As this place in near to my work, we popped in to quickly check it out. We were not dissapointed as the selection is wide and is to please any taste and mood: cold and hot salads, freshly prepared curries with rice or noodles. And lets not forget the little desserts and nuts ;o)
The red curry with coconut rice was lovely and freshly prepared. Curry was creamy, coconutty and a little hot, however the rice is served with a desiccated coconut sprinkled over it and it didn't really flavour the rice.
A main dish in a box from the ready counter, Singapore Noodles, were very tasty though the prawn crackers lost their crispiness and crunch.
All in all, a good experince for a great price. It's fast, it's simple and real tasty.As this place in near to my work, we popped in to quickly check it out.

With Pret A Manger, you always know what youâ¬"re going to get â¬ 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 â¬ 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. Donâ¬"t even think about stopping by here from 11.30 to 14.30, the city types will crush you under their wheels, and typically theyâ¬"ve come from the office to grab a sarnie and get back to eat it, so thereâ¬"s not a lot of leeway for people just wanting to look around, scope the area out.

Such a useful location - just a short walk north (at least, I think I am going North!) of Moorgate tube. My real favourite thing, despite the fact that Pret's food is so good, is to have a coffee from Pret and a sushi from the almost next door Itsu. (Yes, Pret do sushi. It's just not quite as good or varied).

The staff always seem to be enjoying their jobs at Pret - they are the friendliest you will find!

I really like the Mocca from Prets - I have visited A LOT of Pret outlets (almost every outlet in London!) and sadly I can state with some confidence that what makes a cup of nectar is the individual staff member, rather than the individual store. Pret is always worth a visit, though!Such a useful location - just a short walk north (at least, I think I am going North!) of Moorgate tube.

Pret definitely have the best, most reliable sandwiches of any of the coffee shops. Their soup is also excellent, so you can reliably get a lovely lunch suitable to any time of the year. I always like Pret food - in fact they are my overall favourite coffee shop, based on good (not outstanding, but good) coffee combined with excellent food. (I think Caffe Nero and Abokado do better coffee, but Pret has a far better range of food). And where on earth do Pret get their staff? As a connoisseur of coffee shops, I remain convinced that Pret staff are far nicer, and more friendly, than any other coffee shop.Pret definitely have the best, most reliable sandwiches of any of the coffee shops.
