Pret A Manger

A friend and I called into this pret on Sunday 25th September 2022, on our way to a Bach Vespers service at St Mary at Hill church, which started at 6.30pm. Our receipts, for a coffee and croissant, were timed at 5.15pm. Nothing was said about their closing time when we ordered and paid. Our croissants were quickly consumed, and the coffees were half finished when we were told we'd have to leave. We were shocked by this, and I asked for time to finish the still hot coffee. We were given 5 minutes, but almost immeduately, a more senior person told us our time was up and we should leave, in a very brusque manner. We felt our treatment was appalling. We're both in our late 70s. I've since tried to establish pret's closing time at this branch. This is variously stated as not open on Sundays, 5.15pm and 6.00pm. We artived in plenty of time for the service, so I'm guessing the 6pm time applied. Some advance warning could have been given to us if their closing time was approaching.

Place is clean,friendly staff behind the counter,nice sandwiches amongst other snacks they sell,reasonably priced, couldn't grumble!

Oh nooo! When they stop doing this chocolate cake? I really wanted to have one, to remind the taste from years of uni. Looked everywhere in the shop. This young gentleman( I think he had an Italian accent? ¿ helped to look for it good 5 minutes suggesting other products, he commented he has been working for long time and never seen it... When did they really stopped selling it? He was really apologetic and very kind, had my order for free. Very welcoming and professional approach. Either he is a great asset for the cafe or if it is the training coming from the company very rare and positive. It was a pleasent service.

Reasonable Pret on Philpot Lane and Eastcheap Street. Standard food. Service was good and place clean.

Popped in for a coffee as we were early for our visit to the Sky Garden. Usually Pret quality and price. Toilets were in need of a maintenance.
