Pret has just launched a meal deal — and it’s under £5

Lunch just got tastier and cheaper (Picture: Pret A Manger) A lunch at Pret A Manger is the highlight of any working day, but with baguettes, toasties, flatbreads and salads, it’s hard to make a decision. The wrong sandwich could ruin your entire day. Well now, the chain has launched a ‘Pick Your Pair’ lunch deal, giving customers the opportunity to mix and match. From today, for just £4.99 (or £5.99 if you’re eating in), you can choose not one, but two mains. The catch here is that the offer is only available across the lighter options — so that’s the half sandwiches, half baguettes, half flatbreads, side soups, side salads and protein pots. But still, it makes for a decent saving. The Pick Your Pair deal is available on half baguettes and side salads (Picture: Pret A Manger) For example, before the offer, an Italian Prosciutto Half Baguette would cost you £3.75, and a Butternut & Humous Side Salad is £4.75, meaning a combined lunch total of £8.50. With the Pick Your Pair deal, that’s a saving of £3.51. We’ve also scoured the T&Cs, and there doesn’t seem to be anything stopping you from getting two of the same items.

Now, you can buy two halves for just £4.99. Work smarter, not harder, folks. Full list of items available in the Pret Pick Your Pair deal Pret has launched a bundle offer for customers where they can choose two items in the ‘Half’ range for £4.99.

Not all products are sold in all shops. The only other caveats to be aware of is that Pick Your Pair can’t be used in conjunction with any other offer or discount, and that includes those that are Club Pret subscribers. The offer is available all day, every day, but you won’t find any soup on the shelves until 12pm onwards. Matt Bresnahan, chief marketing officer at Pret, said: ‘When it comes to lunchtime, we know our customers don’t want to compromise between taste, variety, and value, so that’s what we’ve focused on delivering for autumn. ‘After a great response to our Pick your Pair summer trial, we’re excited to expand this new platform nationally, giving everyone the freedom to build the lunch they want for under £5.’ It’s a big day for Pret, as the chain has also launched its autumn menu, with a range of new items. There’s a range of new warming soups as the weather turns (Picture: Pret A Manger) Stand outs include their new warm ciabattas, set to bring ‘seriously melty flavours’ to your lunch.
