Pret A Manger

Stopped off while on my way to a Social Media event. Looked interesting and was located near to where I was going. Very clean, except toilets let it down, Seating facilities were few, Food was good, Shock off my experience was how much I had to pay extra for the pleasure of freezing my bits off and the company of a pigeon. (He/​She was stunning-​not the usual type of pigeon. White/​small browns patches). I know you pay City prices and everything is almost 2 – 3 times more but the extra tax to using their seating area outside but you are charges as though you are at the bar. (That’s not why I sat outside).Would use again, if not to sit upstairs for a meeting then it would be a take away. It’s a great grab & go.

I had a baguette filled with Italian prosciutto, parmesan, tomatoes and basil. I think I detected a swipe of mayonnaise in there as well, which I usually hate, but I didn’t notice it except for one bite. The baguettes taste freshly baked, which is always good, and the fillings complemented each other nicely. When I first moved to the UK, I was really creeped out by Pret since they sold all their sandwiches prepackaged in little cardboard containers, but I suppose if they are made daily, they’re not so bad. This branch has a little bit of seating upstairs in case you actually want to eat sitting down instead of on the run.
