Compass opens first public café

Compass Group UK & Ireland has launched the first open-to-all site of its Caffé Dallucci brand, at Solent Business Park in Fareham.

Steve Lovegrove, the group’s Head of Business Excellence, commented: “Opening our first public-facing Caffé Dallucci is an exciting journey to embark upon. The brand has been really well received at our client sites, so we are looking forward to seeing the results from the new public-facing café. This marks a new chapter for the brand with indicators showing great reception from consumers.”

Compass first launched the brand at its Chertsey headquarters in 2015, bringing it over from the Germany business where it had met with considerable success. The concept was developed by the marketing team, enabling Compass to showcase how it can transform an in-house catering experience.

Focusing on providing fresh food and good coffee, the brand will now test public reception, having already been launched at a number of client sites.
The new Caffé Dallucci will be open from 07:30 to 16:00 throughout the working week, catering for employees and visitors at Solent Business Park.
