The Concept
North End Design were largely given creative freedom with this project in an effort to bring the interior of this pub to its rich cultural heritage and former Victorian glory. Much of the interior of the pub, particularly the downstairs bar area, has been modified with only a light touch in order to keep the heritage, focusing on a restoration of what it once was, rather than a complete change of design.
The first floor of the venue has been entirely redeveloped, featuring a small room with a showcase of English sparkling wine, the large central dining room lined with bay windows, and a 20-person private dining room starring a grand Victorian fireplace from the original building. A quirky feature of the cosy pub is the ‘staircase to no-where’, that has been cut off before reaching a higher level.
