It's that much anticipated time of the year again, when the Christmas menus at the nation's favourite chains start to make an appearance.
It is the return of festive food – and high street chain Pret is now ready to get involved with the return of their iconic Christmas sandwich.
Fans need wait no longer for they will be able to fill their lunch breaks with the goodness of the turkey sandwich with all the trimmings imminently.
Loyal customers were able to get their hands on the seasonal sarnie from Monday November 6, when guarded safes appeared outside select Pret stores, including Carnaby Street in London, Spinningfields in Manchester, Central Square in Cardiff, and Sauchiehall in Glasgow.
The safes also popped up at 10 other London stores – Tottenham Court Road, Canary Wharf, Queen Victoria Street, High Holborn, St Martin's Lane, Hanover Square, Strand, Old Broad Street, Mortimer Street, and St John's Road.
But fear not if you missed out, because the iconic festive sarnie will soon go on sale to the public at every Pret store.
The sandwich – as in years gone by – features thick slices of British turkey with a zesty Port & orange cranberry sauce, herby pork stuffing, and fresh baby spinach, finished with a generous dab of mayo and a sprinkle of crispy onions, which stay crunchy all day long. It will be available to the public nationwide from today – Tuesday, November 7.
Becci Dive, UK head of marketing at Pret, said: "Everyone knows Christmas hasn’t truly arrived until your lunch can be a Pret Christmas sandwich.
"We get asked all year round when we are bringing back our famous Christmas menu and are excited to be kicking off festivities this year by offering our most loyal Club Pret subscribers this special Christmas treat. Using data, we’ve identified our most festive customers, and we’re excited to brighten their day a little earlier than the rest of the country.
"We are always looking for ways to spread joy, and enhance the value of being a Club Pret member, and what better way than creating a unique experience that offers them an exclusive first taste of our beloved Christmas sandwich?"
