Pret A Manger will be opening the doors to its first Veggie Pret Manchester in October (the first outside of London) following hundreds of customer requests on social media asking the company to open Veggie Prets in more cities.
The fourth Veggie Pret shop will open on Deansgate with a new menu (which will launch in Veggie Pret shops in London at the same time), and it will combine veggie classics with new dishes, such as Pret’s Butternut & Cauliflower Gratin and a Spicy Halloumi & Peppers Toasted Baguette.
On the 25th September, Pret A Manger will also launch new vegan sweet treats alongside new vegan and vegetarian dishes. Here is a run-down of what to look out for:

Inspired by the classic American ‘peanut butter & jelly’ recipes, Pret’s first gluten-free brownie is made with ground almonds and dark chocolate to give it an incredibly fudgy flavour. It’s
