Pret a Manger?
What do they serve in there? By products of the cheese making industry presumably?

Pret a manager was my first experience of pretentious foodie bollocks.
Fairly sure it was the 'Wiltshire cured ham and swiss greve cheese baguette with mixed salad leaves and mustard mayo'. Up to that point in my life I'd only ever had ham and cheese rolls.

Mr Google tells me that it is a glorified cob shop and there is one in Nottingham. Don't think I'll bother

Back in the day, Pret-A-Manger used to have 'rocquet' in their salads.
For those not familiar with it, EAT is *very* similar to Pret-A-Manger, but with better soup and worse sushi.

I prefer Pret soup to Eat, find the latter too starchy, but it depends what you like. Pret thrives because its sandwiches are at least as tasty as (and far less likely to kill you than) the various Italian/Portuguese/Greek/Syrian independent outlets that you find in places like Westminster.
Having said that I'm about to tuck into an exotic mackerel speciality from one of the local indies. Living dangerously.

Greppers, re sushi, did you know that Itsu is run by the original Pret people?
