The charming and relaxing venues provide the perfect setting to enjoy a break or a meal, from breakfast through to lunch, to afternoon tea and pre-dinner cocktails.
Centenary Lounge use innovative and contemporary thinking to create in-depth analysis of locations. We are able to advise on the above and provide bespoke solutions, offering our franchisees options such as a hybrid version or any other relevant arrangement to fit their circumstances.
The First Class Lounge
Circa 80 seats – From £239,000
A ‘High Street’ version, aka ‘The First-Class Lounge’, with a fuller menu, licensed and with generous seating with table service; 1,500 sq. ft.
Centenary Lounge has largely taken the technical aspect of cooking out of the process, so whilst a fully trained chef is not necessary, some of the dishes offered would need someone who is capable of producing quality food, which would be beautifully presented.
