The Red Hen logo

Red Hen was a self-branded sit-in waitress restaurant available at all Welcome Breaks. It was created after Granada owned Welcome Break, and provided all their services with Little Chef and Travelodge. However, when Welcome Break were sold in 1996 they were forced to create their own alternatives, hence Welcome Lodge and Red Hen.

In 2004 all the Red Hens became Coffee Primo Lounges.
