Supermarket to Bring Back £1 Meal Deal for over-60s

Asda offers over-60s soup, bread, and unlimited tea or coffee for £1 in 212 UK cafes to ease financial pressures and reduce loneliness, serving over 500,000 meals last winter.

  • On Saturday, November 1, 2025, Asda relaunches its 1 Winter Warmer meal deal in 212 cafés, running until February 28, 2026, offering soup, bread, and unlimited tea or coffee.
  • Asda says the scheme aims to ease cost-of-living pressures and tackle loneliness among people aged 60 and over, while Asda's Community Champions invite local over-60s groups to use cafés as social spaces.
  • Last year Asda served over half a million meals, and its Christmas Community Tracker found one in ten over-60s unsure they'd speak to anyone between December 15 and January 1.
  • Anyone aged 60 or over can claim the deal by showing proof of age at the café till, and it is available daily in participating Asda cafés.
  • Asda expects the relaunch will remain impactful across the winter months and offer a relaxed social environment, while Jordan Cummings, Buying Manager, Cafés and Concessions at Asda, warned winter will be incredibly hard for thousands of pensioners facing rising living costs.
