    Went downhill about 6-7 yrs ago before turning it round recently though.

    I used to eat from there now and again, but stopped enjoying their product, ooo, six or seven years ago. Not bought anything from them since.

    There’s a lesson, right there. For businesses, I mean.

    Thing is with Subway you are looking at £4.70 for a footlong! truly vile splodge of processed shite, stuffed into a bread like substance with more sugar in it than a Mars Bar

    And you have to put up with that smell

    Never been in Eat, have seen them around but can’t say I’ve ever been in one.. Odd that.

    I’m ok with Prets prices, quality of grub available etc. etc. it’s a nice place to be and makes me feel good 😆

    I quite like Eat. Has a reasonable selection for the voodoo vegenematarians amongst us.

    I get lunch from either there or Eat pretty much every day. Pret coffee is better than most places too.

    Could this be why I am skint?

    DezB – too bloody right! With that smell that they pump out of the front door, I’m amazed anyone makes it into the place without barfing. I’ve smelt more appealing landfill sites

    The last three wraps I have had came in paper and went all the way up to the ends.

    I don’t buy actual sandwiches, they are always full of mayonnaise, but I love wraps with interesting things in. And when they are hot – bloody fabulous. You don’t even have to wait for them to be made either.

    500 times better than subway. The bread I used to like but it slowly dawned on me how crappy and sugary it was, and the fillings are losing their appeal. The only thing for my tongue to look forward to at all is jalapenos and chili sauce.

    A friend had the urge to sample one of these yesterday…

    I kid you not, the thing looked like a very slim suppurated penis. I have no idea why anyone would create something like that let alone eat it…

    Anywhere is OK as long as it sells diet coke.

    Nah. It tastes nice with the Burger & large chips.

    As mentioned above why do subways stink so ghastly? It’s surely just baked bread and bakery’s normally smell lovely. I went into a subway with a friend while he scoffed a meatball footlong that smell was on my coat for days. We need one of those pull along van things like in that London that sells hog roast and beef and potatoes.

    Seriously, you’ve never eaten in a Pret before?
    I don’t think that I’ve ever seen a Pret a Manger before, never mind eaten in one..

    They’re only in major cities, and then only one shop, like in Bath and Bristol. I often eat in Pret when up in That London, there’s inevitably one nearby wherever you are in the city, the food is no more ‘junk’ food than anything else, unless all you eat is salad. It’s only junk if you eat lots of it exclusively, and even then, a Rocket and Crayfish baguette is hardly the same as, say, a dodgy greaseburger and a can of coke analogue. The only thing that upsets me when I go there is that they no longer seem to do Vanilla Danish pastries. BASTARDS! I love those. 🙁
    Their coffee is vastly superior to Starbucks, too.

    I bought one to test this theory out despite having good free coffee in this office, but my mouth is still stinging from the frankly delicious jalapeno wrap so I’ll have to let you know later 🙂

    Not quite. I was in the Horsham one the other day … and that’s just a town 🙂

    Verdict – coffee is ok, somewhat nicer than Starbucks I’d say but it’s still a fairly plain high streety thing. It’s certainly cheaper than bucks though.
