Morrisons is offering free meals in its cafés for anyone that asks for Henry

A supermarket is offering hot and hearty meals free of charge to anyone who needs them over the next fortnight. Morrisons cafe will give out free Heinz Beanz lunches to its customers with no catch.

The store is collaborating with the baked beans giant for the second time to provide a jacket potato with baked beans to any customer who "asks for Henry". The free Heinz Beanz meals will be available at Morrisons shops nationwide including a number of Welsh branches between April 24 and May 7.

The free meals are available all day and are open to anyone over the two weeks, no questions asked, and Heinz hopes it will be of some help to anyone who needs or wants it this spring while the cost-of-living crisis continues to affect families up and down the country.

The initiative first launched in October 2022 and is inspired by the work of Henry J. Heinz, founder of Heinz and philanthropist. From a young age, Henry would make food with his mother in their family kitchen, using ingredients picked from their garden, to share out to his local community. This young boy then founded Heinz, becoming one of the great benefactors of his time, and was often quoted as saying “give all you can wisely”.

All Morrisons Café staff have been fully trained on the initiative and will know exactly what you’re asking for, whether you say, “is Henry here”, “Henry”, “can I have a Henry”, “can I ask for Henry” or similar.

Jojo De Noronha, President Northern Europe at Heinz said: Last October we launched the ‘Ask for Henry’ initiative for the first time and were blown away by the response. And that’s why we’ve been working hard behind the scenes to bring back the initiative again, available from April 24. We would really encourage anyone who feels they may need or want a hot, hearty meal to take us up on this offer – it’s open to absolutely everyone, and there is plenty to go around. Whilst we know it doesn’t fix the problem, we’d love to be able to help as many people as we can in this two-week period in our own small way.”

Sian Whittle, Category Director for Food Service at Morrisons, said: “Our customers were very grateful for the ‘Ask for Henry’ initiative last year and as they continue to face financial pressures we’re pleased to be renewing our partnership with Heinz. For the next two weeks we’re bringing back our free jacket potato topped with Beanz offer in our cafés nationwide.”
