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.

McDonalds – Veggie Dippers Happy Meal

This cost £2.59.

It has 2 veggie dippers, a small fried (you can choose a fruit or carrot bag instead), an orange juice (other drinks are available), a sealed pot of ketchup (barbeque, sweet and sour and curry were the other sauce options) and as the “toy” it had a small plastic Little Miss Chatterbox mug (other Mr Men and Little Miss options are randomly included).

The cardboard box can be adapted into a tray, which was useful.  If you aren’t too hungry this is probably suitable as a light meal for an adult.

The cost is reasonable for what you get.

Veggie Pret – Vegan Chuna Mayo

This cost £2.99.

It has chickpeas in a seasoned sauce with cucumber slices, chopped red onion and its of rocket leaves in a white baguette.

I was pleasantly surprised at the taste and texture of the “Chuna”, but, for me, there was far too much rocket for the size of sandwich

Veggie Pret – Tropical Green Smoothie Bowl

This costs £3.75. It includes diced mango, blueberries and pomegranate seeds on a puree of avocado mixed with mango, coconut and banana.

The smoothie bowls are quite liquidy which gives them an odd consistency as if they have poured a smoothie into a bowl and plonked fruit on top.

Veggie Pret – Mexican Inspired Salad Bowl

This costs £4.50. It includes Cos lettuce, sweet potato chunks, half a lime, a black bean sauce, avocado, sweetcorn, vegetarian feta cheese, pickled red onion and coriander.

The different ingredients are reasonably separate meaning if you don’t like one of them you can still eat most of it. The mushed up bean puree is just odd and then half a lime takes up space in the bowl.

Veggie Pret – Sweet Potato Falafal Mezze Salad Bowl

This costs £4.50.  It has sweet potato falafel, pickled red cabbage, cucumbers, red peppers, pomegranate and pumpkin seeds, mixed leaves, humous, a large wedge of lemon and a small pot of vinaigrette.

The lemon wedge took up a lot of space in the bowl, and the pickled cabbage was overflowing between the lid and the container.

It tasted ok but wasn’t anything special.

Subway – Meatless meetball marina (untoasted with toppings on wheat bread)

I tried my second one of these. This time I tried it untoasted with onion, sweetcorn and cucumber with extra ketchup on wheat bread.

Despite the marinara topping supposedly being kept warm over a hot Bain-Marie water bath, it was barely warm.

The extra ketchup helped country the lack of marinara sauce and the vegetables made it taste healthier.

This smaller version costs £2.40, and you can get bread for an extra 60p.

It smells smoky like barbecue sauce and has lots of sweetcorn kernels in it which are the main thing you can taste.
