If you’re hanging onto the last sun of summer, Pret’s autumn menu might be just the thing to get you into the swing of the upcoming season.
From today, you can get your hands on 26 new products in shops across the country, with something comforting for every palate as things get chillier.
The chain’s updated menu focuses on ‘hot food innovation,’ with soups, bakes, hot rolls, toasties and desserts all pairing perfectly with barista-made drinks.
Pret A Manger’s beloved Soup Rota is also back, meaning each day offers a different cosy lunch option.
Twists to favourites include Souper Greens Soup, Butternut and Sage Soup, and Chicken, Red Rice and Greens Broth, while a first-timer – Lasagne Soup – enters the rotation.
This newbie is described as ‘comforting, rich chunky option with ground Italian sausage meat, ditalini pasta and tomatoes with basil, oregano and parsley.’
There are 13 additions to the ‘Pret Hot’ section in stores too, from Layered and Loaded Chilli Chicken Nachos with jalapeños, tomato salsa and melted cheese to Meatball and Mozzarella Risotto Bake combining brown rice and quinoa with a red pepper and tomato sauce, meatballs, mozzarella, Italian cheese and basil.
Meat-free options are also available at Veggie Pret locations, including BBQ Bean Nachos and an Artichoke, Mozzarella and Pepper Risotto Bake.
At breakfast time, look out for Pret’s Protein-Packed Shakshuka, which features spicy red pepper and tomato beans and spinach baked with feta, topped with two poached eggs.
Then, at lunch is a selection of hot ciabattas.
Choose from the BBQ Pulled Pork and Pickles Hot Ciabatta, served with mustard mayo, gherkins, pickled slaw and a crispy onions, the Chipotle Chicken and Feta Hot Ciabatta or the Meatless Meatball Marinara Hot Ciabatta, a vegetarian twist on the classic.
As if that wasn’t enough to get your chops round, there’s an All-Day Breakfast Toastie, Onion Bhaji Melt Toastie, Italian Style Chicken and Basil Hot Wrap, Beef and Horseradish Baguette, Brie and Bacon Baguette Fajita Style Chicken and Avo Wrap, Tandoori Onion Bhaji Salad Wrap, and the returning Avo and Herb Salad Wrap.
Caramel Shortbread, and Lemon and Carrot Fridge Cakes are heading to shelves if you’ve got a sweet tooth, plus the harbinger of autumn itself, the Pumpkin Spiced Latte (with a new Iced option for hot drink haters).
PSL not your bag? Pret also welcomes to its drink menu a first-of-its-kind Chocolate Chai made with organic chocolate powder and mixed with chai spices, so you’ve got a Fall fall-back if you want a warming cuppa.
Alongside the launch, the chain is offering 20% off the entire food menu for Club Pret subscribers, doubling the usual discount.
Katherine Bagshawe, UK Food and Coffee Director at Pret A Manger, said: ‘For the past year, we have been hard at work with developing our autumn menu by offering twists to familiar flavours and many delicious options.
‘This is the biggest expansion of our hot food counter since 2019 and we’re so proud of the variety and quality that our hot food offers.
‘We’ve got plenty of delicious newness, but we’ve also brought back the classics like our beloved Fridge Cakes which have seen over 100 iterations to ensure they hit the sweet spot for our customers expect.’
The range is available nationwide from Tuesday September 5, for dine-in or takeaway, or via delivery partners like Deliveroo, Just Eat and Uber Eats.
