Containing: Chargrilled chicken with sunblush tomato relish, yogurt, tomato and mixed lettuce in a multigrain tortilla

Review by Michele:
This sandwich is quite the deceiver. It looks so boring, but it is a taste explosion. SO tasty and interesting! Extra points for the yogurt dressing instead of the evil mayo. The only criticism I have is that the mixed leaf lettuce is not necessary and detracts from the sandwich as it goes soggy from the other ingredients. Otherwise, surprisingly top sandwich.

Review by veg:
Cucumber is an unusual ingredient to find in a sandwich labeled "Chicken and Bacon", and whilst it may infuriate the surprisingly large number of cucumberphobics out there, it certainly does alter the entire timbre of the ensemble. And personally, I loved it. Not only did it alter the texture, providing a crisp edge to the otherwise soggy bacon/mayo mix, but also a refreshing lift in flavour.
Every so often the tranquility of the experience is jarred by a surprising tang of vinegar and pepper in the mayo which really gives this excellent sandwich an advantage over the similar offering from other manufacturers.
It certainly wasn't perfect: nearly three quid, contained evidence of front-loading and the all too common "malted" sugary bread. However these are very minor points and the shop was in a very affluent area of London which may explain the price. In all it seems that Ginsters have sucessfully bridged the gap between pasties and sarnies. Good stuff.

Review by Buzza:
A mighty sandwich but not for calorie counters. Plenty of chicken on the up side but a tad too much mayo. Should be good as an alcohol soaker-upper.

Containing: Raosted salmon, hard boild egg, mustard mayo, salad

Review by veg:
A typically high quality production from the daddy of sandwichiers, Pret. Egg and salmon can be a beautiful combination, but most manufactures plump for the same option of smoked salmon and egg mayo which, whilst being delicious, is difficult to make interesting. But Pret have pushed the envelope by using hard boiled egg slices together with roasted salmon and mustard mayo in the salad. Altogether a gestalt of flavour and texture that fills and pleases with every bite. High quality bread and fresh salad are the extra touches that help justify the considerable price tag. My only complaint is that the fish tasted exactly like mackerel rather than roast salmon; not a problem for me, but other people may not appreciate it.

Review by Rich Wilcox:
Really very good. Salad was fresh and the baguette was nice and crisp and the chicken had a nice 'bit' to it.
