Pret a Manger has announced it will be offering free hot drinks and a big discount for all NHS workers from today.

It comes as the health service faces growing pressure from coronavirus.

In a tweet the cafe chain 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."

Pret has three cafes in Oxford; Cornmarket Street, the Westgate Centre and inside the John Radcliffe Hospital.

There is also a Pret a Manger in Bicester Village.
