It's shocking how impersonal and unfriendly the service is here and a complete contrast to other places like Pret Wembley. If you're there to read a book or chat with a friend then you'll have to fight through the loud music they're now blasting out. Also if you like your coffee strong then this isn't the place to be.

The manager is the worst human alive , she dosen’t even respect basic food safety principles . Probably the company trained her but she should be an example of it .How this company can keep her there .It’s an insult to the industry she camed out from the kitchen with the protective gear and went back back without replacing it .

So I have been working from this Pret for about a month now, and im really enjoying it. The internet is surprisingly good! The staff are always sooo nice! Especially Mohammed and Rob! Always super friendly, its a pleasure to chat with them each day. They close the upstairs part of the shop at 5, which is a little early considering the shop closes at 7:30. Around 4pm it seems they turn the aircon up full blast...but when I ask they turn it up. Sadly we do get homeless looking people sleeping on the couches upstairs, but they have never bothered me.

The only thing that makes this place worth visiting is the card entitling you to 5 drinks a day for a month. A large percentage of many of the coffees is comprised of foam. The queue system at this particular Pret is ridiculous, as customers must stay huddled together in a corner to await their drinks. One or more of the toilets is usually out of order. The upstairs closes by 5, although the downstairs closes at 7.30, which results in limited seating and a filthy downstairs toilet.

Ordered hot chocolate and tea. Realised people who purchased after me were getting their drinks. I ask and told they hadn't come through to machine. Was given drinks and had seen the milk had been sat on side a while. Tried it and said could I have hot one. The rude female server said it was boiling. I drank 3 mouths to prove it was cold. Her response to tell me no need to be rude and loudly tell the server to her right to make my drink as she wouldn't!!!! He made me a fresh drink, proceeded to tell me they had been busy as 1st day Xmas Market etc. Then said as got cream on top the hot choc may be cooler. It was super hot and perfect. I mentioned the other server had been unnecessarily rude and when I took my drinks she shouted, and a happy Christmas to you too! I had no issue or the fact I had to wait longer for drinks, it happens BUT there was no need for the female server to be nasty, rude, argumentative and sarcastic. Really let your team down and if I lived round here I would submit a formal complaint and follow it through until the end.

The place is mixed in with the crowd of other places, the menu is already in the form of a plastic cardboard box, previous dumpling sets he doesn't exist anymore !!!! ,you have to go to pick up the bill because the staff forgets to take an interest, ;(( generally it's not as nice as it used to be.

I have visited twice since the refurb , service and taste is good but the portions are extremely small compared to other branches (I have been a long time Nando’s fan so have a lot to compare to) I would say smaller by at least a third! We pay good money for fair portions so very disappointed. I probably won’t return simply for that reason.
