Not bad, but ...
With Pret A Manger, you always know what you’re going to get – same types of sandwiches, same types of drinks, same selection, same everything. The staff work to a specific plan when creating everything, to ensure everyone gets the same experience, and that adds a nice comforting factor when visiting – you are all ensured of getting more or less the same food, the same drink, whichever one you visit.
Having said that, there is one caveat about this particular Pret that you need to be aware of. It is right in the heart of the business district and is very over-subscribed around lunchtimes. Don’t even think about stopping by here from 11.30 to 14.30, the city types will crush you under their wheels, and typically they’ve come from the office to grab a sarnie and get back to eat it, so there’s not a lot of leeway for people just wanting to look around, scope the area out.
