Wed 6th Aug 2014 - Café Rouge opens express site with first rotisserie and shop Café Rouge opens express site with first rotisserie and shop: Tragus Group’s Café Rouge brand is building on the success of its ‘express’ site at Euston station with an opening at Victoria Place, next to Victoria train station, serving rotisserie chicken and providing a chance to shop . It is aimed at commuters using the transport hub with a focus on takeaway items, including fresh pastries, baguettes and croques. There will also be a rotisserie, available for the first time at a Café Rouge site, with freshly roasted chicken for guests to dine in and enjoy or to take home. To appeal to those customers keen to work while they eat, Café Rouge has installed a large communal table fitted with power points, for anyone who fancies a glass of wine or bar food while they do some after work emailing – with free Wi-Fi available too. Furthermore, as a one-off for Victoria Place, Café Rouge is launching a new shop full of French treats for customers to buy and enjoy in their comfort of their home. Items available include French Dijon sauce pots, olive oil, wine and champagne, craft beer, Café Rouge coffee bricks and hot chocolate tins, as well as bread boards and copper pans. Edyta Pytel, general manager at Café Rouge Victoria Place, said: “Victoria Place is right in the middle of a transport hub, with tourists, local residents, local employees, commuters, shoppers and the pre-theatre crowd passing through – a huge potential audience, and this has encouraged us to create something a little different for our new site. We wanted to provide more of a grab and go offering for the thousands of people who visit Victoria every day but may not have time to stop for a meal, while our shop is a completely new venture for us and one we feel will prove popular with those looking to create a French feast at home, or pick up a quick gift.”
