• New Giraffe restaurant opens today in London Heathrow Terminal 3
• 7^th site opened in partnership between TRGC and Boparan Restaurant Group 

TRGC, a leading UK travel hub hospitality operator, is pleased to announce the opening of Giraffe World Kitchen at London’s Heathrow Airport, in partnership with Boparan Restaurant Group. Offering 157 covers, the site brings Giraffe’s signature vibrant and eclectic dining experience to passengers in Terminal 3’s international departure lounge from 10^th April.

TRGC innovatively repurposed a former wagamama site for the second time, to create the perfect space for the exciting new Giraffe World Kitchen. Within the lively and welcoming restaurant, passengers can enjoy an extensive all-day menu serving up beloved international cuisine, from Asian street food to classic American burgers.

With a partnership spanning almost two decades, TRGC and Boparan have built upon their strong track record of development success in UK airports to launch their seventh site together and sixth Giraffe location.

The opening of Giraffe expands TRGC’s presence in Terminal 3 to three units, and provides a further opportunity to capitalise on the strong footfall and significant demand for high quality, casual dining experiences. It also demonstrates TRGC’s impressive pipeline of openings, having recently launched Sanfords at Luton airport, the most extensive restaurant within any UK airport.

Kirsten Pottinger, Commercial Director of TRGC, said:

“We are so incredibly proud of the long standing partnership with Boparan that affords us the opportunity to be agile in identifying travel hub spaces for the Giraffe brand and building at pace. Teams across both businesses have worked tirelessly to create yet another stunning Giraffe restaurant and compelling family-first menu. We are really excited about landing in T3!”

James Dodd, Head of Marketing at Boparan, said:

“Boparan Restaurant Group is thrilled to announce the opening of Giraffe World Kitchen in Heathrow Terminal 3 on April 10th, marking our second Giraffe location at Heathrow alongside T5. This expansion reflects our long-standing partnership with TRG and our shared commitment to delivering vibrant, global flavours to travellers. With this latest addition, Giraffe now boasts six airport locations across the UK and 15 globally, reinforcing our position as a top Family Casual, go-to dining destination for world explorers.”

Fraser Brown, Retail Director at Heathrow, said:

“Alongside our partners, Heathrow is continuously enhancing our retail offering to ensure that every passenger’s journey gets off to a great start. Building on the success and popularity of TRGC’s Giraffe restaurant in Terminal 5, we are excited to offer passengers travelling through Terminal 3 another vibrant, family-friendly dining option, just in time for the summer.”
