Qype: Food Secret in London

London - Eating & Drinking - Restaurants - International


Specialise in healthy quick meals - especially soups consisting of finely chopped raw veg in a broth. Great concept but, being a newcomer, they have a few teething problems largely based around messaging - first thing people want to know if they're doing a build-your-own is prices. We've learnt the concept - we know whether it's a salad or a burrito or whatever that there's a base, a meat, sauces etc - just tell us how much each is. I shunned the soups on the shelf to go through the experience of making my own. Same tub, similar ingredients but it worked out to £6.60 instead of the shelvely £4.40 I was hoping for. Even though they tell you how much the total is before they make it up for you, it's one of those awkward situations where it's a little uncomfortable to back out of. You cannot see the separate parts and they could help you out by doing things like 1 veg = x, 2 veg = x etc. I am, and think many others are like this, happier to work out costs to my own budget in my head.

Otherwise soup was pretty tasty but just not worth the cost. Will check back to see how they're coming along though because I do like the idea.
