Taste assessment: Al desco delivers lunch platters straight to the office in an eco-friendly box. With a huge range there is just as much choice as at high street cafés, and most things are delicious. The mozzarella, pesto and rocket baguette was excellent, as was the beef baguette, which was filled with perfectly pink meat, sharp mustard and crunchy gherkins. The bread was pleasingly crusty and tasted fresh. For something more hearty, the pork pie had a good balance of meat to jelly and pastry and was very moist. The egg and smoked salmon sandwich was also great, with a subtle mayonnaise. There was a bit too much pepper in the spinach and feta quiche and the sausage roll was a bit soggy but everything else made up for this.
