PRET A MANGER

Pret A Manger in Lewisham is your classic grab-and-go. Hygiene is top-notch, but the staff experience is a mixed bag. Orlando's smile is the real MVP here, but some of his colleagues could use a lesson in friendliness. If you're after a quick coffee and a clean space, this is your spot. Just be prepared for some questionable interactions on the side. The food is decent enough—think lukewarm toasties that could have used a few more seconds in the toaster.

Forgettable but functional, this Pret is fine for a quick pit stop. Just don’t expect any Michelin-star service unless it’s coming from Orlando. Seriously, he should be the one training the rest of the team. You might leave with a smile if you catch him on a good day; otherwise, it’s just another day in the world of fast food.
