Regents College Brasserie and Deli

Regent’s College is one of the UK’s most

respected private colleges located in the

heart of Central London offering first

class university facilities for students and

conference clients from all over the world.

The existing coffee bar based within a

listed part of the building was dated and

underutilised. Ferro Design Ltd was set a

challenge by the client to pull together

a design that was contemporary yet

sympathetic, with the listed surroundings

as well as being operationally sound for the

caterers to run a successful commercial

business from. The new facility operates

as a successful coffee bar/drinks bar as

well as operating a call order brasserie

service.

Ferro Design recommended Martek to

undertake the specialist joinery elements

of the project as attention to detail was

key to the projects success as well as

making sure that the interface between

equipment, counters and services was at

the forefront of the design detail.

Due to the existing ceiling height and the

restrictions on fixing anything to the listed

panelling, a bulkhead was cantilevered

off of the counter to give a more cohesive

commercial appearance. Wood grain

laminates and Avonite worktops added

a practical yet quality feel to the project

whilst remaining in keeping with the

surroundings.

The Brasserie opened to visitors,

academics and staff in 2007 and has been

hailed a great success from a popularity and commercial perspective by out performing projected business models.

Following the successful fit out of the Brasserie, we were asked to install a new deli/retail shop which was to be created from a section of the existing restaurant that housed a series of seating booths.

Again Ferro Design were asked to come up with a design solution to fit a narrow

space that incorporated a deli, food preparation area, self help coffee and grab and go retail items. This created an additional food outlet that could operate all day, was convenient for the academics and increased revenue and opportunity for the college.

Martek were engaged to manufacture the specialist joinery elements of the project as well as supply the catering equipment.
