Wrap It Up!

Boringus maximus.
With so many options on Leather Lane, why would I slap down over 5 quids for such ho-​hum fare?
Having given it a few tries I can say with confidence that Wrap offers nothing outstanding in the way of tastiness, portion or value.
There’s also no where to sit — even the Chicken Cottage down the block has a few seats.

Wrap It Up! legitimately has a few things going for it:
— It’s a new wrap joint in the neighbourhood
— The staff is friendly and welcoming
— Miniature sample burritos! So cute… for me to eat!
— Size options starting with medium and working up to grande — notably, there was nothing small (that wasn’t a freebie)
I’m also somewhat skeptical for several reasons:
— The Turkish shish taouk is served with… gherkins? I’ve apparently been having some other kind of shish taouk my whole life
— At £4.95, ‘large’ wraps don’t come cheap
— The chicken in my wrap was less than tender
— This particular wrap suffered from the ailment that we fondly referred to in university as ‘Chipotle fail’ — you know that moment as you get toward the end of your meal when you realize it’s about to become a disastrous mess?
While I came away from my first experience rather nonplussed, I recognise that Wrap It Up!‘s* menu offers a wide variety of offerings from multiple cuisines. I’d still be willing to return for a go at one of their other items.
