Just launched in London are a couple of delivery-only brands, brought together by the company Taster, with some very interesting names behind them (so you won't find these on the high street, but you will find them on the app).

It had to happen someday - lobster rolls are so hugely popular in London that it was only a matter of time before Pret launched their own version. And now it's finally here - served up in their traditional baguette, not in the brioche roll that you might have expected.
