Specialties
Our chefs and our food are at the heart of everything we do. Duncan McKewan, Executive Chef, is constantly checking our kitchens of excellence and liaising with head chefs to ensure all our authentic dishes are the best. We use great fresh ingredients, traditional French kitchen cooking methods and classic Rouge recipes all day every day.
History
Established in 1989.
Café Rouge was launched in Richmond, London, in 1989 by Karen Jones and Roger Myers, foodies on a mission to recreate real French food and wine in a Parisienne bistro style setting. Rouge was also the fave hangout for Bridget and friends in ‘Bridget Jones’s Diary’, the novel that helped make us a household name. Today we continue to recreate core classics like Steak Frites, Poulet Breton, Moules and Confit de Canard as well as croques, salads and baguettes available to enjoy… with a gorgeous glass of French wine.
THE VENUE
Café Rouge is located in the old fire station, which has been transformed into a stunning bistro — offering a little slice of Paris in Haywards Heath. French doors open up onto the outdoor terrace, a lovely suntrap over the summer months. The restaurant also offers a gorgeous private dining room which can be booked free of charge, for large parties, celebrations or events. Book now and experience our fantastic menu with friends and family.
