Pret a Manger is a beloved international fast‑casual restaurant chain known for its fresh, natural ingredients and commitment to providing outstanding customer experiences. With a focus on quality, sustainability, and innovation, we're dedicated to delighting our customers every day. Our food is handmade in our shop kitchens throughout the day and anything we don't sell goes to charity. Our coffee is 100% organic (and always will be) and our Coffee Fund is supporting the next generation of farmers.

It's (partly) what we think makes Pret special.
