REVIEW: Pret’s Christmas Lunch by… Pret (duh)
It’s the one you’re all waiting for (except the one person who has requested Greggs over Whatsapp). I’m in Canary Wharf today, and they have a Veggie Pret. But before you get your Brexit voting knickers in a twist, fear not! There are 478,000 normal Prets here as well, so I’ve gone for their traditional…

2012: Christmas Sandwich Round Up
Oh hey there. So the Christmas sandwich thing kind of trailed off the week before Christmas because I spent most of it drunk. And then most of the Christmas break drunk. I didn’t even think about taking photos of any sandwiches. But for the sake of some sort of closure, I have ranked the Chirstmas sandwiches I did…

Sandwich #7: Roast Turkey by Uppercrust
£4.39 – British roast turkey breast, stuffing, bacon, cranberry sauce, apple sauce, white baguette. I have exhausted all of the sandwich places close to the office so had to venture further afield in the cold today and went to Uppercrust at Victoria station. A bit of a trek but that’s how dedicated I am to…

Sandwich #6: Turkey Feast by Boots
£2.60 – Turkey breast and pork, sage & onion stuffing with mayonnaise, cranberry sauce, sweetcured bacon and spinach on malted bread. Today I’ve been to Boots. I was disappointed to find there wasn’t a Christmas sandwich in the Jamie Oliver range, because I’d like that. Again I nearly went for a Christmas sandwich triple pack,…

Sandwich #5: Turkey Feast by Marks and Spencer
£3 – Marinated roast British turkey, pork and chestnut stuffing, spiced cranberry chutney with smoked British bacon with mayonnaise on malted brown bread. I understand some of you have been waiting for this one, so HERE WE GO! I was tempted to buy the Christmas sandwich triple pack but I don’t like salmon so traditional…

Sandwich #4: Christmas Full Works by Eat
£3.50 – Turkey, smoked ham, pork, sage and onion stuffing, cranberry sauce, reduced fat mayonnaise, mixed leaf salad, lack pepper, malted granary bread. I have been accused of being quite negative about the chains I have bought sandwiches from so far, and that this blog might be a stand against franchises and globalisation. But let’s…

Sandwich #3: ‘Festive’ Chicken and Bacon Ranch Melt Sub by Subway
£5.39 (meal deal) – Chicken strips, bacon, Monterey cheese, ranch sauce, lettuce, onion, honey & oat bread. I was wondering where to buy a Christmas sandwich today because I have already exhausted the two options closest to the office and would need to venture out into the cold for more than one minute. Who should…

Sandwich #2: Christmas Dinner Sandwich by Greggs
£2.55 – Turkey, pork and sage stuffing, sweetcure bacon, cranberry relish, mayonnaise, brown bread. Today’s sandwich is from Greggs, mainly because from the office it is the nearest place after Pret. And a good contrast to the faux fanciness and caring of Pret. As with most Greggs there was a queue out of the door,…

Sandwich #1: Christmas Lunch by Pret
£3.50 – Roasted turkey, cranberry sauce, turkey sausage stuffing, crispy onions, spinach, mayo, Pret’s seasoning, granary bread. We’re kicking things off with Pret, mainly because it is opposite work. At university, we used to joke about Pret’s expensive fancy sandwiches made from unicorn and avacado chutney. 10 years later they don’t seem so fancy when…
