price and a sit-​down price, the latter of which is slightly more expensive.
3) Grab the items you want, then pick your favorite queue to wait in.
4) Tell the cashier you want to order your food for takeaway, and ask for a bag if you really want one.
5) Proceed to the door and feel good about yourself that you’re saving a few pence by stuffing your face with healthy, freshly-​made food on the go.
The downside to Pret is that you’ll be hungry in a couple of hours since the food isn’t designed to keep you filled up for longer. And there aren’t really any hot food choices.
The verdict: If you’re looking for convenience, health, and low cost, Pret is your place.

Very good take-​away store in this area. You could also eat in if you like, just pay 15% more. I would like to recommend the food here as the quality was great and you have lots of choices. The price was also good value. Two things quite good were the service speed was excellent and their coffee was roasted with two weeks time.

this branch of Pret has been in Hammersmith at least 15 years, I think it was one of the first.
It’s quite bit and spacious inside, with a wide range of sandwiches, pretty busy throughout the day, it gets manic at lunchtimes.
The food is pretty good — much what you’d expect from any of the branches, but it is also quite fatty — not too much here for anyone calorie counting!

Pret is alright, isn’t it? I hate their casual tone with their copy — especially the ‘VAT nightmare’ on the tills. It makes me want to puke up their healthy food in their faces.
However, the food is quite good. It is also expensive, and there are cheaper sandwich shops very near by, but this place has the benefit of being large, with a good range and seats outside in the occassional London sunshine.
I’m giving it four stars because they accidentally paid me to have 2 sandwiches (giving me change for £20 rather than the £10 I gave) but I only realised after I’d left Hammersmith, so they deserve a star for paying me to have lunch.

Not easy to find a café/​restaurant with a terrace in central Hammersmith, so this is a good place to remember for sunny days. The terrace is a decent size, on a little square 2 steps away from the tube station. A bit busy with traffic on King Street — but you can’t have everything.
Usual sandwiches, salads and snacks from this quality fast food chain.
