Morrisons has announced that it’ll be offering unlimited free refills on hot drinks at all of its cafes during the colder months.
With the country starting to fully embrace everything autumn has to offer, supermarket shelves quickly filling up with festive food and gifts, and the temperatures soon to be dropping by the day, Morrisons wants its in-store cafes to be place of warmth and comfort for anyone who needs it, which is why the retailer’s announced a ‘Winter Refills Allowance’.
Unlimited free refills will be available on all self-serve hot drinks all year round.
The offer includes everything from lattes and cappuccinos for caffeine-lovers needing an extra boost, to fruit teas and creamy hot chocolates for those with a sweeter tooth.
There are more than 400 cafes inside Morrisons stores across the UK, and all of them will be offering a wide range of hot drinks to “warm the body and soul” all winter long – with prices starting from as little as £1.85.

You can even grab a hearty breakfast, lunch, or dinner while you’re there too, with breakfast butties, and adult sandwich meal deals from £4.25, and kids also eating free seven days a week when you buy and adult meal for £5 or over.
“We are always looking for ways to give our customers more reasons to visit our cafes,” explained Becky Wilson, who is the Morrisons Cafe Buyer.
“The Winter Refills Allowance does just that. As well as the quality food at affordable prices, our cafes are a space for communities to connect, work or relax, and they can now do so over a warm mug of their choosing.”

One of Manchester’s biggest vintage shops to close after a decade
Daisy Jackson
One of the biggest and best vintage shops in Manchester has announced its imminent closure.
Thrift Shop, which is part of the legendary Cow Vintage family, has said that the landlord of its store has ‘chosen not to renew our lease’.
The beloved vintage shop has been in its spot just off Piccadilly Gardens for a decade, with colourful rails stuffed with pre-loved denim, coats, dresses, accessories, and more.
Ahead of its closure this week, Thrift Shop has announced details of a major closing down sale, aiming to get rid of all its stock.
Initially touted as two for £10 on all thrift items, they’ve now slashed prices even further and are offering three items for £10.
That does exclude their ‘premium’ items, where you can snap up big labels like Carhartt and Levi’s.
Sharing the sad news of its closure online, Thrift Shop Manchester wrote: “We are gutted to announce the closure of beloved Manchester store.
Thrift Shop Manchester is throwing a huge closing down sale
“Last week we found out our landlord chose not to renew our lease after over ten years in this unit.
“To bid our farewell, we’re doing a MASSIVE closing down sale to get rid of all stock !!!! All Thrift items will be 2 for £10 until our last trading day on 30th May!!
“We’ve absolutely loved serving you for all these years, so long, farewell and, as always, get thrifty.”
In the comments, fellow independent retailer Thunder Egg – which just had to move out of its Oldham Street store (but is still in Afflecks) – commented: “So sorry to hear this, retail landlords in Manchester are absolutely in their sh*tbag era right now.”
Thrift Shop Manchester will close for good on Saturday 30 May.
