Asda Reinstates £1 ‘Winter Warmer’ Meals for Over-60s in 212 Cafés From Nov. 1 to Feb. 28

The initiative targets rising costs for older shoppers by providing a low-cost hot meal in a social café setting.

Overview

  • Eligible customers aged 60 and over can get soup with bread and unlimited tea or coffee for £1 in participating cafés.
  • Drinks upgrades are available, with a small latte, cappuccino or speciality tea for an extra 55p, or a medium for £1.10.
  • Asda cites more than half a million £1 meals served last winter as evidence of strong demand for the programme.
  • Community Champions are inviting local over-60s groups to use the cafés as a place to meet and chat during the colder months.
  • Asda is separately rolling out Evri ParcelShops across its estate, with services already in 300+ locations and completion planned in all 1,200 stores by April 2026.
