The new outlet is Pret’s third in Oxford and will feature its full menu, with 80 spaces for hospital visitors, outpatients and staff to enjoy.
A spokesperson for Pret said: “Our focus on fresh, quality food has been a fundamental part of the Pret recipe since our first shop opened nearly 30 years ago, and we are pleased to be able to offer this within a hospital for the first time.
“The new shop menu will offer a wide range of nutritious salads, sandwiches and wraps, through to hearty hot food, and the occasional pick-me-up treat. As with our existing shops, we’re proud to have a large on-site kitchen in our premises at the John Radcliffe, which will enable us to deliver the highest quality products with the fast and friendly service that Pret is known for.”
The new offering is a result of support services provider Carillion, who has provided facilities management and maintenance services to the hospital Trust since 2005.
Lynn Carpenter, from Carillion’s Catering Centre of Excellence, said: “Pret’s healthy and fresh offer using natural ingredients ensures that outpatients, staff and visitors to the hospital are provided with a wholesome and nutritional offer in a modern and welcoming environment.”
