Café Rouge is to offer free tea and coffee to customers throughout January in two of their Sussex restaurants.

The restaurant chain is offering the “no-strings-attached” deal to customers throughout the month to encourage people to use the space as somewhere to relax.

Customers can enjoy a free tea or americano coffee in Café Rouge sites across the country, with the Brighton Marina and Haywards Heath stores among the participating restaurants.

Tom Patrick, Head of Marketing at Café Rouge, said: “We know that January tends to be a difficult month, both emotionally and financially, for people following the holidays, even more so this year with the cost-of-living crisis impacting people across the country.

“We wanted to introduce this offer to welcome guests who are feeling blue to visit one of our warm and friendly venues to relax and enjoy themselves. Our teams are really excited about this initiative and cannot wait to greet both new and familiar faces visiting our sites with a warm welcome.”

The deal is available to customers dining in at the restaurant who are entitled to one free drink per person.

Free tea and coffee is available from 11.30am to 4.30pm from Monday to Friday throughout the month.
