Pret A Manger - Gateshead

The toasted sandwich was delicious and it was a nice touch that they offer free water instead of using plastic bottles. The addition of avocado on rye bread is a lovely new option on the menu.

The café is very clean and has beautiful seating. There is a great selection of paninis, sandwiches, and salad boxes that are appetizing. They also offer organic options. The café has a good variety of drinks and everything was enjoyable. It is very wheelchair accessible, however I cannot comment on the toilets.

We called in for a coffee and a sandwich.There is the usual full range of drinks, with a few over sweet specialities for Christmas. The sandwiches are of decent quality and have prices to match. I don't like the way that for example, it says such and such a sandwich is £3.99 in large print, then tell you further down, in much smaller print, that it is £4.79 if you eat in. I would much prefer the prices to be of equal size, with the eat in price first and the takeaway price next to it in brackets. The coffee shop is quite spacious inside and has comfortable seating.

I enjoy visiting Pret at the Metrocentre every week with my friend and her toddler. There is always an exciting choice of sandwiches and soups to choose from. It is reassuring to see the food being brought out after being freshly prepared as opposed to being in a plastic container all day. On more that one occasion we have been offered complimentary coffee or cakes. This week they provided a gingerbread man to the toddler !! This is a nice touch from staff who are always pleasant and happy to converse with customers. I look forward to my usual extra hot decaf latte!

We were with my sister on a Saturday shopping trip to the Metro Centre and called in here for cold drinks! My husband and sister sat outside in the mall and I went for the drinks! I wanted cans of diet coke plus glasses and the young girl who served me was particularly unhelpful! I paid for the cokes, was given no tray and no glasses I asked for the glasses and was pointed towards the far side of the counter in a very abrupt fashion what happened to being helpful towards elderly people? Would not go there again!
