text: Oh dear oh dear where to beginnnOnly out of laziness do I come here as often as I do Situated no more than yards from my work if I am going out for lunch it is an easy fix And admittedly I do love their Pear Rocket and Walnut salad and that is about the only plus I can muster Im afraidnnIts hard not to compare Let Me Eat to Thyme which occupied the space in its previous incarnation The former is managed by one of the latters old staff so I think that alone gives me licence And with this in mind I cannot help but think they have looked at what Thyme did and tried to emulate it at half the cost Unfortunately it showsnnRolls and Paninis are not filled quite so generously as they once were salads are smaller soups less extravagant The whole set up smacks of a bunch of firsttimers trying to make more money by spending less nnOn my last visit I had Chicken Noodle Soup which was chicken stock fair enough I am a fan of that and about noodles and well let us say I am STILL looking for the chicken Thyme used to offer thick broths and meaty beasts packed with flavour and ingredients Red Thai Chicken Meat Ball Smokin Chicken these are soups Let Me Eat offer think stockbased halfeffortsnnOne morning I opted for toast a bargain at p you would think Only both the bread and butter had been frozen overnight so the bread cooled very quickly and the butter was simply a clumped into the centre of the bread and the lad sandwiched it all together in the hopes it would melt into the bread by the time I got to work Alas it did not WoefulnnIts a shame because the staff are very warm and friendly and I would like them to do well But to succeed with this venture they are going to have to invest in better produce and deliver heartier portions Otherwise they will inevitably follow the path of the superior Thyme If they could not make it these guys do not stand a chance
