Disney +

This is a new streaming/downloading subscription service with a massive (although not complete) back catalogue of film from Disney, Marvel, Pixar, National Geographic, 20th Century Studios and Searchlight, in addition to new and exclusive films and TV shows unique to Disney +.

Subscription costs £59.99 per year or £5.99 per month. At the time I signed up, they were offering a free 7-day trial.

You can download as well as stream, and the quality is good. Many of the titles include extras similar to those found on DVDs. The main problem I found was that although I could download the app to my Amazon Fire Tablet, I can only stream using a web browser on my laptop.

Subway – Toasted Cheese Bite

Please note that I visited this place and drafted this review before the UK Government’s Coronavirus announcement on 16 March 2020 about social distancing and not going on unnecessary trips.

This costs £1.99. It is less than half the size of a 6-inch sub and the bread us a lot thinner.

The sign suggests you can have 2 toppings in addition to the 2 types of cheese, but in the branch I went to, the server said it had to look like the photo with one type of cheese, tomato and spinach.

The whole thing including the extra toppings was then toasted.

Coco Di Mama – Sweet Pomodoro

Please note that I visited this place and drafted this review before the UK Government’s Coronavirus announcement on 16 March 2020 about social distancing and not going on unnecessary trips.

This cost £4.50.

It is a basic tomato sauce.  You can request no cheese to make it vegan as the pasta is advertised as vegan, and you can add your own chilli flakes and oil if you want it spicier.  The shape of pasta varies each week, and they just seem to have posts of plan pasts that they pour the sauce on – which means the pasta at the bottom doesn’t have much sauce on it.  The prices are a bit high for the size of the pot.

Veggie Pret – Vegan Eggless Mayo and Cress.

Please note that I visited this place and drafted this review before the UK Government’s Coronavirus announcement on 16 March 2020 about social distancing and not visiting restaurants.

This cost £2.99.

It has chopped tofu in a fake mayonnaise which tasted very buttery/greasy and a lot of dress in a white baguette.

It smelt a tiny bit of egg, but that was possibly the dress and greasy mayo together, and there was far too much dress for the size.

Please note that I visited this place and drafted this review before the UK Government’s Coronavirus announcement on 16 March 2020 about social distancing and not going on unnecessary trips.

This cost £5.99.

The sauce was very spicy and has a slight barbeque taste. The vegan meatballs tasted a bit like mixed Quorn. It had a lot of peas with some edamame beans, chopped onion, carrot and rice.

Please note that I visited this place and drafted this review before the UK Government’s Coronavirus announcement on 16 March 2020 about social distancing and not going on unnecessary trips.

This cost £4.70.

It has chewy halloumi cheese, sauteed mushrooms, hummus and sundried tomatoes.

It tastes very nice but the warm humous is a bit gloopy and it is a bit expensive for what it is.
