EAT. (also known as EAT. Cafe) is a chain of sandwich shops with over 80 branches in the UK, the majority in London, with others in Birmingham, Brighton, Cambridge, Canterbury, London Heathrow Airport (Terminal 3 and 5), Gatwick Airport, Leicester, Manchester, Windsor, and Edinburgh.
The first shop was opened in October 1996 in Villiers Street, London, next to Charing Cross railway station. Owned and run by couple Niall and Faith MacArthur, the company is similar to Pret a Manger insofar as all the produce is freshly made.[1] Unlike Pret a Manger, food is made in a regional location and delivered to each cafe each morning, and sold the same day.
