I would recommend this Pret for location — if you’re on a flight out, then I’d suggest stopping here for a cheaper and better option than buying on the plane. It’s right next to the pub, so you can leave friends there while you make the sensible option. Staff are pretty efficient and friendly — I’ve been here a couple of times and it seems pretty much the same as the other pret’s. The Tuna salad and the hot salt beef sandwich I had here… Well pretty much exactly as I’ve had at other locations: —- What else can I say — this is a Pret! If you’ve been to one, then putting layout aside, well you’ve been to them all. Quality, service, food options, they’re all standard across the board. I’ve never been keen on the coffee, but every now and then I get a hankering for a tuna nicoise and choc bar that needs to be satiated. I’ve also started loving some of their sandwiches(pastrami sandwiches and the cheese and ham baguettes) and I do rather like their new small sandwich options. To be honest I haven’t had a bad option here, although am wary of the price as a few items can really add up. I tend to favour to ‘take away’ as it’s a cheaper option, however sometimes the weather disagrees with me. It is however not that expensive — but it’s also not the budget option — although then where is these days? Quality of ingredients is good, what you get is fresh and the quality of the bread is good. As I mention I particularly like the tuna nicoise — you have an optional dressing, and it comes with crisp leaves, capers, salad and egg. Although I’d recommend getting some black pepper to kick it off! Whilst I tend to try and avoid chain’s, you know what you’re going to get here, a wholesome quick meal fix. Great if you’re on the go and don’t want to have to mount a search party against hunger.

I really like this chain. Especially if you are looking for a tasty and relatively healthy lunch. They normally have a big selection of soups, wraps, salads and sandwiches to choose from. This café is based at Gatwick airport and unfortunately after 5 pm there wasn’t much to choose from. Maybe next time it will be better…

Die letzte Pflichtstation vor dem Boarding, um mich mit einem köstlichen Sandwich und dem Lemon-Cheese-Cake für den Flug zu rüsten! Bisher waren alle Lebensmittel von sehr guter Qualität und besonderem Geschmack. Gans besonders der Lemon-Cheese-Cake hat sich in das Herz meiner Geschmacksknospen gespielt und wenn möglich, lasse ich mir von London-Reisenden einen mitbringen. Pret-A-Manger gibt es gottseidank fast überall in London und ist daher immer eine Adresse für den Hunger unterwegs. Das Preis-Leisutngsverhältnis stimmt, genauso wie die Freundlichkeit und Sauberkeit! Erinnert an die Campus-Suiten in Deutschland.

Living in Swansea I hadn’t tried a Pret A Manger until flying from Gatwick recently but will definitely be keeping an eye out for ones whenever I’m travelling around now. We had a super fruit pot, sandwiches and delicious chocolate brownie for lunch and found them all of the food very tasty and the sandwiches generously filled and very fresh, I had a falafel and humous one which was delicious and filling. I understand they prepare everything in store, or very local, without any artificial additives, preservatives etc and sell without a sell by date on their sandwiches and salads giving any leftovers to charity. Prices seemed very reasonable and as dmj1962 says a great place to stock up with food for budget flights rather than paying over the odds on board for a much poorer quality sandwich. We didn’t try their coffee but will have to next time.

The refurbishment and extension of the passenger lounge at Gatwick’s South terminal has made room for some new eateries, including a Pret a Manger. This is a huge step forward in terms of the availability of decent coffee and — even more so — decent, fresh and interesting sandwiches. Service is swift and nicely done, although there did seem to be a bit of a queue for those waiting for coffee. There’s lots of seating, it’s all on the level, and the toilets are around the corner(down a long corridor, however). Prices are the same as in most High Street branches, which actually makes them rather competitive in an airport. It’s an excellent place to load up with your in-flight food before getting on a budget airline flight, but you can also eat in, as well.(The two-tier pricing system for eat-in/take away also applies here, with eat-in food costing more).
