Morrisons made the announcement in order to “help customers stay warm throughout the colder months.”

Unlimited free refills will be available across all its self-serve hot drinks including fruit teas, lattes, cappuccinos and hot chocolates.

The supermarket giant has a wide range of beverages available to warm the body and soul starting from just £1.85.

Those looking to complement their hot drink with a sweet treat can also do so for just £4.

Morrisons offers a range of desserts including Victoria sponge cake and Sicilian lemon muffins.

The chain’s cafés also offer affordable breakfast, lunch and dinner options.

For example, breakfast sandwiches and a hot drink cost just £4.25 while an adult sandwich meal deal is £6.50.

Plus, kids eat free every day, seven days a week when customers purchase an adult meal costing £5 or over, available for any child aged under 16 in Morrisons Cafés nationwide.

Main meals can be found on the menu under ‘The Breakfasts’, ‘The Classics’ or the ’Chippy’ – ‘Extras’ are not included.

Customers can receive one free kids meal from the kids menu that includes favourites like Chicken Nuggets, Chips and Beans, Bangers and Mash or Mac ‘n’ Cheese – which would usually be £3.50 each.

The offer is also available on the Kids Pick n Mix meal deal from the fridge.

Children must be under the age of 16 and with an adult at the time of purchase.

Becky Wilson, Morrisons Café Buyer, said: “We are always looking for ways to give our customers more reasons to visit our Cafés – and the Winter Refills Allowance does just that.

“As well as the quality food at affordable prices, our Cafés are a space for communities to connect, work or relax, and they can now do so over a warm mug of their choosing.”

Morrisons is not alone in providing unlimited free refills on its hot drinks, however.

Pub chain Wetherspoons, for example, provides bottomless top ups on its wide range of hot drinks, starting at just £1.56.

Other ways to get free hot drinks

There are also other ways to nab free hot drinks this winter.

Greggs: Download the bakery chain’s app and sign up to its loyalty scheme for the first time to get a free hot drink.

The offer includes tea, coffee and hot chocolate.

You’ll be able to collect loyalty stamps through the app, too, which add up to freebies.

Octopus energy customers can also get a complimentary hot drink every week at Greggs by signing up to the Octoplus section on the power provider’s app.

Group deals: Last winter, select Asda cafes provided a “community cuppa” initiative which gave community groups a space to meet and have a free hot drink.

If the scheme starts up again this year, you could grab yourself a free cup of warmth.

Similarly, Hungry Horse hosted “Communi-tea Cuppas” events at pubs across the country throughout last winter to combat loneliness in adults.

Each guest attending could get a free cup of Yorkshire Tea.

Keep an eye out in case these resume this year.

IKEA: Pop into the homeware giant ­during the week to get a free cup of tea or filter coffee with one of the store’s loyalty card.

It costs nothing to sign up to Ikea Family and you can join at ikea.com or in store.

As well as free drinks, you will get discounts and access to events.

Waitrose: You can also bag a free hot drink at Waitrose if you’re a MyWaitrose member when you make a purchase instore and if you bring your own reusable cup.

Get a tea, coffee, cappuccino or latte with the deal.

And the purchase need not cost a lot – buy a piece of fruit or a cheap chocolate bar.

However, the free drink can only be redeemed from self serve machines located in store, not from the café. Sign up at waitrose.com.

Loyalty pays: If you’re a ­regular customer at big drinks chains Starbucks, Costa Coffee and Caffe Nero, sign up to their respective loyalty scheme.

They give a free drink after a certain number of purchases — usually around nine or ten.
