Pret A Manger

You're rushing through Eldon Square between shops or killing time before a meeting, and you need something quick that won't disappoint. This Pret does exactly what it says on the tin—grab a cappuccino, a prawn mayo on brown, maybe a pastry, and you're out in five minutes. It's the kind of place locals pop into without thinking twice, part of the shopping centre rhythm rather than a destination in itself. The formula's unchanged: fresh-ish sandwiches, reliable hot drinks, and enough seating if you fancy lingering with a paper.
