A classic Italian coffee house, serving fresh baguettes and speciality breads, paninis and pastries, all freshly prepared each day by an on-site team.

Paul
Elior runs Paul's growing roster of airport and railway concessions on a franchise basis. Artisan bakers with years of training use recipes for bread, viennoiserie and patisseries that have been handed down through the Paul family for over one hundred years. The Paul shops give the impression of a rustic village bakery - all brick, beams and baskets. Each one is a little piece of France, sharing its passion for coffee and good food with customers from all over the world.

We serve Costa Coffee to Costa’s high standards using their branded crockery and consumables. Elior specifies menu and complimentary food, such as pastries and paninis, along with accompanying drinks.

Illy Espressemente has selected to work exclusively with just one Contract Caterer in the UK – making ours an exclusive and valued partnership.
Concepts
Chefs Forum
The Forum of highly skilled, selected chefs from across the business were initially chosen to research and develop a range of sandwiches – both ‘core’ and premium. With over 90% of our sites making sandwiches in-house, it was an important and natural step to enable all of our Chefs to produce them to maintain our high standards across the business.
The Forum has continued researching and developing easy to use ‘Step-by-Step’ manuals of the best recipes now encompassing Grab & Go and Baguette ranges. Each manual contains details on ingredients, recipe costings, packaging and point of sale materials, while StarChef software enables the ranges to be continually updated – meaning that Chefs Forum range will never be out of date.
Chu
Our culinary and marketing teams have partnered to deliver a brand new street food concept with simple back of house recipes and fantastic branded front of house support to deliver a menu that meets the tastes of a very wide audience. Keeping the lunchtime spend on site means our clients need dishes that will inspire customers, will offer them great value and a great lunchtime experience. We created Chu to take the best bits of the leading high street chains and bring them to life in the employee restaurant, to offer consistency, atmosphere and increased footfall.
