Pret A Manger Menu Prices in Uk [2026 Updated]
Pret isn’t cheap anymore. But there are still ways to game the menu.
If you’re checking the Pret A Manger Menu Price in Uk, a realistic lunch budget is now around £6–£8 for something substantial, before you start adding extras. The Classic Super Club at £6.00 is fairly reasonable by today’s high-street standards, but paying £7.00 for the Chicken Caesar & Bacon Baguette makes you think twice about what used to be an easy office lunch.
The funny thing is that Pret still has one of the better small bargains on the high street: Organic Filter Coffee at £1.50. That’s unusually cheap for a UK coffee shop, especially if you just need caffeine rather than a full breakfast.
The smarter lunch move is often the half-baguette. The Pole & Line Caught Tuna Half Baguette starts at £2.75, giving commuters and students a way to keep the bill down without pretending a full meal is worth £10 every day.
Then there’s the premium end. The Miso Salmon Super Plate costs £14.95, which is getting close to proper restaurant-lunch money rather than grab-and-go territory. That’s a huge gap from Pret’s cheapest items, and it shows how wide the menu’s pricing has become.
So if you’re searching for the Pret A Manger Menu With Price, don’t just look at individual prices. Look at what actually fills you up for the money. We also verify prices across multiple locations, since high-street pricing can fluctuate.
That’s where the useful stuff starts.

Must Try at Pret
Chicken Caesar & Bacon Baguette – £7.00

This is the classic finance-bro lunch. You know the type: laptop open, spreadsheet glowing, phone balanced beside a coffee, and a £7 baguette sitting on a napkin that has already given up trying to contain it. It is wildly expensive for a sandwich, but this is still the one I keep coming back to when I want something that feels like an actual lunch rather than a snack pretending to be one.
The thick parmesan shavings are the first thing that make it work. Then you get the salty bacon, creamy Caesar dressing and chicken, all packed into proper artisan bread with enough crust to give your jaw a workout. This isn’t soft supermarket bread that disappears after three bites. You have to chew it. Properly.
And that creates the second problem: your desk becomes a crime scene. Caesar dressing squeezes out the side, parmesan ends up on your keyboard, crumbs fall into your lap and there’s always one heroic piece of bacon that refuses to stay inside the baguette. I’ve eaten this while trying to answer emails and ended up holding half the sandwich in one hand while typing with the other.
At 596 calories, it’s substantial without being ridiculous, although the £7 price stings more than it used to. You could buy cheaper lunches almost anywhere, but few have this combination of salty bacon, sharp parmesan and crunchy bread. If I had to pick one Pret sandwich to represent the place, this would be it.
It is also the one I’d avoid if I’ve got a client meeting in five minutes. Caesar mayo on a shirt is not a strong professional look.
For sheer satisfaction, though, this gets my editor’s pick. Expensive? Absolutely. Worth eating? Also absolutely.
Pole & Line Caught Tuna Half Baguette – £2.75

Here is the bit of Pret’s menu that still makes sense.
The Pole & Line Caught Tuna Half Baguette costs £2.75, and that makes it one of the few realistic options when you need food but don’t fancy handing over a fiver before you’ve even bought a drink. Don’t expect a feast. This is half a baguette, and Pret hasn’t secretly doubled the portion when nobody was looking.
It’s small. That’s the point.
The filling keeps things simple, with tuna and cucumber providing enough substance to stop your stomach complaining for a while. There’s no elaborate pile of leaves or an unnecessary collection of trendy ingredients. The cucumber gives it a straightforward crunch, and the bread does most of the heavy lifting.
At 257 calories, this isn’t going to carry you through a twelve-hour shift. But if you’re heading home for a proper dinner, it’s a smart little bridge between lunch and whatever you’ve got planned later. It’s also handy when you know you need something in your stomach but don’t actually want a full meal.
I’d take this over spending £6 or £7 on something simply because I’m hungry at that exact moment. The portion is modest, but the price is honest.
For anyone trying to keep a Pret visit under three quid, this is the answer. No nonsense, no pretending it’s a banquet, and no financial regret when you look at your bank balance later.
Classic Super Club – £6.00

The Classic Super Club is what happens when you decide Thursday afternoon deserves a proper intervention.
Get the sandwich, add Sea Salt and Cider Vinegar crisps, grab a full-fat Coke and you’ve built the sort of desk lunch that isn’t pretending to be healthy. It’s designed to get you through the final stretch of the working day when your concentration has disappeared and every email looks personally offensive.
The chicken, bacon and mayo combination is difficult to argue with. The granary bread is soft enough to make the sandwich easy to eat, but it has enough texture to stop everything becoming one bland mouthful. Bacon brings the salt, chicken gives it substance and the mayo ties everything together.
At £6, it’s also easier to justify than the £7 baguette. You still feel like you’re spending a decent amount on a sandwich, but the Classic Super Club gives you enough food to make the purchase feel like lunch rather than an expensive snack.
Then you look at the calorie count: 528 for the sandwich alone.
Add crisps and a full-fat Coke and you’re firmly in serious-lunch territory. This is not the choice I’d make before sitting through an afternoon presentation where I’m expected to remain alert. Five minutes into that meeting, I’ll be fighting sleep.
But on a Thursday? Different story.
There are days when sensible eating isn’t the objective. You want chicken, bacon, mayo, salt, fizz and something crunchy on the side. This is that lunch.
Miso Salmon Super Plate – £14.95
Fifteen quid.
That’s the first thing to say about the Miso Salmon Super Plate because pretending the price isn’t slightly ridiculous would be dishonest. You’re buying lunch in a cardboard box, not sitting down at a restaurant, and £14.95 is enough to make most people pause before tapping their card.
The annoying part is that the food actually gives you a reason to hesitate before dismissing it.
The salmon is the centrepiece, but the edamame and miso dressing give the plate enough character to feel like something more considered than a pile of leaves with protein dropped on top. At 761 calories, the portion is also properly substantial. You aren’t going to finish it and immediately start searching for a bakery.
The miso dressing is particularly useful because it brings enough savoury depth to stop the vegetables feeling like punishment. Edamame adds texture and makes the whole thing feel more complete.
This is the healthier choice I’d make when I’ve got a long afternoon ahead and don’t want a sandwich followed by another snack an hour later. The calorie count is fairly high, but that’s because this is an actual meal rather than a tiny “healthy” pot that leaves you hungry.
There’s just one problem.
Eating this at your desk makes you look extremely pretentious.
There’s no way around it. Everyone else has a sandwich and crisps while you’re opening a carefully arranged salmon plate with edamame scattered around it like you’ve brought lunch back from a restaurant in Shoreditch.
Still, if you’re prepared to pay almost £15, at least you’re getting a serious portion. The price is eye-watering, but the food earns its place as the strongest choice here for someone who wants a more balanced, substantial lunch.
Posh Cheddar & Pickle Baguette – £6.00
The Posh Cheddar & Pickle Baguette proves that Pret doesn’t always need chicken, bacon or some elaborate sauce to make a sandwich work.
This is basically a lesson in getting a few ingredients right. Mature cheddar brings the sharpness, pickle gives you that sweet-sour hit, and the sun-dried tomatoes add another layer that stops the whole thing becoming cheese and chutney on bread.
The cheddar is doing most of the work. If you don’t like strong cheese, don’t order this and hope the pickle will rescue you. It won’t. The mature flavour is front and centre, and that’s exactly why I like it.
Then there’s the bread.
It’s crusty enough to scratch the roof of your mouth if you’re eating too quickly, and somehow you don’t even care. That’s part of the appeal. You get that proper crunch on the outside before hitting the softer filling, and it makes the sandwich feel more substantial than its ingredient list suggests.
At £6 and 643 calories, it’s not a lightweight lunch. In fact, the calorie count is surprisingly high for a vegetarian baguette, so anyone choosing it because they think “vegetarian” automatically means “light” should have another look.
For me, though, this is the vegetarian option that actually feels like lunch. There’s enough cheese, enough bread and enough sharpness to keep every bite interesting.
It’s simple. It knows what it is. And sometimes that’s exactly what you want from Pret.
Kids’ Pizza Toastie – £3.50 & Kids’ Humous Bowl – £1.90
Pret isn’t a family restaurant, and that’s exactly why these two options become useful when you’re dragging a toddler through a train station and desperately trying to keep the situation under control.
The Kids’ Pizza Toastie costs £3.50 and does exactly what a child expects it to do: melted cheese, toastie, pizza-style filling, no unnecessary complications. At 379 calories, it’s also enough to count as proper food rather than a couple of bites before the inevitable demand for something else.
Then there’s the Kids’ Humous Bowl at £1.90 and 74 calories. Tiny, simple and functional.
Put the two together and you’re spending £5.40 on food for a child, which can feel like a minor miracle when you’re standing outside a packed station with a toddler who has suddenly decided that every other restaurant is unacceptable.
This isn’t gourmet family dining. It isn’t supposed to be.
It’s about getting food into a small person quickly enough to buy yourself twenty minutes of peace. The toastie provides the main event, the humous gives you something easy on the side, and suddenly everyone can sit down without an argument about chips.
For families, that’s value.
I’d call this the best family meal on the menu purely because it understands the job. It doesn’t try to be clever. It just gets a hungry child fed without turning the whole trip into a £15 exercise.
Falafel, Avo & Chipotle Flatbread – £6.15
The Falafel, Avo & Chipotle Flatbread has one major flaw, and it becomes obvious about three seconds after the first bite.
It falls apart.
Not gradually. Not politely. Instantly.
The falafel is crumbly, the pickled cabbage has its own agenda, and then the chipotle sauce arrives to make sure your shirt has absolutely no chance of surviving the experience. It is the sort of lunch that demands a plate even though Pret has designed it for people who probably don’t have one.
Taste-wise, though, it has plenty going on. The falafel brings that earthy, slightly dry texture you expect, while the pickled cabbage cuts through it with acidity. The chipotle gives everything a smoky heat that stops the flatbread tasting flat or boring.
The avocado helps soften the filling, but it also contributes to the structural collapse.
I’ve made the mistake of eating something like this while walking between meetings. Never again. You take one bite, realise you’ve got sauce on your fingers, then try to wipe it without dropping the other half. By the time you’ve reached the office, you’ve basically eaten lunch through your hands.
At £6.15, it’s not cheap, but the flavour makes more sense than the price of some of Pret’s more elaborate options. It’s a solid vegan choice for someone who wants something with proper seasoning rather than a sad collection of raw vegetables.
Just sit down.
Seriously.
Give this five minutes and a napkin before you attempt it.
Mozzarella & Tomato Croissant – £4.50
There are certain foods you should probably stop pretending are compatible with dieting.
This is one of them.
The Mozzarella & Tomato Croissant costs £4.50 and is exactly the sort of thing that makes sense at 8:15 in the morning when you’re hungry enough to stop caring about your plans for the day. The croissants are at their most appealing when they’re fresh, and the combination of buttery pastry, mozzarella and tomato has a level of greasy satisfaction that a sensible breakfast simply can’t match.
The paper bag gives up almost immediately.
You can see the grease spreading through it, which should probably be a warning. Instead, it’s basically an invitation to keep eating.
The cheese makes the pastry heavier, while the tomato stops the whole thing becoming overwhelmingly rich. It isn’t delicate. It isn’t particularly virtuous. It’s salty, filling and unapologetically heavy.
Pair it with a bitter black Americano and you’ve got a breakfast that makes far more sense than it should. The coffee cuts through the richness, and suddenly the £4.50 doesn’t feel quite as offensive.
Until you remember what you’ve just eaten before 9am.
At 373 calories, it’s not catastrophic on paper, but the actual eating experience feels much heavier than that number suggests. This is the breakfast for when you need something substantial before a long commute or a morning shift.
Not for the person trying to start Monday with a clean slate.
Smoked Salmon & Egg Protein Pot – £4.40
No.
Four pounds forty for this is difficult to defend.
The Smoked Salmon & Egg Protein Pot contains spinach, sliced egg and a little bit of salmon, and at 136 calories it is undeniably light. That’s also the problem. You can practically watch the portion disappear.
Four bites.
Gone.
The first bite feels healthy. The second feels sensible. By the third, you’re wondering how something costing £4.40 has somehow become an appetiser. The fourth is over before you’ve properly decided whether you like it.
The ingredients themselves aren’t bad. Smoked salmon works with egg, spinach gives it some freshness, and the protein angle makes sense for someone who wants a small breakfast or snack without loading up on pastry.
But as lunch? Absolutely not.
You finish it feeling like you’ve been financially and nutritionally mugged. Then you start looking at the bakery display for something else, which defeats the whole point.
This is one of those Pret products where the calorie count looks impressive until you remember that you’re paying £4.40 for 136 calories.
If you’re genuinely after a small protein-rich snack, fine. If you’re hungry, keep walking.
Loaded Chocolate Chunk Banana Bread – £4.75
Three o’clock arrives and suddenly every email feels personally offensive.
That’s when the Loaded Chocolate Chunk Banana Bread starts making sense.
At £4.75 for a slice, it’s absurd. There’s no clever way to frame it. You’re paying nearly five quid for what is essentially a very large slab of banana bread, and once you look at the 560 calories, you realise you’ve just bought yourself a serious afternoon sugar bomb.
But sometimes that’s precisely the point.
This isn’t delicate banana bread that you nibble alongside a cup of tea. It’s dense, heavy and packed with chocolate chunks. The texture is closer to a brick than a fluffy cake, which sounds like criticism until you’re sitting at your desk at 3:07pm trying to finish the same email you’ve been staring at for twenty minutes.
One bite wakes you up.
Two bites and suddenly the spreadsheet doesn’t look quite so terrible.
The sweetness is intense enough that you don’t need anything else with it, although a black coffee helps stop the whole thing becoming too much. I wouldn’t pretend this is sensible. It isn’t.
It’s the emergency option.
The 3pm panic button.
At £4.75, I wouldn’t buy it casually. But if I’ve already had a disappointing lunch, I’m exhausted and I’ve got another three hours of work ahead, this is the sort of ridiculous purchase that somehow feels completely justified.
Sometimes you don’t need another salad.
You need the brick.
High-Street Alternatives
If you’re skipping Pret today but still need a quick coffee or a grab-and-go lunch, check the latest prices at these similar high-street spots:
Pret A Manger UK – Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a full lunch at Pret cost?
A realistic full Pret lunch is around £6–£8 for a sandwich, baguette or similar substantial option. If you’re trying to spend less, the Pole & Line Caught Tuna Half Baguette is £2.75, but it’s a smaller portion designed to tide you over rather than replace a big lunch.
What is the cheapest thing at Pret?
Fresh whole fruit starts at £1.00, making it the cheapest item in the menu data we’ve checked. Organic Filter Coffee is £1.50, while the Kids’ Humous Bowl is £1.90, although that’s obviously a children’s portion rather than an adult lunch.
What is the most expensive item at Pret?
The Miso Salmon Super Plate is the most expensive item we’ve covered at £14.95. That’s serious money for a takeaway lunch, although the 761-calorie portion is considerably more substantial than a small sandwich or snack.
How much are Pret hot baguettes?
Hot baguettes sit around the £6–£7 mark. The Chicken Caesar & Bacon Baguette, for example, costs £7.00, so hot food isn’t really the budget section of the menu anymore.
Are vegetarian and vegan options cheaper at Pret?
Not necessarily. The Posh Cheddar & Pickle Baguette costs £6.00 and contains 643 calories, while the vegan Falafel, Avo & Chipotle Flatbread is £6.15. Vegetarian or vegan doesn’t automatically mean cheaper or lighter.
Does Pret have cheap breakfast options?
Yes, the £1.50 Organic Filter Coffee is the obvious budget option if you only need breakfast caffeine. Pret also has food options such as the Mozzarella & Tomato Croissant at £4.50, but a proper breakfast can quickly push the bill higher.
What time does Pret stop serving breakfast?
Breakfast cut-off times can vary by location, so check the individual shop rather than assuming one UK-wide closing time. The menu and opening schedule aren’t identical everywhere.
Can you get oat or soya milk in Pret coffee?
Pret offers customisable drinks, including alternative milk choices such as oat and soya. If you’re watching the final cost, check the price at your particular shop before ordering because extras can vary.
Are Pret prices different in different locations?
Yes, prices can vary between locations, particularly in places such as airports and central London. That’s why a price seen in one Pret isn’t guaranteed to be identical at another branch.
Is Club Pret worth it for a casual visitor?
For a casual visitor, I’d skip it unless you’re buying Pret coffee regularly enough to make the subscription worthwhile. If you’re only popping in occasionally, paying for individual drinks makes more sense than committing to a coffee subscription you won’t use.
Is Pret food actually low calorie?
No, not across the board. The Miso Salmon Super Plate has 761 calories, the Posh Cheddar & Pickle Baguette has 643, and the Classic Super Club has 528, so Pret isn’t automatically a diet-friendly lunch just because much of the menu looks fresh.
What is the best cheap Pret lunch?
The Pole & Line Caught Tuna Half Baguette at £2.75 is the clear budget move from the prices we’ve covered. It’s small, but if you’re only trying to bridge the gap until dinner, spending £2.75 beats turning every Pret visit into a £7 habit.
The True Cost of a Pret Habit
If you came here wondering what a Pret lunch actually costs today, the answer is fairly blunt: £6 to £8 is the new normal for a proper sandwich or baguette. You can still beat that by choosing the £2.75 half-baguette, but once you’re adding a drink and snack, that cheap lunch has a habit of becoming expensive surprisingly quickly.
There’s also a location tax to remember. Expect prices to fluctuate by roughly 10p to £1.00 depending on whether you’re buying lunch at a Zone 1 central London station, an airport or a standard high-street shop. We keep checking this guide from time to time because high-street prices don’t sit still for long.
The Must Try has a few purchases I’d still make without too much complaining. Grab the £1.50 filter coffee when you just need caffeine, or spend the £7 on the Chicken Caesar & Bacon Baguette when it’s been one of those weeks. Pret is pricey, but knowing where the money is going makes it easier to budget.
What’s your usual Pret order? And if you’ve got a colleague who still complains about the price of their daily sandwich, send them this guide before their next lunch run.
