To the British Museum for the Shakespeare exhibition. Surprisingly entertaining. A snack in their courtyard cafe. This has changed franchise since we were last there, and is now run by Benugo, a name with which I am unfamiliar. Apparently they took over on 9th May after a competitive tender, and they operate in other museums. Seemingly a retrograde step, as the choice is less and the prices have gone up. I guess that is how they won the tender.
One sandwich, a piece of cake and two coffees came to £9.23 after 10% member's discount. The sandwich (£3.25) was fresh, and fairly well filled with tasty filling, but a similar sandwich at Pret (see previous comment) cost half the price. Honey and oat cake was a little dry and crumbly - maybe it had been out too long. If you have a family, this would be a big hit. As the museum is largely full of tourists, no one cares, but most of them are taking advantage of the BM being a cheap day out.
This is simply too expensive for simple fare which can be purchased outside for much less. No wonder there were lots of free seats.
