One of our fave lunch spots has got to be Pret A Manger – we simply love their salads, wraps and sandwiches and they’ve got awesome lunch deals to boot.Enter the mac… the mac & cheese, that is! Londoners love this delicious comfort food from the popular chain, which is why we’re excited that they’re launching two varieties of it here in the 852 – one with prosciutto and one with cauliflower and kale (they care about you flexitarians out there!). Both will be available from Wednesday, 7 October at Pret A Manger eateries across town.

When: From Wednesday, 7 October onwards
