As the number of people with coronavirus continues to rise, NHS staff are working as hard as they can to save lives.
In a bid to thank them, Pret A Manger is offering all NHS staff free hot drinks and will also give them 50% off all food.
From today, anyone with an NHS staff ID can pick up the free drinks and discounted food in all branches of the coffee chain.
A post on social media said: ‘Dear NHS workers, your hot drinks are on the house from today, and we’ll take 50% off everything else.
‘Thank you for everything you are doing.’
‘We look forward to serving you.
‘With love, everyone at Pret.’
In a post today, the chain also said it would be closing all seating areas and operating mainly as a takeaway business from now on.
Last week, they also said they would no longer be accepting reusable cups.
