Fulham Road Pret a Manger Reopens


One of ten close to hospitals offering 50% discounts to NHS staff

Pret a Manger in Fulham Road

Pret a Manger's store on Fulham Road has reopened its doors to provide coffee and food for takewaway and delivery.

It is one of ten stores close to hospitals which have been reopened by the chain, all of which will offer 50% discounts to NHS staff.

The branch, at 376 Fulham Road, is next door to Chelsea and Westminster Hospital and around half a mile from both the Royal Brompton and Royal Marsden Hospitals.

Two other local branches close to those hospitals are also reopening in South Kensington and Kings Road, along with stores close to St Thomas’, University College Hospital, St George’s, St John & St Elizabeth and Moorfields Eye Hospitals.

They are being run by 160 staff who have volunteered and who will operate under new safety standards with two-metre social distancing imposed at the back and front of house.

The store is open daily from 8am till 2pm and is offering a reduced menu of favourite sandwiches and salads as well as essentials like milk and bread.

CEO Panou Christou said: " We have reopened ten shops close to hospitals so we can help frontline healthcare workers get more access to freshly prepared food. Our 50% NHS discount is back, and we’re making 7,000 extra meals a week to donate to our homeless charity partners, so we can continue to support the most vulnerable.

"Our priority is always to protect our teams and customers as best we can, and we’ve put in place a number of new social distancing measures to align with the government’s guidance.

"A huge thank you to our Team Members who have volunteered to make this possible. With love, Pano, CEO."

Pret's reopening means that there are now three takeaway outlets in this stretch of Fulham Road, close to the hospital. The Chelsea Creperie, at 240 Fulham Road and the Bagel Bakery Bar at 236D Fulham Road are both open daily for takeaway and delivery.
