What people say
Newspaper reviews of the Pret A Manger sandwich shop located on Strand in London have been mixed in recent years. A review by The Telegraph from August 2019 praised the affordable prices, healthy food options, and efficient service. However, a review by The Guardian from December 2018 criticized Pret for its lack of vegan options and its use of single-use plastics.
A more recent review by The Evening Standard from September 2020 noted the changes that Pret has made in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, such as installing screens and implementing contactless payments, but also mentioned that some menu items were temporarily unavailable. In contrast, a review by Metro from October 2020 criticized the quality of the food and stated that it was not worth the price.
Online customer comments about this particular location are varied as well. Some customers have praised the friendly staff and food quality while others have complained about long wait times and outdated decor. One customer commented on Tripadvisor in October 2020 saying "I always visit this place when I'm in London. Love their coffee and sandwiches" while another customer on Google Reviews in November 2020 said "The whole shop just looks tired and uninviting".
Overall, reviews for this Pret A Manger location seem to be mixed with both positive and negative feedback coming from customers as well as professional critics.
