When did the makeover take place?
We refreshed the space gradually throughout 2024, making sure we stayed open and welcoming along the way. The final touch came in January 2025, when we introduced stylish new tables and chairs to complete the look.
 

What was involved?
We started by trimming down the full-height metal screening in the centre of the restaurant to create a more open, welcoming feel. To soften the look, we added oak wood overlays to the metalwork and upgraded the internal panels.

Next came acoustic panelling, which was added to the ceiling in the central area and above the bench seating, to help create a calmer, more comfortable atmosphere.

We gave the whole space a fresh new look with soft pastel colours, new wall and pendant lighting, and upgraded all the general lighting with energy-efficient LEDs.

Finally, the servery got its own makeover, complete with smart new top-level displays to finish things off nicely.
 

Reason for the revamp?
The main goal was to give the space a fresh update while softening the overall look. Originally, the restaurant had a more industrial feel — the refurbishment allowed us to introduce warmer materials and a more inviting, relaxed atmosphere, all while keeping things modern and stylish.
 

Any changes to the menu?
Our menu is always evolving with the seasons, and we love keeping things fresh with a daily specials board. Right now, we’re serving up something extra special to celebrate Wimbledon — our exclusive Wimbledon offer includes a delicious plain scone with clotted cream and fresh strawberries for only £6.25 per person. It’s the perfect way to enjoy great food while unwinding from all the action!
