British holidaymakers in Spain and Portugal who prefer home comforts will be able to opt for their usual office lunch as Pret a Manger announced plans to expand across the Iberian Peninsula.

The sandwich chain said that it has signed a deal with Ibersol Group to start selling Pret products in the two countries.

Ibersol is known in Spain, Portugal and Angola for running Pans & Company, Ribs, Santamaria and FrescCo, but it also operates franchises for Burger King, Pizza Hut, KFC and Taco Bell.

It has 600 sites across the countries. Around 70 Pret shops are expected to open in coming years as part of the deal.

It adds to recent plans for the chain to expand in the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland, Canada and the Middle East.
