From: frat Category: Consumer Date: 15 October 2007 Time: 03:38 AM Review: The quality of Pat. Val. varies enormously. This new one near Marble Arch seems pretty good much better than the atrocious example near Spitalfields Market. The sandwiches, juices, and coffee are all good, and not much more expensive than the awful multigrain breaded Pret and the rest. I particularly enjoy the frisbee sized smoked salmon and cream cheese bagel which at about £2.70 is good value filling you with large quantities of salmon and cream cheese in the right balance. Service is friendly if occasionally flustered. and it really is hard to believe it belongs to the same stable as the afore mentioned ridiculously expensive not that great to eat there, pat val of spital which I hate.. Perhaps I have just become delusional or addicted to smo. sal. bag. or developed some kind of mad sal. dis. Who knows?
