In the interests of fair and balanced reporting (read: further bashing) your intrepid reporter checked on the prices of coffee in this fine establishment. They seem to be fairly high, in line with the coffee shops at high end department stores. The soy milk was .40 (in pence) or approx .80 american at this point in time. Hot chocolate was 2.55 sterling for a small. This is definately more expensive than the other places that I've looked or stopped at. Especially once you and my muched loved carmel syrup (30 p).
In comparision, my lunch today was a largish burger, fries and a pint of cider. I had to pay .60 extra for the cheese. But the original package was 4.99. And the alcohol beverage choice seemed to be encouraged over soda. But there were 11 to choose from, all full size. And I was definitely more than twice as full than drinking a hot chocolate. And the place was called Sheakespeare's Head. Maybe I've consumed inspiration or tiny brain particles, which would be totally sweet.
(It's vacation, why not drink at lunch? Now I remember why I liked being a lush but I didn't get a buzz from the cider. For the record, Pucca was the one walking into doors last night, not me.)
There's two good, nicely-priced ready to eat chains around town, EAT and PRET. Mostly soups, sandwiches, salads and wraps with a couple other things thrown in. They are both soy-locations. Eat has flavored syrupsfor coffee but no bathrooms and closes earlier. Pret is the opposite. The food is good in both and a good alternative to 10 pound lunches when you don't see a package deal.
I'm attemping a second cheese-tomato-free day today. I've had it in sandwiches and or salads every day but one so far. It gets old with me even though the type of cheese changes. A new variant is the mozzarella, roma tomato, avacado salad which I'll admit is quite tasty.
Can you tell I'm getting hungry?
