Pret a Manger in Luton - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

I recently visited Pret Luton and was extremely disappointed with my experience. The customer service was terrible—it felt like the staff didn’t want to be there and were just going through the motions. On top of that, the floors and tables were filthy, making the entire place feel unwelcoming and unhygienic. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this location to anyone. There are much better options out there.

The play is absolutely fly infested. Cleanliness levels are sub par which doesn’t help, crumbs on the floor, tuna mayo on the walls?

I open the bag with my takeaway salad inside to find I had been given twenty one napkins! Waste much?

Whenever I travel in London Luton airport, I always go to the pret a manger because the food is very good.

My comment is itended for the Pret a Manger AFTER THE SECURITY, on tge departures. I am writing this review due to the sad and discriminating experience I have just been served with in Pret a Manger. Around 2.45pm on the 23/07/2024 I have left a coffe and a 1 liter bottle (which I am refilling constantly because of the large quantities of water I need) on a table whilist had a run of exactly not even 3 minutes to toilet. A staff has cleared the table straight away. The thing is that when I told to one of the staf what has happened she went to the managet and told him. AND THEN MANAGER OFFER TO LOOK IN TO THE RUBBISH FOR MY WATER BOTTLE?????????????? Like I would take it from rubbish?????? He had a very disrespectful and SAD approach towards my dissapointed feeling I just told him what was and didn't even tried to say a word more.. because someone who offers me to look in to the rubbish???!??! What should I say to him? It made me cry. He didn't even had a courtesy to say apologies. I have then went to purchase a new water and coffe for an extra £10. In another outlet. Not to mention as when the staff cleared my drinks someone went to sit straight away and when I came my bag was moved by people that itended to sit. Anyways. So disappointed by the HUMANS with NO HUMANITY completely. It has made me truly sad and dissapointed in general. Your """"mqnager""""" "deserves a raise" for sure.. Horrible.

My flight was delayed, and I had to stay overnight at the airport. I received a food voucher, which I wanted to use at Pret and Manger, but unfortunately, it showed as already used even though it wasn't. Despite this issue, the staff were fantastic and generously provided me with drinks and food for free. I am so grateful for their kindness and assistance. Thank you! ❤️

This is one of the worst Pret I have ever visited. Staff looking and acting miserable, there's absolutely no customer serc

Atmosphere was good, it was a quiet Sunday morning. The eating area was disgusting, we ended up sitting out in the seating area outside the shops as it was so dirty on the floor, chairs and table we were at. Waited too long for a skinny cappuccino and after being fed up of waiting I asked if they were making my coffee and they said there was no skinny cappuccino ordered. After waiting longer for them to sort out finding out who took my £16 order they then made it and I finally sat down in the filthy seating area to eat my now cold breakfast bap. Better value and service at Burger King across the way folks.

The service was quick. But the quality of the almond pastry and the painaurasin was awful one was qushed the other was not baking correctly. I use pret all the time and never come across such bad pasties. When I took back the almond pastry. They just said that they were all the same qushed.

Very disappointed, not accepting the cupons, wizz offer the voucher to ben used in this place, thei don’t accept, never ever again

Flies!!!! Lots of them..especially just on top of coffee machines. Very unhygienic. Poor server was trying to swat one on the cash machine as he was taking orders. Friendly staff though and plenty of sitting when we were there..

Super rude staff who won’t let people have a simple nap when it’s 4am and you’ve been on planes all night. The least you can do is be kind to customers!

Disappointed today - the eating area was filthy. Crumbs on table, dust on shelf and food on floor. I will not be using Pret at the airport again.

A nice space but unfortunately they have consistently poor food choices. For a busy location, it needs to be better.

Great meals and healthy options. I love pret! The place was a bit crowded and thus, not very neat and tidy.

Insanely expensive. Wrap was dry.

The feedback is not regarding the quality of the food but rather the pricing. Charging £5 for a cup of coffee and £9 for a sandwich seems excessive.

The venue was not crowded on both days I was there and so service and atmosphere were fine, ie. it was clean and in good shape. The sandwiches and other savories, sweet items etc. are not cheap but at least they are fresh and nutritious which is not usually the case in airports on the continent. The free range eggs in the sandwiches are absolutely delicious. Had the coffee been better I would give it 5 stars.

Bacon and egg hot sandwich. Bread was crumbly and old. Expectedly a bit chaotic for a busy airport but the border of litter around the stools was a bit grim.

I was flying from Luton Airport and rather than pay a fortune on the plane I decided to get a snack and a drink from Pret in the departure lounge. The airport was not that busy and once I had chosen what I wanted I went to the counter and was served immediately. The chap who served me was polite and the eating area was clean and tidy and well presented.

I don't think the baguette was baked today.

Firstly it’s just too overpriced like C’MON! £5.90 for a BAGUETTE!? You havin’ a laugh! Like… S’appnin Pret, you alright??? The atmosphere isn’t the best,,, but gloomy. And yea. Sort out ya prices Luv!

Thank you for serving me and my sick son so nicely Amaizing team work Really relaxing ,even extremely busy! Great coffe nice view from window

The Pret at the departures one is completely messy. There is no cleaning service I think. The dirtiest Pret I have ever seen.

Pas mal pour un snack ! Des recettes de sandwich qui changent de l'ordinaire, idem pour les desserts, ça fait plaisir. En plus, les boissons proposés sont majoritairement anglaises.

Used to enjoy a coffee and fresh sandwich here. Now the prices are ridiculously expensive. Sandwiches now come in individual wrapping instead of in pairs....with no price reductions. Must be great for the environment. No wonder so few people are using Pret....it will be our last time. How could a company get it so wrong?

The pastries were all right, but the coffee tasted awful. Maybe is not clean or something, but tastes very bad.

It was well stocked. Staff very nice! Thanks!🙂

Very poor coffee and over the top price. Food also ott prices and they replaced eatin vs take away prices to club vs other , so without club membership, prices are 1.3 times and more.

lovely people working there, very helpful, great coffee ✨

30.01.2024 6:30 London Luton airport I don’t know name of not tall young guy. He was very unfriendly to the customers. I understand it’s early morning but rudeness is not welcome in place where you drink morning coffee.

They have the best drinks 😍 I wish the queues weren’t so long though but it’s an airport! They have two at luton, one before departures and one after.

Busy but efficient, line initially looks long but goes down pretty fast, you need to stay at the right side of the till to get the drinks as it’s very busy but overall ok.

Nice coffee. Unfortunately plenty of people are sleeping in the shop (which leaves less space to sit). Uncomfortable. The opening hours on the Web page are wrong.

Bardzo profesjonalna obsługa. Pan Genti wykazał się dużo znajomością asortymentu i składu produktów,oraz znajomością kilku języków. Dziękuje za pomoc i sympatyczną obsługę.

Absolutely appalling. £8 for a sandwich???? Service and quality is nothing like I’m used to at Pret on the high street. This establishment at Luton airport is so typical of rip off Britain. I thought Pret was morally superior to this greedy mentality.

Italian chef salad was delicious

Delicious coffee and very nice service, advantage is that they accept cash.

i have the pret subscription which i pay £30 a month for. every time i get it i customise it to my liking… today as well as other days i was denied extra juice in my drink by the manager kasha since it’s not the “procedure”. i’ve also asked for less ice and got the WHOLE drink filled with it. it tastes like flavoured water and even that is a stretch. there’s also a new guy on the till who’s attitude stinks, not only does he roll his eyes, speak under his breath but never says thank you or please, basic manners, however i never got his name. it doesn’t cost anything to be nice or polite, but it costs me £30 a month to have my drink thrown in the bin because it’s got no taste. sort it out…

Way too costly, even for a simple hot drink - Green Tea 🤷🏻‍♀️

Ramona provided us with the best service we have ever received, she's was so friendly and attentive. She was so lovely to us as a family and went above and beyond to make sure we were okay after missing our flight which was even more appreciated as we have a 4 month old. (she was happy to gave us some hot water to feed our baby too). She went above and beyond for us and the coffee was great!

Absolutely awful customer service. Would give them zero points if it is was possible to do so. Training is clearly non-existent. Shouty, pushy staff trying to push customers to place an order without giving them time to think. Seen this tactic being used at several Prets lately...Absolutely awful. Avoid. Service at Starbucks was much better, but overpriced.

Exquisite food, really fresh, the salads and fruit are delicious. The staff in the shop in the arrivals area are really professional and friendly.

Coffe was not bad not the best I had But look at this the picture will explain better

Coffee although expensive wasn’t so bad but what made me write this review is their poor customer service. Grumpy, unfriendly staff who seem to hate being there, would certainly not visit next time I am at the airport.

Just off a two hour flight from Prague, and in need of a British cup of tea before we went to find our car and drive home. Chose Pret as usually have a good reputation, and it wasn't busy at all, at about 4:50pm. Two staff members standing behind the counter, looking out but not making eye contact, or saying anything. We tried to catch their attention but nothing. In the end I asked "Are you open?". "Yes" was the curt reply. Ordered two teas. "Do you want milk?" - "Yes, please". The tea was made with milk so no time for the teabag to brew. You'd think these places would know this. Welcome back to the UK. Appalling customer service and tasteless tea. One of the staff members had been ticking away the minutes and had changed to go gome bang on 5pm.

Absolutely disgusting behaviour from the baristas. I’ve ordered my usual skinny warm flat white & got regular latte instead. After pointing that out they made my flat white using the same leftover regular milk they used for latte… when I asked to make my skinny warm flat white again, male barista with long hair started swinging milk jugs at me telling me which milk goes where ( really don’t care, I know what I saw ) & then female barista said she’ll make it again. After she made it she chucked my coffee at the counter without a word and walked away. Instead of being warm it was hot and I burned my mouth. Seriously, go somewhere else if you can.

The lady working here was one of the kindest people I've ever met. Thank you Laura!

The happiest person ever and a coffee made with love!! Thank you!

They’ve awarded themselves two stars in their logo. I would give them only half a star for this and past experiences! I just spent another 15 quid on two sandwiches and a coffee. I ordered a double expresso macchiato like I always do, but what was slopped down in front of me was a small milky mess! when I politely complained and I asked the girl who served me if I could get what I ordered. I got the raised eyebrows and stares of thunder, the server took my coffee back to the barrister and relayed my complaint . The girl who made my coffee looked at it then glanced at me and said that this is a double macchiato and turned back to make someone else’s order. I had to raise my voice to be heard by her and said If you’re making a coffee please make it the way most outlets make it! You’ve put far too much milk in it! She argued again saying this is a double. I had to argue back asking her to please make it they way I want it! I just paid through the nose for it, at least make it the way I want it! The whole experience made me walk away feeling really angry at the fact that I’ve just been ripped off by Pret A Manger Luton airport! Again! On Friday 28/7/2023 at 08:10 in the morning. They charge so much. At least the staff could have a smile on their faces when they take your money. All the staff are miserable as sin. Which makes me think the management must be awful! This isn’t the first time, either every time I come to Luton Airport I get the same experience from pretty bloody Manger. I will now remember to get my coffee from elsewhere

The Customer service of Pret which is working in the ground floor of London luton Airport is very unpleasant and unsatisfactory. They are not even ready to customise the drinks. They are giving so much excuses. They don’t like people coming and ordering the items, especially the barista made drinks. Not even a single day, I felt bad experience from many employees in different days. Their customer satisfaction is absolutely Zero. That is the reason i am putting here the review. But the Pret which is working inside the Arrivals of the airport is very nice and they are dealing with the people in a nice behaviour.

Omg, compete absurdity and utter negligence: not only they no longer have porcelain cups thus generating tons of plastic rubbish but they refuse to serve coffee without the plastics lid for ‘legal reasons’ - simpletons, if someone does not want to take your ‘protection’ the business will never be liable if they burn themselves as the law does not favour the stupid - feel very unprotected not overly clever little brain celled creatures

Egyetlen hely, ahol sikerült sört találnom. Ízletes, laktató szendvicsek és egyeb ételek. Kultúrált, kedves kiszolgálás.

The worst coffee, bleh! The staff doesn’t even now how to do it, they started arguing in front of me how to do espresso doppio, the server said she makes espresso and fills it with warm water 🙈 the other argued with her that that is not how you make it, but the first one said she always makes it like it,so,thank you,no more. And yeah, that’s not how you make double espresso!

Best place in the whole Luton Airport

I came here today for lunch as I had an hour to spend at Luton where there are no restaurants in the check-in area. I got a salad for 6.50 and was charged 7.80 for it. When checking the price, I discovered that indeed, the “sit-in” price was 7.80. This information was included in a miniature print under the “take away”aka regular price in large bold letters. Disregarding this lousy marketing practice, I could just about understand the discrepancy if there was any added value in sitting down and eating your meal on Pret’s premises. But all I got which others who had not foolishly declared they would be sitting in didn’t was a dirty metal tray on which I could carry my salad to a table. Apart from this luxury, Pret charges you an extra 1.30 for eating from the same paper containers with the same disposable cutlery only to be able to sit at one of their tables which they only ever clean up when the mood takes them. In my opinion, this is completely disrespectful towards the customer and if they had any kind of competition in the area, I imagine they would be forced to reconsider this approach.

Good prices, delicious sandwiches, even at the airport.

Really dirty surfaces in the cafe, rubbish everywhere and the furniture looked very tired. Not particularly welcoming.

It is an extremely busy place, near to the corner heading to Gate 1 - 28. We were attended by the very friendly & helpful Station Manager, A.N., one of the best Pret we have been, thanks a lot for the nice experience.

Coffee/espresso drinks are terrible and very pricey .

I'm from Newcastle and never been here. I believe that your former employee from 2004 Tristan Tate aged 16 and Luke the man have worked here. So for giving them the job I rate you 5 stars even though I know nothing about your brand

Lovely place to sit and have a snack before departure. Close to gates 1-6. Lots of seating. Toilets nearby too Fabulous food display and friendly staff. Food is fresh and inviting. Lovely selection of items to choose from.

I really like Pret A Monger but this place is really ran down, so it does not feel like a relaxing service. But I would still come back for the baguettes, they are awesome!

Staff member was not welcoming. Did not even gave receipt and gone.

It was early saturday morning and staff has mixed up people's drinks. 10 people were waiting for their drinks but couldn’t get what they’ve ordered. Friendly advise would be, to get orders numbered, so customers would know when to expect their drinks and reduce stress of missing flights.

Just wanted to say how nice they were for paying for my Latte for me to break my fast in Ramadhan. May Allah bless them.

Even on a busy morning I still was served in 2 minutes and had somewhere to sit. The food seems slightly more expensive than on the high street but your pret subscription does work here. So sit back and enjoy a free coffee while you wait for your flight to be called. Enjoy :)

I bought one small flat white. Yet you’ve taken two transaction of different amounts from my card!! Not happy have reported you to my bank . Bank!!

Very very busy given it's competitive prices. Getting drinks was very chaotic, as no receipts were involved. They just call the drink and assume you know who you're behind and don't collect somebody else's drink. The sausage and egg bap was very hard and dry, because it was a ciabatta bap and, the sausage, although tasted ok, looked like a vegetarian sausage. Capuccino was good. We were lucky to have found a small table in-between 2 groups of people, so other customers either didn't see it or didn't want to squeeze in.

Worst customer service ever, I would give zero star if there was the option to! Rude staff at the till, they do not consider customers at all and make you feel stupid if you ask something! I'll never go back here, spent £30, you are losing a great customer too! To recruitment and management: please employ people who care and train them properly, this doesn't seem Pret AT ALL!

Pret A Manger at London Luton Airport is convinient because you may get coffee, food, as well as charge your phone there. Tables are dirty. Service is fast. Cappuccino was lack of foam and quite expensive. We paid 3,65 £ per it. Macchiato was very expensive too. We paid 2,80 £ for a small cup.

Very poor customer service, standing, chatting, ignoring customers. I’ve just bought a few items and one young girl did not ask if I would like a bag, after me asking she replied “yes you can” in a disrespectful way. She didn’t feel like putting my stuff in the bag which is fine but her attitude was appalling. Never happened to me before since I always have really good experience at Pret.

Good morning at 3:30 am on January 15th I went to the first shop you have at Luton airport in London, I asked for a cappuccino and I had a hot chocolate, I returned to the saleswoman, saying that I had ordered a cappuccino and no hot chocolate and he changed it for me, after which I asked if he would kindly put the chocolate on top of me and the very grumpy lady almost huffed! only one person in the bar, all the tables were also dirty, i don't know if she is the manager, but really bad service.

I recently stopped at Pret at London Luton airport for a quick sandwich and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. The salmon sandwich was fresh and flavorful, and the service was fast and efficient. They also have a filtered water fountain where you can refill your own bottle, which is a great way to reduce waste and save money.

Looks like staff has no idea how to make 3/4 black americano. Also dirty dishes were standing for years waiting to be taken, however staff just chatted and did nothing

Pret lover here. Always nice to find Pret at airports, thank you for the great coffee.

A very mediocre experience. Service and coffee not up to scratch. Long waits for no apparent reason. Didn't eat so can't comment 9f the food but it looked good and was well stocked.

Rude staff. Dirty tables. One member of staff actually sat at a table and went to sleep. What a shame. Pret is usually great.

Staff is unkind. A waitress did a specific effort to prevent me from napping at a table, in an empty coffeehouse, having purchased a drink, less than 10mins earlier while waiting for check-in at 7am. This was not only completely unnecessary, but also she kept insisting that "they don't provide beds" and that "it is not a hotel". I can see why people prefer to sit outside instead of being their customers.

Les produits sont frais, personnel extrêmement sympathique. Le café est très bon !

I gave a star because I don't have the nonstar option at all! The place is old and filthy.... And the staff needs to be trained in customer service maners.

Scandi Style Salmon and New Yorker Rye rolls are my favourite! Absolutely love them.

Bought a ham and cheese baguette from here on 01/10/22. Awful. The baguette was unpleasantly doughy and chewy and the ham tasted like something from Tesco's value range. Person who served me appeared to have lost the ability to communicate. Can't understand why people rave about this overrated rubbish?

Paid £4 for a sandwich that had two hairs inside; one from the head and one short body hair.

I just missed my plane and you saved my hapiness today with the kindness 😊 Lovely team, everything was lovely thank you so much everything. ( Pret A Manger before check-in)

the customer service here is dreadful, ordered an iced latte which they said they didn’t have but that was fine. the lady on the till made me feel like such an inconvenience and was so rude that I almost wanted to say something to her even though I never do that since I work myself as a receptionist and I feel for staff. will choose a different cafe next time.

the out matcha was not prepared properly, was very little matcha in it, the color was not green, but altmost white, it was very little of matcha flavour inside, mostly could taste hot out milk

Went to pret to grab a drink and hot roll around 5am. The cashier was extremely rude and sarcastic. It does not take much effort to be civil. Then he made a face as I walked away. It takes a lot of effort to be unnecessarily rude. Please speak to your employees about customer service.

Just give me a favour shut down. Terrible service and disgusting coffee. Unprofessional barista not worthy the money.

*** Landside shop *** Definitely not recommending. I ordered small bottle of coke and a latte. The lady asked me to wait on the side for my coffee (there were already 10 people waiting for their orders). After 5 mins of waiting I spotted that people who ordered after me getting their order first so I told the shop staff that I'm still waiting for my coffee. I said that those who ordered after me receiving their order before me. They kept preparing drinks for other and completely forgot about my coffee. After second reminder of waiting for my bloody coffee I finally got my order. The shop staff wasn't nice. Won't go there again.

Maciej the bartender made my day! Excellent customers service, positive attitude, coffee was made perfect and the food was fresh and tasty! The sitting area clean and tidy , plenty food options! Pret a manger never disappoints me! Keep it up guys and best wishes for the future !

Worse service ever ,I waited for coffee so long When I asked a lady to check fo me where is my Vanilla latte she answer"wepassed it " and shak her arms.I tried to explaine her I di6 get it ,she said it's not her problem .She told me she is a manager Congratulations Pret fo very professional and rude managers .Fortunately nice guy from staff made me a coffee.

Amazing food and friendly staff

Fresh croissants out the oven as well as a 10/10 chai latte from the beautiful Sana, great customer service skills provided by Zayn also. Great start to the day

Bought two coffees before our flight on 27 June, only filter coffee was available for some reason, it was too awful to drink, so weak and watery, very disappointed that they would serve such low grade coffee, they must think their customers will drink any rubbish, will never buy a coffee from them again, surely we deserve better.???

Overcrowded and dirty, decent view

The worst customer service. We need to wait for coffee for one hour .I donot recommended this place .the staff is busy in chatting.

Chaos, waited 10 minutes for flat white. Staff clueless and couldn’t care less.

I love Pret’s food , but what a shame for the service . Staff were not engaging , very lethargic and did not care for being there or offering any type of service .

The most kind random act of kindness from a member of staff made my day. Thank you!
