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.”

The full list of 125 ‘everyday essentials’ you’ll soon be able to get for cheaper in the UK
Emily Sergeant
Crisps, biscuits, avocado, and chewing gum are just a few of the items that are soon set to be available for cheaper in the UK.
First announced by Chancellor Rachel Reeves last week, the Government has now published a list of more than 100 of key items that are set to see targeted cuts to tariffs, alongside uprating mileage rates for the first time in 15 years and reducing VAT.
It covers a wide range of ‘everyday essentials’ – from fresh fruit and vegetables, oil and baked goods, to chocolate, sauces, and soft drinks.
“The war in Iran isn’t our war, but one we will need to respond to,” Chancellor Reeves commented.
“My priority is keeping prices down for households and businesses. That’s why we’re freezing fuel duty, increasing the mileage rate for the first time in 15 years and slashed VAT temporarily this summer to help reduce the cost of days out.”

The Government says these cuts support the action it has already taken to reduce the cost of living – including freezing prescription charges, protecting motorists from fuel duty increases, and raising the minimum wage.
The list of everyday essentials set to see targeted cuts to tariffs comes after the Great British Summer Savings initiative was announced last week.
This means that, from 25 June through to 1 September 2026, a temporary reduced rate of VAT – down from 20% to 5% – will be introduced on children’s meals in restaurants and family leisure activities over the summer period.
