New Pret range springs into life

Pret A Manger has launched its biggest menu in four years, with over 20 new spring items. The selection of fresh salads and sandwiches, wraps, toasties, hand-crafted rye rolls, bloomer sandwiches and decadent dessert pots is inspired by cuisines from around the world.

The Korean-Style Chilli Chicken Salad is a BBQ-spiced dish with brown rice and quinoa, edamame and Korean-style slaw on a bed of spinach, finished with an egg and a pot of spicy chilli and lime dressing. Also on offer are a Mexican-Style Chipotle Chickpea Salad with sweetcorn salsa and avocado, and a VietnameseStyle Prawn Salad with king prawns, rice noodles, carrot and mooli slaw, purple cabbage, cucumber and spinach. Their Greek Salad side is inspired by Pret’s popular US menu item, containing diced feta, roasted tomatoes and Kalamata olives.

There are further vegan and vegetarian options available at Veggie Pret, including the new Korean-Style Sticky Mushroom Salad and Chickpea, Avo & Egg Bowl.

Also on offer is a brand-new category of seeded bloomer sandwiches, just in time for the King’s Coronation – the Coronation Chicken Bloomer and Coronation Egg Bloomer. Taking inspiration from international favourites, the Italian Deli Bloomer loaded with Milano salami, reve cheese, roasted tomatoes and pesto, and the Veggie New Yorker Bloomer will join the line-up alongside the British favourite, Crayfish & Rocket Bloomer.

Katherine Bagshawe, Pret UK food & coffee director, said: “For nearly a year, our team have been working hard on creating a new menu with bold, vibrant flavours. From researching trends to sourcing the right spices, we’re really proud of the quality we’re offering our customers. We wanted to create something for every taste, at any time of day!”

Baguettes, rye rolls, wraps and toasties complete the mains menu, including the Avo Brunch Rye Roll, with sliced egg, avocado and a spicy chipotle ketchup. A duo of new toasties include the Spicy Salami Toastie filled with Milano salami, sliced mozzarella, chargrilled peppers, red tapenade and harissa mayo, and the revamped Pesto, Mozzarella & Roasted Tomato Toastie.
