Sweets and the City – Mango & Passion Fruit Duals

These vegan sweets come in a resealable bag. The one I had contained 27 sweets. I got it in Holland & Barrett where the normal price is ÂŁ2.49, but they had a special offer of 3 for the price of 2.

They are soft gummy sweets and the passion fruit taste was slightly stronger than the mango.

Deliciously Ella – Double Chocolate Caramel Cups

You get 2 sweets in the pack. It is advertised as vegan, and the cup is made of oats and cacao, with caramel and cacao ganache inside, topped with thick dark chocolate.

The outside was very crumbly, there wasn’t much ganache, and the top was quite hard. I thought it tastes a bit like dates, but they are not mentioned in the ingredients.

I got it in Holland & Barrett where the normal price is ÂŁ1.69, but they had a special offer of 33% off, making it ÂŁ1.33.

Veggie Pret – Italian Veggie Baggette

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 contains a sauce mixed with vegetarian mozzarella, tomato, peppers, olives and lentils, topped with vegetarian hard cheese in a stone-baked baguette.  The baguette itself had an odd texture, it was tough on the outside and chewy and doughy in the middle.  The filling was quite soggy, and for me, there were too many olives.

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 ÂŁ1.99. 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.

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 ÂŁ2.99.

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 ÂŁ5.99.

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.

Crussh – Falafel & Houmous Wrap

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 ÂŁ3.20.

It had falafel balls, houmous, mixed leaves and shredded carrot in a seeded wrap.

It was a bit bland and I would prefer if other fillings were added like cucumber, tomato or onion.

The smoothie is incredibly thick and has an odd consistency. It is a mix of ground nuts, banana puree, cocoa and coconut cream. It also has almond butter, raspberries, blueberries and mixed nuts on top with sliced banana hidden at the bottom of the bowl.

Veggie Pret – Sashimi Style Watermelon Poke Bowl

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 ÂŁ5.50.

The bowl includes sliced avocado, watermelon chunks, pickled cabbage, black rice, shredded radish, edamame beans, coriander, a quarter of lime and sesame seeds.

The watermelon went well with the rest of it, but I think it would be nicer if there was more melon and less avocado.
