Banana Tree is set to open its first establishment in West Sussex

31 May 2023

Banana Tree, which is renowned for its exotic street-food inspired dishes, is opening on the site of the former Cafe Rouge in The Broadway in early June.

Big Table Group, the company behind Las Iguanas and Bella Italia, have confirmed that the team from Rouge have moved over to Banana Tree, adding that the site has created ten new jobs.

Banana Tree’s managing director Anne Chow said: “It’s really exciting to be bringing the flavours of Banana Tree to a new community. Whether you want to tuck into a Pan-Asian feast, or enjoy 2-4-1 cocktails with friends or just enjoy some light bites, we’ve got something for everyone, and we can’t wait for Haywards Heath to try it for themselves.”

The new Haywards Heath restaurant will feature 146 covers and offers a relaxed environment with private seating areas for group bookings. There will be a private dining room on the first floor.
