Whittard of Chelsea stores

After two posts already on Whittard of Chelsea (see them here and here), what can I possibly add? I’ve been to Whittard’s in Dubai and in UK. I don’t know if it’s just my luck, but I’ve never been inside a Whittard’s in UK that serves food as well. In Dubai, apart from selling tea,…
