TRG Concessions, one of the UK’s leading travel hospitality operators, is pleased to announce a strategic development agreement with Jones the Grocer, the artisan café, bakery, patisserie, gourmet grocer, deli and cheese monger headquartered in Dubai.
This exclusive partnership won one of the largest concession awards at London’s Heathrow Airport which will see two venues, Jones the Grocer and Jones the Grocer Express, open in Terminal 2 in 2023. The Jones the Grocer site, with over 170 covers, will be its largest airport store in the world and the first in the UK.
Comprising over 5,900sq ft in Terminal 2’s international departure lounge, Jones the Grocer will showcase culinary theatre in a food hall style development to create a truly immersive dining experience. A bar will serve craft beers, wine and cocktails alongside artisan cheese and meat boards as well as sharing plates. Chefs will cook Jones the Grocer’s modern, globally influenced, laidback food for breakfast, lunch and dinner in a live grill and kitchen. An island bao bar will steam and simmer an array of savoury buns and noodle bowls. An Italian pizza oven and pasta bar will treat travellers to hand-thrown pizzas and freshly tossed pasta.
Jones the Grocer Express, located immediately in front of Jones the Grocer, is a grab-and-go concept aimed at the hurried traveller looking for good quick-serve artisan food. This venue will offer pastries, pies, sandwiches, wraps, soups and freshly tossed salads. Expert baristas will pour fantastic flat whites along with smoothies, leaf teas, and a selection of hot and cold drinks. Travellers will have the opportunity to savour artisan cheese toasties and shop from a selection of Jones the Grocer’s grab-and-go retail.
