Pret A Manger

Healthy fast food. Quick and easy. This location was so close to the hotel. A good stop after a day of site seeing and just want to relax in the room.
I really liked the selection of hot or cold quick meals. The prepacked cranberry in coats was one of my favorites.

London can be exhausting and trying to always be creative when it comes to meals can be a challenge — Pret is a wonderful and prolific establishment throughout London. Reasonably priced yet interesting and delicious meals are available. Something for generally everyone’s tastes. this location, seating is at a premium but not inaccessible.

Je mange très souvent à Pret quand je suis à Londres, et à chaque fois je me fais la remarque que c’est dommage qu’il n’existe pas de chaîné de ce type là où j’habite en France.
Je décrirais leurs produits comme du «healthy fast food». Qu’on ait un petit budget et/​ou peu de temps pour manger, on n’a pas forcément envie de sacrifier la qualité de sa nourriture pour autant. C’est donc vraiment sympa de trouver des sandwich, salades… frais, plutôt légers, et des bonnes recettes qui changent un peu de l’ordinaire.

typical pret, tasty but generic

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.
In saying all this, this particular location is my favourite. They don’t have as much of a food selection but the seating upstairs is just awesome. Those heat up toasties everyone was getting look so good. why not so those gluten free?

The coffee was fine. The guy at the counter though… not so much. There is nothing more enjoyable that a giving money to a fella who is totally disinterested in what you are ordering and seems annoyed that you are even there. Seriously dude… maybe accounting is the job for you. Something without human interaction.
Oh yeah, when handing someone a piping hot cup of coffee, try putting the sleeves on them first.
All in all, good coffee with an an annoying employee. I doubt he will be there long so I will give four stars for the business itself. Pret A Manger is a good bet for a good cup of coffee.

Prets seem to be as common in London as Starbucks in US cities. I like their yogurt parfait (layered from bottom with fruit, yogurt, and granola) and an expresso for breakfast. They have lots of good pastries and salads and sandwiches for lunch. They have free wifi but not require customers to register to use the service.

C’est bien pour dépanner si vous souhaitez manger sur le pouce. Et puis c’est accessible en terme de prix, en comparaison avec la majorité des restos londoniens.
Les sandwichs proposés sont frais et composés de produits de qualité, ça ressemble un peu à notre Bert s.
Pour ceux qui veulent varier il ya des rolls (dont un espèce d’hybride wrap sushi roll, avec une galette recouverte d’une fuille d’algue mega bon!!!) des soupes et des salades!

If you’re trying to keep on the cheap, this is the place. Sandwiches are are a few £s and pretty decent for the price. The crayfish and avocado sandwich is my favorite.

READY TO EAT
My go to when I just need to eat and i don’t have time, or the capacity (due to hunger) to think of any place better. These corporate chain establishments are consistently adequate and clean. I like the self service style, and the coffee here will please most coffee aficionados. This location is perfect for a quick bite before a show at the historic London Palladium, which is right across the street. I saw «Billie Elliot» there which was fantastic. Sit outside just to enjoy the high energy area and people passing by at this busy corner.

Pret a Manger are VERY difficult to fault
Produce is fresh
Value is good (filter Coffee 99p)
Seating is iffy at busy times but they really try had to fit bodies in
Staff are happy to serve you they have the rare one who slips though the selection process but on the whole they are all nice All-​in-​all a great place to sit and snack

I love Pret for its lentil and bacon soup, those times when you’re hungover and crave that delicious ham and cheese croissant, the lovely flat white in a small cup, the friendly people who work there and the overall quality of the food which smacks eat in the face.

id love one of two of these in ireland!
Nice coffee, and a good selection of stuff in it! All really healthy options. i dig it!
I like the style to it!

Pret. A swish sandwicherie selling sandwiches, hot ‘n cold drinks and snacks to the sounds of jazz or similar music. Free wifi. Chances are that with the sheer number of Pret stores across the country, you’ll already have a view on whether you like them or not.
Personally I’m a not a huge fan. I think their snacks and drinks are expensive, pushing a total lunch cost comfortably beyond £5. I also wish they’d stop concentrating on offering bread-​less sandwiches to Atkins-​conscious customers and start reducing the high levels of salt, saturated fat and sugar in their foods for, well, everyone. Oh, and maybe make the nutritional information of their products more readily available while they’re at it.
But still, ever so occasionally, the mood for a Pret treat takes one. And in those times, you’ll find a Pret here, where Victoria Street meets Vauxhall Bridge Road.

While in London for a few days, my husband and I visited here a couple of times for a few reasons.
1. It’s in a great location, pretty much in the hub of all the action.
2. Really quick! when your trying to see the sights of London in a short amount of time, you want something that is grab and go, and that’s exactly what this is. Pick your sandwich or salad, pay for it, and your off!
3. It’s healthier comparing to what other options are out there. I like to think that I am somewhat of a healthy person, so the fact that Pret uses fresh ingredients is a plus!

I’m a huge fan of Pret A Manger — but this is definitely not one of their better stores. It gets very busy as it is just across the road from Victoria Station — but the service is pretty dire. One can grow old whilst waiting for a latte…

Veggie friendly!

Another great Pret, this one is in an extremely busy area, between Victoria Station and Westminster Cathedral. I’ve been here a number of times, usually to grab a quick breakfast before heading into the office nearby. The service is up to the usual Pret standards — fast, efficient and helpful. Even if the queue («line») in American is long, it is never more than a very few minutes until you’re served.
Like most of their locations, there is not much room but if you are able to grab a table, that’s a nice bonus. I’ve not been here long enough to try the Wi-​Fi.
One star off because the place is quite dark. I think that’s because they only have the front windows and they are under the overhang of the building out front.
