Things that embody the advent season: Mistletoe. Tinsel. Holly. Pret’s Christmas Lunch Sandwich.
Pret a Manger has rolled out its festive food selection, a seasonal staple that sees 50p of all sales go to help the homeless while we stuff our faces with turkey, parsnip puree and ham hock.
To kick off the launch in the Christmas spirit, Pret is giving away specially wrapped items from the Christmas menu for free today (8 November) across all 320 stores in the UK on a first-come-first-stuffed basis. You just need to turn up and find one of the gift-wrapped boxes on the shelves (though they may have run out).
Here’s the low down on what you’ll be shovelling into your gob from now until the office closes for Christmas. We’ll give you a review of the menu as soon as we’ve ploughed our way through it.
