Pret A Manger - Cherwell

I have been a patron of Pret for over twenty years and have always found them to be the best makers of sandwiches and salads on the high street. They use local ingredients of excellent quality, making it worth the extra cost. However, I was a bit surprised at the price increase this time. The restaurant is always very busy, but the staff are quick and efficient. It's always a challenge to find a table, but we usually wait outside to grab one. Despite the higher prices, our lunch was delicious and the quality remains top-notch. I will continue to come here because it is still the best option available.

Visited this cafe in the village today with a friend. The cafe was clean and tidy, but I was shocked to pay £14.75 for a soup, small fruit pot, and a flat white. I understand that restaurants often have high markups on their products, but this was excessive. I will not be returning anytime soon.

This restaurant is a complete scam. We were charged £27 for 2 sandwiches, 2 bags of chips, and 2 drinks. We were shocked when the waitress told us the total bill and even asked her to double check. The service was slow and despite sitting inside, it was freezing because they had no heating on. Sorry Pret, but even though we used to enjoy coming here for lunch, we will never be returning to your stores again!

Avoid!! Expensive machine made coffee, which tastes dreadful, and they charge a ridiculous amount for it too. I was intending to buy a salad but at £9 for mostly leaves, I thought better of it. Pret was always a bit more expensive there but they’ve inflated the prices so much now. I won't be getting lunch from there again.

Tables dirty despite it being very quiet on a Monday morning, didn’t see a single staff member cleaning. Considering a member of my party is coeliac the amount of crumbs and general grime on tables is not just disgusting but unsafe. But the prices really take the biscuit 4 drinks for £17!!! Having visited this pret multiple times over the years the increase in prices compared to the abysmal service and unclean restaurant is a complete joke. If you’re in Bicester Village visit the Farmshop instead!
