text: Not one but two fast food eateries have announced major menu shake-ups, both in an apparent attempt to attract a new sort of crowd. Burger King, which has launched its summer menu, has branched out from run-of-the-mill sundaes by offering a pina colada smoothie, while Pret A Manger has gone the whole hog and started serving sit-down dinners with wine. The British sandwich chain's new concept is called 'Good Evenings', and runs from 6pm until 11pm every night, but only (for now) at its branch on The Strand in London. Wining and dining: Pret A Manger's new concept (pictured) is called 'Good Evenings', and runs from 6pm until 11pm every night, but only (for now) at its branch on The Strand in London . Pret A Manger, which up until now has been solely a breakfast and lunch operation, allows customers to order at the tills but be served at tables decked out in smart crockery and silverware. Diners can enjoy their meals along with a selection of wines and craft beers as atmospheric jazz wafts from the speakers. Chef Nick Sandler told The Evening Standard: ‘If [customers] come in and say “we’re in a real hurry we’ve only got 20 minutes” because they are going to the theatre we tell them they’ve got plenty of time to order, sit down and have their meal. ‘But equally if someone’s got a bit longer to have a glass of wine and spend an hour with us that’s fine as well, we’re pretty relaxed about it.' Newcomers: Burger King, which just launched its summer menu, has branched out from run-of-the-mill sundaes by offering a pina colada smoothie (right) Grub: Burger King's new Party in the Park menu consists of three new burgers, the Mushroom Swiss Steakhouse, the Pulled Pork BBQ Whopper and the Ciabatta Chicken Tendercrisp (pictured) Evening dishes, which largely feature on Pret's lunch menu anyway, include spicy meatballs, flat breads and dips, and baked falafel, as well as Korean BBQ pulled pork and mac ‘n’ cheese. Burger King's new Party in the Park menu consists of three new burgers: the Mushroom Swiss Steakhouse, the Pulled Pork BBQ Whopper and the Ciabatta Chicken Tendercrisp. Alongside its new Chicken Fries - essentially chip-shaped fried chicken - the fast-food joint is serving three new frozen drinks: the Frozen Lemon Limeade, the Frozen Cherry Berry Lemonade and the aforementioned Pina Colada Smoothie - which is alcohol-free. It comes shortly after Nando's announced its most extensive menu update yet, with new options including its Quinoa Salad, a 'Fino Coleslaw' made from beetroot, carrot and spiced yogurt dressing, and a Portuguese-inspired Churrasco Thigh Burger. Nando's also recently announced its most extensive menu update yet, with new options including a Quinoa Salad (bottom right), a 'Fino Coleslaw' (top right) and  a Portuguese-inspired Churrasco Thigh Burger (top left) Pret is now in good company with its lead competitor, Starbucks, who in February announced the launch of its yet-to-materialize dinner menu. Starbucks Evenings, as it has been coined, will offer a range of hot and cold meals as well as wines and beers to customers, to be served from 4pm. Stansted Airport in Essex will be the first UK location to offer the evening menu, with plans to expand the programme to additional stores. Starbucks UK will also be launching an evening menu, offering ten types of wine plus hot and cold small plates . Options will include Somerset Brie, Cheddar and Blue Stilton cheese platter with oat cakes and aromatic plum chutney (pictured) Starbucks' announcement - and no doubt now Pret's - did cause a bit of a stir with certain alcohol-related charities, who expressed concern that such a large firm is licensing some premises. Emily Robinson, of Alcohol Concern, said: ‘We hope Starbucks will take their responsibility as an alcohol retailer very seriously by ensuring the training of staff and under-age checks are adequate, and that responsible drinking is encouraged. 'It’s a bit disappointing to see another establishment now selling booze which will limit those customers who are in recovery or just wanting an alcohol-free environment.’
