I was in Bristol and had been for a walk at lunchtime. Nothing had really taken my fancy when I looked at the street food market. I walked around and ended up at Pret. I was thinking about a salad, when I noticed they had their limited edition lobster roll in the cabinet. I thought I might give it a try.
This was wild-caught Atlantic lobster, dressed in lemon mayo and chilli salt, finished with crispy cos lettuce, cucumber and a sprinkling of chives.
It was in a French bread style roll. I should say that though I enjoyed the roll, I was a little disappointed that this was not a fully filled roll, the lobster had been put on the edge of the roll, so it looked like it was full. Not too surprised, as lobster is an expensive luxury and not like ham or cheese. Various press reports say there is 50g in there, so at least we know that, so we can pretend to be not disappointed.
It was one of the more expensive sandwiches I have bought, here in Bristol it was £8.95. It was nice, but not sure it was that nice. Would I get it again? Probably not.
