Alternative Ways To File A Complaint Against Pret A Manger

If you have already contacted Pret's customer service team and filed a complaint, but your issue is still not resolved, you may need to complain to an ombudsman. It is your right, as a consumer, according to Citizen's Advice. Ombudsmen are independent, free and impartial.

First, you'll have to make a formal complaint to Pret, in writing. Before an ombudsman helps, you must take all the necessary steps to try to resolve the issue on your own. Next, if you are unhappy with Pret's response, you should ask for a "letter of deadlock," which will confirm that Pret hasn't resolved your issue. If an ombudsman agrees to step in to help, evidence from both sides will be considered—and this can be a long process.
