Overall you can eat at Pret a Manger as a vegan, however their vegan options aren’t very impressive curre — strike that as of late 2021 they announced many many new vegan items, making them an EXTREMELY vegan-friendly place.
Unfortunately unlike their American counterparts you can’t build-your-own sandwich at Pret a Manger due to the sandwiches generally not be prepared on-site at pret a manger. They use local kitchens/cooks nearby to service many stores rather than kitchens in each location, and thus you cannot build-your-own sandwich.
Vegan Sandwiches & Wraps at Pret a Manger:
- Avocado, Olives & Toms Sub Sandwich
- Smokey Carrot & Falafel Sandwich
- Smashed Avocado on Gluten-Free Bread
- Hummous & Chipotle Wrap

- Falafel Avocado & Chipotle Flat Bread Wrap
Unfortunately these are generally the only vegan-friendly sandwich Pret a Manger offers due to them lacking the ability for you to build-your-own sandwich. They have plenty of non-sandwich options that are vegan though, and honestly what else do you need than some avocado in some bread, or some falafel and veg in a loaf of bread?

All you have to do is order them with either Rice, Coconut, Soy, or Almond milk, and it’ll be vegan-friendly. Not every Pret location may have all those vegan-friendly creamer/milk options, but they should have at least a couple of them, so don’t worry about that. They always have a vegan-friendly milk option.
