This was not your regular run of the mill mac. I was pleasantly surprised to find the dish also included cauliflower, one of my favorite veggies, as well as prosciutto. Never have I ever had meat in my mac and cheese. But it was yummy! It was hot, fresh and just what I needed to tie me over until dinner was served on the plane in a few hours. I grabbed the food and headed to the check out. I was in and out and less than five minutes. Service was fast and friendly and my tummy was satisfied!

The table by the door was heaving with sweets and included a delectable looking oversize chocolate chip that all but whispered my name. It was my first time in an outpost of this chain and everything I encountered gave off good vibes, from the large selection of teapigs to the smell of chorizo being grilled for lunch and the airy, light-filled space. Oh and that massive chocolate chip cookie? I ate it over the course of two days and can surely say it was faultless.

Tables of yummy looking pastries and coolers full of salads and sandwich makings and all sorts of other hot and cold foods. I was spoiled for choice!

We decided to give this place a go for lunch, it sells various types of bread, savouries, paninis,toasties and cakes. I decided to try the beef and vegetable pie and it was a large square tin filled with chunks of beef and vegetables - I can safely say this is the best pie i have ever eaten and not mass produced but made on the premises. Once the pie coma had subsided i then tried the chocolate cream filled donut - did i mention that we had just been to the gym so this was well deserved. Even though it recently opened it already has a strong following as by 12.30 alot of the pies, pasties etc had finished but you can ring and order them. As we always have a pie night on the menu instead of the higgledy pies i normally get this will be on my shopping list though i will ring to reserve them to avoid missing out. They sell 2 varieties - chicken and mushroom (haven't tried this yet) and the beef and veg (pics to follow on the checkin) I noticed they also sell the little portaguese custard tarts (which are a favourite of mine). The paninis looked good but if you enjoy a good home made quality pastry item then i recommend you try theirs.

Support independent businesses by dropping into this fab bakers/cafe…read more Fresh bread, cakes and savouries are served 6 days a week. I have tried several varieties of their pies including steak & kidney, chicken & leek, beef & vegetable, all home made tasting scrummy. The pasties and sausage rolls are tasty and ample size. The jam doughnuts are huge, fluffy and full of jam. At Lunch time they serve homemade soup, pannis, toasties etc. A large selection of freshly made sandwiches along with refreshments. The service is always super friendly. There are not many tables but it's worth waiting. The cafe is spotless, bright and welcoming. Always happy to take a telephone order and have it waiting for you to collect. It's a thumb up from me. Xoxo

BUT it's the only affordable vegan option at Terminal 2 (yes, there is the lovely wondertree, but it's more expensive). The vegan options vary and they're still TOO FEW(how about some vegan bakery?), but I always find one soup, and wraps or filled flat bread here. Oh, and salads ofc. Didn't find the sweet potato flatbread this time, but it's my all time favourite. They also have fruits and often a chia pudding or similar vegan dessert. Their juices are made of unicorn tears and instant karma. The only real orange juice you'll ever find in an airport. Thank you, Eat! Service: All over good and impersonal, as expected at an airport with thousands of customers per minute. If the atmosphere were a bit less noisy, I'd never even think about the service. Last time, one from the staff was whistling on and off all the time, like a bird. It reaaaally drove me crazy. But I suppose he was mute, and that it was his way of saying the order is ready? Or that you just have to cope with airport life somehow.

While tables looked clear of dirty plates etc there was grime stuck in the seats such as food particles and lots of flies. Lots and lots of flies. In December. And the crowning achievement of filtiness was watching a staff member use a dirty sweeping brush to remove dirt from tables. Tables where children and elderly people eat from. There were approximately 6 staff standing around behind the counter and why a couple of them couldn't be directed to get some sanitiser and cleaning cloths out us beyond me.

Having not lived in London very long, we had no idea that Ponti's was a chain. Now, I don't have anything against chains in principle, but I do have something against paying £10 for £5 pasta. This was definitely £5 pasta. The interior was very nicely done and had "ambiance", but the service was terrible. After our initial drinks order, no one ever even once came back during the meal to find out if we'd like another one. And they messed up my order and brought me the wrong food. Also, I wish that the menu had made clear that the "bread basket" was going to consist of two half-slices of bread and a whole lorry-load of some sort of cracker. The crackers made the olive-oil and balsamic vinegar they brought completely pointless. I wonder, do they survive off of the random tourist that stumbles in? Or do they really have a dedicated following? All I know is that I don't like mediocre food or bad service and I'm not willing to pay to sit in nice lighting.
