Pret Opens New Shop at Nottingham Station
Pret A Manger has opened a new shop inside Nottingham Station, taking over a previously vacant unit on platforms 5 and 6.
Really quite terrible cycling conditions today, and the Briefing quite strongly advises against it. The temperature isn't too bad - between 6 and 12 degrees. Even the rain is only a problem in the evening after 6pm. The wind however will reach 50 miles per hour gusts, starting at 40 miles per hour now and last all day.
What's the best thing to do whilst the weather beats at the windows? A cup of tea, of course. Tonight, there are still places left for one of the quite rare Bird and Blend events. Their Spring Mixer event is a tea tasting session where you will get a preview of this year's Easter tea, learn how to make a matcha latte, drink more tea than can be sensible on a school night, then leave with a few bags of tea to take home. Tickets are £15 for the event on Bridlesmith Gate.
In more coffee news, a new Pret A Manger store has opened in Nottingham train station, on platform 5 and 6. The new shop, which is most known for their fancy baguettes and quite good carrot soup, has taken on a unit that was vacant until now. It is trading alongside the existing Pumpkin Café.
The planning permission documents take care to explain how there will be no material changes to the look for the Grade II listed building, other than the new signage. Internally, the premises is quite different. Newer planning permission, which has not yet been decided on, hopes to change the louvre to have air extraction rather than glass.
Simon Pready, Commercial Director of East Midlands Railway, said: "With 3.6 million journeys taking place from Nottingham last year, the new shop opening will have plenty of opportunities to tempt customers with high-quality options, whether they’re commuting, travelling, or visiting the city."
