We’ve loved every bite of mince pie, but now the festive season is well and truly over – it’s time to look to 2026. We’re very excited to introduce you to our new Executive Chef Zoe (and she's got big plans for Pret).
Hi, Zoe!
Zoe joins Pret with a love for simple food done brilliantly. Her favourite Pret baguette? The Italian Prosciutto Baguette... it’s proof that great ingredients, treated with care, really do say it all. Zoe brings deep experience (you might recognise her from Masterchef: The Professionals), fresh thinking and a real appetite for innovation. She’s passionate about building on strong foundations, experimenting with confidence and creating food that feels familiar – just with a little something extra.
So, what's happening in 2026?
Exciting. New. Launches. Chef Zoe’s been cooking up a storm in the Pret kitchen and we can’t wait for you to try her brand-new creations.
She's also calling a few early trends for 2026: pistachio isn’t going anywhere, breakfast is getting bigger (and better), and food on the go should always feel properly made. We’re proud to have Zoe in the Pret kitchen, and even more excited about what’s to come.
Here’s to familiar favourites, new ideas and a very tasty year ahead.
See you soon!
Your friends at Pret
