Stunning new Caf? Bar to open at Squire?s in Shepperton

by | Aug 23, 2017 | News | 0 comments

Squire?s Garden Centre in Shepperton has unveiled exciting plans to open a stunning new Caf? Bar in early October.

It will have new Raffles style d?cor, flooring, seating and lighting. There will be distinct seating areas to choose from including the main Caf? Bar, a sophisticated afternoon tea area with piano, a coffee lounge with relaxing sofas, plus a special family-friendly area. There?ll be a delicious new menu and a new style of service – where customers order at the till then take an electronic tracker to their table, enabling them to relax and enjoy speedy waiter service.

Sarah Squire, Deputy Chairman at Squire?s said:??We are all really excited with the plans for our stunning new Caf? Bar in Shepperton. The design theme is called ?Vibrant?, which is one of three horticulture inspired concepts that we are rolling out to all our garden centres over the next few years. Inspiration comes from a sophisticated bygone era; think of Raffles and South East Asia. There will be lots of glass to let light in, botanical print wallpaper, tropical garden fabrics and wall art, painted furniture, glass pendant lighting, black and white checkered flooring and painted wooden shutters. The decision to make this investment was in part driven by customer feedback, both in-store and from our bi-annual customer survey. Our same team of friendly staff will run the new Caf? Bar, and they are all very excited about the plans, and can?t wait to welcome customers in early October.?

The work to update Squire?s Caf? Bar starts on 4?September, but it will remain open while the works take place.

Squire?s are inviting everyone to come along to a special ?Prepare For Christmas? shopping evening on Friday 20?October, where you will be able to see the stunning new Caf? Bar, enjoy a curry buffet, preview the Christmas shop and enjoy exclusive discounts on the night. There?s no need to book, simply come along to Squire?s in Shepperton on Friday 20?October between 5-8pm. There will also be live music and Christmas planting and craft demonstrations to get you into the festive mood!
