This is the first Veggie Pret branch in this area of central London. The shop was formerly an EAT shop, and the public space has shrunk massively since it has been rebranded as Veggie Pret. It feels tiny and cramped. If there are more than about five customers in the shop, it can feel very crowded. There is not much space for eating in either.
It is nice to have more shops that sell an increased selection of vegetarian food.

This is a vegan pasta dish with a sauce made from tomato, peppers and chilli with a rocket salad on top.
The salad gets a bit soggy from the sauce, but overall the dish tastes reasonable.

This cold sandwich has vegan sausage, onion chutney, fried onions, mustard, cabbage and vegan mayonnaise. The cold sausage and onions taste a bit strange in an sandwich.

This tasted a bit burnt and was quite soggy. It had sliced mushrooms, vegan Gouda, onions and vegan mayonnaise. It had been toasted by staff at Eat and the size of the bead (which wasn’t cut in half, the sogginess dripping out if it and the burnt parts made it a bit difficult to eat.
The normal price is £3.99.

This tasted a bit odd with a strange combination of flavours. It is white bread with vegan mayonnaise, vegan stuffing (including seeds, sprouts, and sage), red cabbage and dried fried onion. The average price is £3, but this is one of the meal deal options.

This comes in a multi-seeded Wheat Bread with a marinara tomato sauce base topped with grated cheese, peppers, onion, sweetcorn, olives and jalapeños. The normal price for the 6-inch version is £2.99.
It was very gooey with the sauce but was filing.

The toasted option from Pret contains a mixture of 3 cheeses and spring onion inside slices of seeded bread. It is toasted fresh so it can be very hot when you at the melted cheese. It was also a bit too gooey for me and the bread was stodgy.

This was a nice 11-inch vegetarian pizza with a thin crust. It had tomato sauce mixed with basil, mozzarella cheese, shallots, mushrooms and peppers. It was sliced into six, but they were quite uneven. It is quite cramped in the shop, and the holes on the side of the takeaway box meant that it started to lose the heat quote quickly. The normal price is £6.7/10
This was a nice and filling pasta dish. It has rigatoni pasta tubes with a thick spicy tomato sauce including chunks of Pure’s meat substitute called “It’s not chicken” and a small tub of vegan cheese.
The normal price is £5.95.

Vegetarian option with noodles, peppers, onions and optional coriander spicy sauce, hoisin sauce and sesame seeds. It can be quite spicy but is and could do with more vegetables but it is still tasty and reasonable value at £5.
