EAT. (also known as EAT. Cafe) is a chain of sandwich shops with over 90 branches in the UK, the majority in London.
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.[2]
The style of EAT outlets was designed by David Collins who also designed the look of Café Rouge.[3]
