Pret a Manger

UK based sandwich shop and coffee. It tastes good and always a best option for brunch.

I have stopped going to Pret, especially since the customers that died and now employees died as well.

Workers seem happy but more and more the reason for this is emerging that they are forced to be happy or lose their job

The food is okay but too expensive and weird

I prefer a simple sandwich and go to my local independent café now

I cannot recommend Pret at all.

Staff are overstretched and terrible treatment behind the scenes.

Going to different Prets and it's mostly the same, although the staff seem to smile a lot, they look stressed. I received many times the wrong coffee and started to observe the service to find that it is mostly understaffed.

I have started to visit independent cafes again, especially after the allergen issues.

Too loud and hectic.

Love everything from the decor to the way that the staff make you feel like a real person! They even take 50p off for reusing your own cups. Eco friendly! Fabulous

Prrat had the worst customer service out out all coffee shops. I went there to have cip of chai latte. The coffee they made was horrible. They' sell chai latte without cinnamon. It is incredible that they did not haberim cinnamon in the shop. I had drunk a cup of milk instead of chai latte. I sat down upstairs. It was freezing! They put air conditioniing on so high. The temperature outside was not that hot. i asked one of the staff to turn it off or turn it down.They said they can't I was shivering while I was sitting there.. I will never ever go there again.

Pret a manger is a good sandwich shop although it is a little pricey. That said, every time I go I'm spoilt for choice so it definitely gets the products right.

Some of the smaller stores can have a limited amount of products, but the larger stores are absolutely brilliant.

Definitely recommend them if you've never been.

Pret is my lazy lunch choice. They are not exactly cheap but as the sandwiches and salads are made on site they are always fresh, the bread isn't stale and any lettuce has not had the chance to go soggy.

In the summer I like to get the Italian Chicken salad which contains a mix of soft chicken, nuts salad and olives and peppers (which I always remove) or the breadless crayfish and avocado. But I really look forward their Christmas sandwich. Complete this year with turkey, cranberry, stuffing, spinach and crispy onions...perfect.

Their three layered chocolate mousse is also heaven in a pot.

Good for wraps too but I'm not so keen on the soups anymore, not flavoursome enough.

A good place to go for lunch once a week.

Every morning I head to Pret to pick up my breakfast. Normally go for a coffee, porridge (with honey) and some fruit. It works out quite expensive going five times a week but the convenience is great. A big plus is that they seem way more efficient when compared to Starbucks in serving coffee! There is only one person operating the machine but they churn it out super quick.

Negative - the fruit sucks a little.

Coffee excellent, sandwiches good (lack on vegetarian options on occasions), soup used to be brilliant and probably still is good, but Hayloft Foods Soups tops theirs every time. Their Saag Aloo & Rice Soup makes Pret's look and taste like dishwater - not quite, but if you get the chance to try Hayloft Foods soup you will not be disappointed.
