Karine Laudort Pret A Manger launches its biggest menu in four years with over 20 flavoursome new Spring items. Last month I was lucky enough to preview the new menu before its official launch.
Known for freshly prepared and tasty food, Pret a Manger is expanding its menu. The new seasonal menu includes a selection of fresh salads and delicious sandwiches inspired by cuisines from around the world.
With the Coronation, the menu features a new category of vibrant and loaded bloomer sandwiches including the Coronation Chicken Bloomer (there’s a veggie egg version too), in time for King Charles III’s Coronation on 6th May.
The menu features a variety of salads to suit every taste, at the launch I opted to try the Korean-Style Chilli Chicken Salad, a BBQ-spiced British chicken dish with brown rice and quinoa, edamame, and refreshing Korean-style slaw on a bed of spinach, finished with an egg and a pot of spicy chilli and lime dressing. I also had the Vietnamese-Style Prawn Salad with king prawns, rice noodles, carrot and mooli slaw, purple cabbage, cucumber, and spinach.
If you are looking for a vegan option, look no further than the Tamari and Ginger Aubergine Salad, also topped with crispy onions and sesame seeds, and finished off with the all-important tamari and ginger dressing and half a lime.
A hearty line-up of new baguettes, rye rolls, wraps and toasties complete the spring menu of main courses. For the wrap fans there’s a Curried Chickpea & Mango Wrap with roasted garlic chickpeas coated in Pret’s own apricot and turmeric coronation sauce, the Korean-Style Chicken & Slaw Wrap and vegan Korean-Style Mushroom & Avocado Wrap at Veggie Pret.
All these foods sound great for a nice Spring picnic but what are the options for the random cold spring days, this is where the toasties take centre stage. Pret are now offering a duo of new toasties the Spicy Salami Toastie filled with Milano salami, sliced mozzarella, chargrilled peppers, red tapenade and harissa mayo, and the delicious re-vamped Pesto, Mozzarella & Roasted Tomato Toastie.
For puds, I was able to try the delicious Black Forest Dessert Pot. The new menu also offers a mouth-watering, rich Salted Caramel Dessert Pot, and a decadent Chocolate Espresso Cake, ideal for a post-lunch or mid-afternoon pick-me-up.
To drink I enjoyed a refreshing Berry Bliss as well as the Applejito Pret Cooler.
To enjoy the new menu pop into any Pret shop or order for delivery via Deliveroo, Just Eat and Uber Eats.
