Pret A Manger are showing their support to the Licensed a Taxi trade, by giving drivers free tea and coffee.
All you have to do is show them your badge and tell them if you want tea of coffee.
Well done to this fantastic company.
I recently discovered that Pret distribute unsold produce nightly to the homeless. Its such a wonderful sight to see these acts of kindness, as their van pulls up and Pret staff give out food to unfortunate people sleeping in doorways around the West End.
Pret A Manger has opened its first proper evening restaurant
Welcome to ‘Good Evenings’ aka the first Pret restaurant. So far they’ve only soft-launched it at the 88 Strand branch where they will be monitoring the progress before considering rolling it out to other branches. Normal sandwich shop by day, after 6pm the lights are dimmed, candles lit and tables laid with real cutlery ready for the evening service.

We will soon be Queing up at the soup van for Free soup at Lincoln's inn fields .. Just got a letter from london taxi company about new taxi costing 42 grand , couldn't stop laughing .. With 1400 new uber drivers a month the new black cab isn't called. Style. Or elagance , new name for it must be white elephant ...
Ok all cab drivers stop going to your little local tax paying caffe and having tea or coffee , and screw the little buisnisman , the big tax dodging american prat a manger will give you a free coffee until all the little independent cafés. Close down , We taxi drivers are a selfish gullible lot ..
