The Greggs store in Street is offering free hot drinks to emergency service, social and health workers.

The outlet in Street High Street is offering all emergency service personnel and health and social care workers free hot drinks on presentation of their work pass.

Roger Whiteside, CEO of Greggs, said: "They are doing an amazing job, and this is the least we can do to support them.

"Our shops will remain trading for as long as we're able to keep them open. However, we need to temporarily change the way we do things, to create a place where our customers and colleagues feel comfortable and safe with minimal contact.

"So, from today (March 19) we will be introducing the following changes. Closing all of our seating areas and offering a takeaway service only.

"Closing our customer toilets to allow our shop teams to focus on keeping the shop clean and safe.

"Moving all items from our condiment units including milk jugs, sugar sachets, cutlery, hot drinks stirrers and napkins to behind the counter. Our teams will be happy to pass these to you on request.

"Closing our water refill stations and not accepting reusable cups. Encouraging our customers to pay contactless and to respect each other's personal space while waiting to be served.

"We recognise that these changes will make shopping with us more inconvenient and we're sorry about that, but keeping our customers and colleagues as safe as possible must come first."
