Scottish Beer & Pub Association launches new voluntary code for tied pub

England and Wales doesn’t necessarily suit the industry in Scotland.

The Scottish Beer and Pub Association (SBPA) has today welcomed a new Code of Practice for tied tenants in Scotland, enshrining protections for pubs across the country, which will come into effect at the same time as the English & Welsh Statutory Code. The Scottish code will serve as a binding code of practice for pubowning businesses, with protections for tied pub tenants and continued access to low-cost dispute resolution procedures. Commenting, SBPA Chief Executive Brigid Simmonds said: “This Code is a landmark for Scottish tied pubs, setting out protections for tenants, and is the first designed specifically for Scotland. “The pub sector in Scotland is hugely different to the rest of the UK. What works for pubs in

“This code takes into account the unique nature of the Scottish tied pub trade, providing the best balance of what works for pubs in Scotland, whilst also protecting much needed investment in both the pub sector and local economies across the country. “The Code also allows Scottish tenants access to independent, low-cost resolution procedures for rent, through PIRRS, and for other issues through PICA-Service, both of which have Scottish-specific expert representation. “The tied pub sector, whilst only making up a small percentage of Scottish pubs, is a fantastic opportunity for self-employed entrepreneurs to get a low cost means of entry into business ownership. The industry also serves as a major employer of the nation’s young people, offering lifelong career opportunities in a vibrant sector that is vital to Scotland’s larger economy.

Wine is fashion and Franciacorta is in

Pinot Grigio: 609,000 hl (+1%); £420m (-1%) Chardonnay: 601,000 hl (-2%); £419m (-2%)

In the 1990’s it was Australian wine and particularly Chardonnay that was very much in vogue. This grape variety was loved by every wine drinker and brought a new phenomenon to wine marketing – the female wine shopper.

And that leads to the most recent of fashion statements that has taken the wine world by storm – Prosecco.

In the noughties A.B.C. (Anything But Chardonnay) took hold and Chardonnay gave way to Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Grigio. The statistics for the off-trade below show the continued popularity of the different grapes below. Sauvignon Blanc: 826,000 hl (+9%); £661m (+9%)

Just five years ago Prosecco was a little known sparkling wine from Italy, which didn’t warrant space on many lists apart from traditional Italian restaurants who had insight and knew what was on offer. In 2010 a law was brought in by the local Venetian authorities to de-limit the region’s production and the grape from which it is produced – Glera. The variety was formerly known as Prosecco and took its name from the small town near Trieste.

North Kent College host “The Ashes Cooking Challenge” NKC cooked up a storm last week at “The Ashes Cooking Challenge”. A competition against MidKent College and held at the Gravesend campus. It was a cook off between three students from North Kent College and three students from MidKent College. Professional Level 3 Cookery students cooked a variety of dishes which were then critiqued by two judges from local businesses based in Gravesend, Brasserie 32 and The Clarendon Royal Hotel who both have chef backgrounds and hold a vast knowledge in cooking. The competition standards were set extremely high and both teams created some exceptional dishes competing for the coveted Ashes title and plaque. Both teams were very professional throughout the highly pressurised challenge and cooked up three courses with two portions of each having to be created in a just a two-hour window. Setting up “The Ashes” catering competition built great relationships between North Kent and Mid Kent catering areas. It has allowed both establishments to share best practice and set high standards for their students. It has allowed the students to exchange their skills through the complexity of their creations and learn life skills such as team sprit with both teams showing incredible sportsmanship throughout. Judge Andrew, from the Brasserie 32 restaurant commented, ‘I was extremely impressed in the high standard of food. Students cooked to an exceptional standard both presentation and taste wise and their passion shone through in a highly pressurised situation working within a short time frame’. Executive Head Chef at the Clarendon Royal Hotel also commented, ‘it was incredible to see how students pushed themselves beyond their comfort zones and I myself thoroughly enjoyed the process, both colleges were commendable in their efforts and we must bear in mind their age and how well they took our harsh yet constructive criticism!’ This practical exercise prepares learners for the world of work and it was great having industry professionals giving student’s tips and advice that further prepares them for working environments.

St. Pete / Clearwater

the World Of Hospitality

2,000 New Hotel Rooms In St. Pete / Clearwater By 2017! Opal Sands Resort and Treasure Island Beach Resort just opened in the sunshine record-holding destination St. Pete/Clearwater, the sun-drenched peninsula on Florida’s Gulf Coast, has responded to growing tourism demands by adding an array of luxury and boutique hotels to its 35-mile stretch of awardwinning white sandy beaches. Opal Sands Resort and Treasure Island Beach Resort (opened in February and March this year) have kicked off the transformation of the area with four others already under construction. The developments will add over 2,000 new hotel rooms to the destination, visited by around 50,000 Brits every year. The Opal Sands Resort is the only hotel on Clearwater Beach that offers panoramic views of the Gulf of Mexico and spectacular sunsets from every room. Each of the 230 rooms, curving along the white sandy coastline, has floor-to-ceiling windows and large balconies. Positioned on the lively promenade, the resort is in prime location and is the newest addition to the well-sought after beach strip. The hotel offers numerous dining options including a sandbar, pool bar and a fresh seafood restaurant, and is in walking distance from the many restaurants and bars in Clearwater. Guests can enjoy the Gulf-front

outdoor pool and hot tub or take refuge from the sun in a private cabana. The resort offers a full service spa with direct access onto the beach and is within walking distance from the family-friendly Pier 60, known for its arts and crafts, fishing, shopping and nightly sunset celebrations. Clearwater Marina nearby offers sunset sailing cruises, deep sea fishing expeditions and dolphin encounters. Treasure Island Beach Resort, opened on 5 March 2016, boasts 77 luxurious rooms and combines beachfront luxury with the charming ambience of Treasure Island. The first property to be built on Treasure Island beach for almost a decade, it has an outdoor beachfront pool and sundeck overlooking the three-mile beach beyond. There are restaurants, shops and bars in walking distance or the signature BRGR Restaurant and Bar located on site. The two new properties are part of a rapidly evolving accommodation offering in St. Pete/Clearwater. In February this year, the sister property of the famous Loews Don CeSar, Beach House Suites, opened on St. Pete beach after a full remodelling. Another stalwart of St. Pete Beach, Postcard Inn on the Beach, has also

had a multimillion dollar facelift, finished in the past month. When it is completed in 2017, the Wyndham Grand Resort will become Clearwater’s largest property with 450 rooms, while Allure Suites Hotel-Beachfront Resort, also opening next year, will offer 66 spacious condo units on the beach. When it opened near St. Pete Beach in 2014, the Hotel Zamora was the first property to be built in the area in 30 years and has recently been welcomed into the prominent Kimpton hotel group. The Kimpton Hotel Zamora will delight guests with its Moroccan-inspired décor, in-room yoga mats and a hosted evening wine hour. With an average of 361 days of sunshine each year and a Guinness World Record for the most consecutive days of sunshine (768), St. Pete/Clearwater is far from the Florida of theme parks and chain brands, instead bursting with quirkiness and personality. Aside from boasting the best beaches in America – voted by TripAdvisor in 2015, there is the largest collection of Dali artwork outside of Spain at The Dali Museum and impressive street art and murals. St. Pete also boasts independent restaurants, boutique shops and a craft beer trail boasting 20 independent artisanal breweries.

PROJECT DESCRIPTIONS LCBO Urban Infill Store The Urban Infill Store, located at 1986 Queen Street East in Toronto is a highly innovative concept for the Liquor Control Board of Ontario; the first of its kind, it was created to get the most out of high-density urban areas and provide a viable solution to design, construction, operational efficiency and delivery challenges. Though modern in layout and functionality the Urban Infill Store is imbued with a feeling of hands on craftsmanship and old world charm. The overall concept based on an understanding that urban

II BY IV DESIGN

customers look for not only convenience but a selection of higher-end product and a sense of “retailtheatre” in their shopping experience. On the exterior, a strong street presence is created by using the full double story façade of the building; defined by dark bronze mullions and Gabions, wire cages filled with rocks, stacked above the entrance in conjunction with a back-lit oversized graphic of idyllic rolling hills. The overall effect is dramatic with the intention of lending a sense of history and context. Inside, light filled interiors feature high ceilings, herringbone-tiled floors, bleached oak wood, recycled wine barrels, dark bronze metal and patina finishes

that further reference an artisanal quality. The signature design element is a VINTAGES runway that showcases open wood crates and unique fixtures that display a variety of over 350 “handpicked” premium products sourced both locally and from around the world. Olympia Tile As front-runners in the Tile and Stone industry Olympia Tile has great influence over styling and demand, particularly within North America but also worldwide. Their flagship showroom occupies an entire block and features over 37,000 square feet of space open to the

II BY IV DESIGN

public, which is nothing short of grand. Employing natural stone sourced from the clientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s product line the final design is a contemporary, fashion-forward space with a bold architectural feel that references a gallery experience and high-end retail. To enhance the characteristics of the product on display, black and white finishes were used throughout the showroom: matte black walls with white lacquered free-standing fixtures, black porcelain floors with a beautiful book-matched white marble reception desk, and a black painted ceiling with repeating white light troughs. This black and white high-contrast effect is classic and allows the product to ultimately be the star.

Kasa Moto Kasa Moto is a contemporary Japanese restaurant that pays homage to the ancient ideals of wabi (transient and stark beauty), sabi (the beauty of natural patina and aging) and yĹŤgen (profound grace and subtlety). Located in the heart of Yorkville, Torontoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s luxury retail district, the two storey, 12,000 square foot space is spread out over multiple rooms including a split level main floor, dining/wine room, sizable roof top patio, street side terrace and lounge (Bar Moto) on the upper level. Striking a fine balance between simple and complex, the interiors feature a soft neutral color palette

of smoky greys, watery blues and natural wood tones accented with hints of gold and aged bronze. The serene and sophisticated ambiance further complimented by dramatic lighting and hand-painted ethereal murals of koi, cherry blossoms and Japanese landscapes created by local artist Tisha Myles. At the heart of the first floor two backlit white onyx bars, one for drinks and one for sushi, literally shine; running the entire length of the room, interrupted only by the open kitchen where food preparation is celebrated as a form of art. Above, recessed natural walnut ceiling lintels, reminiscent of traditional Asian architecture, are edge lit lending a warm and sophisticated effect.

Sculptural furniture forms are a calming counterpoint in the more ornately finished upstairs space which during the evening transforms into a cocktail lounge. Metallic bronze peacocks strut across a midnight black wallpaper and play backdrop to two striking watercolor paintings while floor-to-ceiling shoji styled screens form intimate seating areas (a repeating theme throughout the project). Though designed as a series of vignettes, each with its own personality and ambiance, there is a fluidity to the overall design of Kasa Moto; one that flows effortlessly, unified through refined finishes and a rich layering of detail.

Andres Escobar

Andres Escobar Revolutions Guest Experience at New Hotel in Downtown Brooklyn Eschewing a longstanding brand convention, interior designer Andres Escobar and his team have created a new design platform for a Holiday Inn in Downtown Brooklyn at 300 Schermerhorn Street.

Reinforcing this cutting-edge spirit is an entry that dramatically introduces a custom-designed Brooklyn Bridge mosaic mural behind a full-height water feature.

The recently inaugurated 14-story glass and brick hotel, featuring 245 rooms, is highlighted by a sophisticated aesthetic proposing a new experience within the hospitality group.

“It was important that the design reflects the area’s exciting transformation,” points out Escobar. “From the moment guests walk through the front doors, we want them to be delighted by the glamour of the hotel, as well as its comfort.”

As an InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) flagship operated by NY Hotel Management, it is located close to Barclays Center, Brooklyn Navy Yard and Metro Tech. Moreover, the hotel has been designed to appeal to a broad range of travelers, from businessmen to techies, hipsters, celebrities and others who regard Downtown Brooklyn as a trend-setting destination.

The lobby has been clad with natural walnut walls suspended over macchiato quartz floors. A reception area is highlighted by a backlit decorative chrome and brass metal grid detail that carries over to the elevators’ interiors.

Other custom-design elements include several large crystal prism-shaped pendant chandeliers that refract light throughout the space. Another surprising element is a fully landscaped greenhouse off the lobby with an atrium that is partially covered by shades to create soothing ambient light. Escobar has also designed a dark azure pool with a waterfall and glass wall overlooking a fully-equipped gym.

NH Hotel Group

NH Hotel Group, The Winning Hotel Chain In Europe And Latin America For NH Hotel Group, 2016 has kicked off with satisfaction at being rewarded for its excellence in all areas of business, not just thanks to the growth in figures but also thanks to the many and varied awards picked up during 2015. The Company’s successful business performance, its firm commitment to using cutting-edge technology applied to the “Meeting & Events” segment and its corporate social responsibility programme “Hotels with a heart” are at the top of a long list of activities which have now been rewarded, validating the route taken by NH Hotel Group since it launched its strategic transformation plan in 2014.

Successful business performance Two years after the launch of this plan, which has enabled the Company to evolve from a management model to one of leadership, the Group has recently been recognised for its work with the award for Best Global Hotel Chain at the Worldwide Hospitality Awards. This award is given to the international hotel chain which, in the previous year, has stood out among the 50 biggest hotel chains worldwide for its business performance excellence. NH Hotel Group also picked up the 2015 Company of the Year award, given by FEDECOM, the Federation of Official Chambers of Commerce in Spain, Africa, Asia

and Oceania. Presented to the Company by Mariano Rajoy, President of the Government in Spain, this award recognises the work done by NH Hotel Group in promoting the globalization of the Company and its commitment to service excellence. In addition, FECECA, the Federation of Official Spanish Chambers of Commerce in America, awarded the Company a prize for its commitment to growth in Latin America, coinciding with the international introduction of NH Hotel Group in Colombia. This event was also attended by the President of the Republic of Colombia, Juan Manuel Santos. Having acquired a portfolio of 20 hotels in Colombia, Chile

Cutting-edge technology In recent years, in the Meeting & Events segment, in which it is leader, NH Hotel Group has been recognised on many occasions for its innovative use of technology applied to the hotel industry. In its continual search to offer its clients cutting-edge technology, NH Hotel Group has become the leading company in the world to introduce 3D holographic

telepresence, in direct and/or pre-recorded format. The Group is the leading name in this sector worldwide, and this service is available permanently in its hotels. And recently, the Company was awarded the prize for Best Use of Technology at the 2015 European Hospitality Awards for its pioneering commitment to technology on an international scale. This commitment has meant the Group has set the benchmark in new technologies in this sector, offering business and leisure clients an extraordinary unique experience.

The Groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s flagship hotel in Madrid was recognised for its upper upscale brand, NH Collection Eurobuilding, in the Venue and Hotels for live events category at the Evcom Clarion Awards, in London. In addition to offering continuous 3D holographic telepresence, this hotel also stands out because of its 300m2 LED vault screen, the largest screen installed in a hotel in Europe. Personalised content and digital art are just some of the items which can be projected on this 3D screen.

NH Hotel Group

Responsible growth The Company’s commitment to maintaining growth with all its stakeholders, contributing to the Group’s sustainable development, has made it possible to integrate responsible business management into economic, social and environmental policies, with the aim of being the benchmark for Corporate Social Responsibility in the sector. In the last twelve years, NH Hotel Group has been developing a charitable initiative through various foundations and non-governmental organisations, donating almost 22,000 rooms to low-income families with seriously sick children or teenagers hospitalised far from home. This programme, called “Hotels with a heart”, was recognised in the “Best Sustainable Development and

Corporate Responsibility Incentive” category at the Worldwide Hospitality Awards in Paris, in recognition of the work done by over 2,000 employees who get involved every year as volunteers. In terms of the environment, NH Hotel group received the Soho Eco Eficiciencia award in the “Economic sustainability” category, for use of energy management tools which work with improvement of the system, and for inclusion of installations with a proven high level of energy efficiency. And more recently, in London, the Company received the Business Travel award for the “Best upper upscale brand” for its NH Collection brand. These awards will be handed out in 2016 for their 21st year, and are awarded in recognition of the success achieved by the leading players in the international business travel industry.

Cottons Caribbean Restaurant

the World Of Hospitality

Notting Hill Opening

Cottons Caribbean Restaurant and Salon de Rhum The hugely successful Cottons Caribbean Restaurant and Salon de Rhum will be launching its brand new flagship restaurant in Notting Hill, a stone’s throw from Notting Hill Gate Underground. The restaurant and bar is set to bring the exotic vibes of the Caribbean to Notting Hill in true tiki style. Sitting centrally (157-159 Notting Hill Gate W11), the sky-blue exterior and tropical statement planters mark the entrance to the restaurant. The floor-to-ceiling glass frontage reveals a colourful interior packed full of contagious Caribbean spirit. On the ground floor, seating is arranged around a central bar adorned with multicoloured bamboo. Behind the bar, the largest collection of rum in the UK stands proudly, with over 300 varieties available. Marinated exotic fruit-filled jars displayed on the wood shelving are a key ingredient in the renowned Cottons cocktails.

Opposite the bar, a hand painted floor-to-ceiling wall mural depicting a vibrant, tropical jungle scene spans the entire length of the wall. Suspended brass lighting with filament bulbs hang from the ceiling, creating a traditional tikki shack feel. In the bar area, diners will be able to enjoy bar snacks and sharing plates such as Jerk pork ribs (£7), Oxtail & bean stew (£7.50), and Ackee & saltfish (£7.50). Meanwhile, those in need of a coffee fix can enjoy a caffeine boost courtesy of the brand new Fracino coffee machine. Traditional Caribbean cuisine will be served Monday to Friday with lunch from Noon-3pm; afternoon tea from 3pm-6pm; and dinner 5pm-11pm. Dishes will include: Barbecue glazed pork belly with rum & molasses, pickled vegetables (£7); Trinidadian steamed red mullet in Chadon beni garlic butter, provision salad (£17); with sides of Rice n peas; and Fried plantain (£3 each).

Website: www.cottons-restaurant.co.uk

The restaurant has a large self-contained party and private dining space. Folding wooden doors reveal another statement wall mural, this time depicting an enchanting beachside scene. The bright, sunny space is paved with terracotta tiles, while a large antique golden mirror adorns the wall. Jamaican born Head Chef, Nikki McLeod, held the reins at Cottons Camden for 10 years. French Manager, Frederic Fawkes, was previously Restaurant Manager at Paradise at Kensal Green, and has also worked in Saint Martin in the Caribbean.

The new display, with a more user-friendly interface, will show directly the informations about the machine like its consumptions and the progression of the washing cycle.

A series of "benefits" which make the work easier, by connecting in real time with the warewasher to take care and leave precious time for other interventions.

Crestron

Crestron Selected For Innovative Oceania Hotel Concept World renowned resort hotel group, Oceania Hotels, wanted to redesign the norms of traditional hotels with a bold new hotel concept, Nomad Hotels. Innovation and cutting edge technology were top priorities for this new á la carte hotel, and smart tech leader Crestron was the obvious choice for a seamless and luxurious interior technology solution. The first Nomad Hotel is the flagship Roissy Charles de Gaulle, situated just five minutes from Charles de Gaulle airport near Paris. The hotel stands apart from the competition thanks in part to a unique tariff policy, and its model based on environmental responsibility

With over 500 m2 of open, connected lobby space, 205 rooms and a fitness room, all in a pure and elegant design, this new hotel is characterised by its “environmentally friendly and flexible” concept.

from when a guest reserves a room, when they are offered a range of options: a single or double bed, daily cleaning service or otherwise, access to heating or air conditioning, access to television (which is not a standard television set, but a video projector offering an original cinema experience), and water consumption control. All these services adjust the cost of the room and are based on a reverse low-cost principle.

In other words, the hotel aims to give each guest true freedom to do as they wish, putting them at the very heart of decisions during their stay. This starts

“From its initial design to the final result, this project never stopped evolving. Our aim was to find a partner that could adapt to our concept with reliable, evolving

and technological innovation. Crestron was selected for the controls in all the rooms, to provide seamless automation and user-friendly control interfaces. Revolutionising the traditional hotel business

Crestron

and effective solutions. By appointing Crestron, we achieved this aim. After a few months of operation, the results have been excellent, and feedback from our guests has been extremely positive,” says Nicolas Bottu, the Group’s Technical Director. Creating a unique user experience using home automation In each of the hotel rooms, users are entirely independent, as they can use their touchscreen tablet to manage the systems in their room. Crestron intelligence is at the heart of the control system and allows guests to manage the different

options offered to them. Crestron technology uses RTS and BACnet gateways to communicate with the Somfy roller blinds and the Daikin air conditioning system and to control the video projector and lighting system. The Crestron system also allows water consumption to be managed. If the guest has chosen this option and then exceeds the indicated water consumption threshold, an automation system controls a solenoid valve to reduce hot water consumption. In the event of a breakdown, there are backup options in the form of traditional switches and remote controls to ensure that guests can continue to use the room as normal.

For Christophe Malsot, Country Manager at Crestron, “the installation at Nomad was a real challenge and perfectly illustrates how technology is evolving in the hotel industry. The Crestron solutions were chosen for their interoperability and for how ergonomic they are to use by both the operating staff and the guests, who wanted a unique experience.”

BBQ Cheat Sheet from Michelin Star Chef Steve Smith @ Bohemia Restaurant, The Club Hotel & Spa, Jersey Avoid Disasters

Safety First

Impress Your Guests

It may seem obvious but if you want to avoid any disasters then you need to make sure the BBQ is lit properly and is not in the proximity of anything that is potentially flammable!

Generally any type of fish, lamb or beef are the safest items to cook for those concerned about becoming ill at a BBQ, as they are low risk meats. You can cook them rare, medium, well done or as you would normally. Also you should always use separate utensils for cooking and serving.

BBQs are not just about meat, any type of vegetable kebabs are great! Be bold and use vegetables such as onions, peppers, aubergines, and kholarbi.

Heat the Meat Make sure that any poultry or pork items are thoroughly cooked to avoid food poisoning. To know if you have the right temperature to cook with you just need to wait for the flames to die down, and check the colour of the coals. They should glow red underneath and be white on the top or you can buy BBQ thermometers from any good BBQ retailer.

Don’t Take Risks Any pork and chicken items are the highest risk food generally cooked on the BBQ and you need to check that they are thoroughly cooked. Also make sure they are consumed immediately. If you leave them outside on a nice day for more than 30 minutes you are running a risk of giving someone food poisoning! Also try not to serve any form of rice salad, as it will likely spend the entire day sat out in warm conditions.

Don’t Leave Leftovers Many people think that leftovers can be used the following day. This is generally a no no. Cook only what you need for the BBQ or you will just have to eat it all! Bohemia is the only restaurant in the Channel Islands to be listed in The Sunday Times Top 100 Restaurants and is ranked at number 49. Bohemia also recently received the highest score in the Channel Islands in the Good Food Guide 2016 with a glowing score of 7, its highest score yet, and was listed as the best restaurant in Jersey in the guide’s ‘Top 50 Restaurants in the UK’.

QED supplies modular kitchen and coffee shop for company’s new European HQ Quality Equipment Distributors (QED), based in Glasgow, is a leading UK designer and supplier of modular bar, coffee shop and food service equipment. The company has recently completed the design and installation of a modular coffee shop and additional kitchen equipment at a company’s new European headquarters in Glasgow. Modular display system at a reasonable price An important part of the company’s plans for the new premises was the design and installation of a kitchen, coffee shop and snack bar to cater for management, staff and visitors to the building. As the manager explains: ‘We wanted a modular system that was as good as a custom-built solution at a reasonable price,

and were fortunate to receive the ideal proposal from QED. An important consideration from us was the use of a rustic, natural wood finish for the fascia of the counters, which would be in harmony with our organic principles. ‘Robert Campbell and his team worked very closely with us to come up with a design specification and CAD drawing that was true to our vision, and the end result is both stylish and practical.’ The equipment that QED supplied is from their exclusive Continental Coffee Shop System. It includes a drop-in patisserie counter with front and rear sliding doors for serve-over and self-service operation, together with matching bar modules. The units are clad in distressed, reclaimed wood with granite and wooden worktops.

Eau de Vie Multitap drinking water system Behind the counters, QED has installed a compact kitchen facility that includes stainless steel sinks, worktops, a dishwasher and coffee machine. A special feature of the kitchen area is an Eau de Vie Multitap drinking water system, which dispenses filtered, chilled still or sparkling water, together with hot water for hot drinks, all from one easy-to-operate tap. As the company’s manager emphasises: ‘The kitchen and coffee shop is not simply a place for people to eat and drink. It also serves as a useful space for ad hoc and relaxed meetings, where ideas can be discussed and developed in less formal surroundings than in the office environment. To this end, we are very satisfied with the facility that QED has helped us to create.’

Craven Dunnill Jackfield

Blues Kitchen in Shoreditch Revives Tradition of Faience Fronted Bars

he Blues Kitchen Shoreditch has recently opened, complete with a vast, four square, Victorian- inspired, ceramic tiled fronted bar. UK specialist tile company Craven Dunnill Jackfield was responsible for the project, from design to handmanufacturing the tiles and then factory-mounting the tiles onto panels for rapid installation on site. The Blues Kitchen faience tiled bar front was manufactured by Craven Dunnill Jackfield in keeping with the historical tradition which dates to the 1880s. It is opulent and rich in style, with a central motif which features a mythical lionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head, embellished with swags and fruit. The deeply textured relief tiles are made using hand carved plaster moulds and decorated using metal oxide glazes which craze upon firing to create an authentic aged effect. Special moulded external corner fittings were designed and made, to allow the highly decorative and ornate patterning to flow seamlessly around the external corner of the bar front.

Telephone: 01952 884124

The lead time for the project was short â&#x20AC;&#x201C; less than four months from the initial conversations to the installation of the faience bar front, back bar wall tiles and floor. Having agreed the design, Jackfield created CAD drawings, before plaster moulds were made for each tile element. The whole project required meticulous planning and outstanding ceramic expertise, for which the Jackfield team is widely recognised. In order to meet the planned opening schedule, the Craven Dunnill Jackfield team explored options to reduce the time required to install the tiles and overcome issues associated with fixing heavy, ceramic tiles to a vertical surface. The solution was to supply to the contract pre-tiled modules that were assembled on site and grouted in situ for a purely professional finish. The bar installation was completed on time and is a stunning piece of ceramic craftsmanship, authentic to a Victorian bar from a bygone era.

EMAIL: info@cravendunnill.co.uk

It is robust and hard-wearing and able to withstand the hustle and bustle of a busy, stylish themed bar. The Blues Kitchen Shoreditch is part of the Columbo Group. The spacious diner with dance area and stage boasts an impressive bourbon collection and Texan food. The eclectic interior style successfully combines a rusting, panelled ceiling, multi-coloured tables made from wood, garage forecourt accessories and exposed brick walls adorned with atmospheric publicity material, featuring Fats Waller, Mary Williams, BB King and the like. The tile fronted bar dominates the interior and measures around 35 linear metres. Craven Dunnill Jackfield are leaders in the field of bespoke ceramic tile manufacturing. With a vast back catalogue of prestigious projects the Craven Dunnill Jackfield team are at the forefront of bespoke wall and floor tile making for hospitality projects around the world.

Marriott International

The Barcelona Edition To Debut In 2017 Ian Schrager together with Marriott International, Inc. (NASDAQ: MAR) and the owner and developer, KKH Property Investors, announced today their plans to open a new property in Barcelona, Spain in 2017, The Barcelona EDITION. EDITION is the first true luxury-lifestyle brand which combines the personal, intimate, individualized and unique hotel experience that Ian Schrager is known for, with the reach, operational expertise and global scale of Marriott International. Marriott International will manage the hotel under a long-term agreement. The 100-room hotel will boast an enviable locale in the destination’s famed Ciutat Vella district, close to the Cathedral of Barcelona and nearly adjacent to the iconic Santa Caterina Market. Within fifteen minutes of the beach, the hotel will also be set within walking

distance of many of the city’s most beloved landmarks including the Picasso museum, Santa Maria del Mar church, Palau de la Musica and Paseo de Gracia. “We are delighted to announce what will be our third EDITION Hotel in Europe, debuting in one of the most sophisticated and vibrant cities in the region,” said Dan Flannery, global managing director of EDITION. “EDITION continues to thrive following the recent and iconic openings of London, Miami Beach and New York City, and we couldn’t be more excited about the potential for the brand throughout Europe,” said Mr. Flannery. Ian Schrager, chairman and chief executive officer of Ian Schrager Company, commented, “I am proud to further the global expansion of the brand with

this incredibly exciting project in Barcelona. The city represents a great, cultural epi-center of Europe, making it an ideal location for the region’s newest EDITION.” The unique project will encompass a total transformation by Office of Architecture in Barcelona – OAB (Carlos Ferrater Studio), of an existing office building into a modern and contemporary luxurylifestyle hotel with a casual yet timeless feel co-created by Ian Schrager and famed Spanish designer, Lázaro Rosa-Violán. The space will include three distinct restaurant experiences, along with an activated lobby space, club and rooftop bar area. “We are delighted to be able to bring this iconic project to Barcelona with Marriott International and

Marriott International

Ian Schrager. This is a project that speaks to the very heart of our city,” said Josep-Maria Farré, founder of KKH Capital Group, a shareholder of KHH Property Investors. “We are transforming an outdated property into what will be an exciting landmark hotel, creating an experience that respects the environment and the urban setting of Barcelona.” Now open in New York, London, Miami and Istanbul, EDITION Hotels has marked the next chapter in the lifestyle hotel story. This delicate balancing act encompasses, for the very first time, not only great design and true innovation, but also great personal, friendly, modern service as well as outstanding, oneof-a-kind food, beverage and entertainment offerings “all under one roof ”. The authenticity and originality that Ian Schrager brings to this new brand coupled with the global reach of Marriott International results in a truly distinct product that sets itself apart from anything else currently in the marketplace.

Each hotel with its rare individuality, authenticity, originality and unique ethos reflects the best of the cultural and social milieu of its location and of the time. Although all of the hotels look completely different from each other, the brand’s unifying aesthetic is in its approach and attitude to the modern lifestyle rather than its appearance. EDITION is about an attitude and the way it makes you feel rather than the way it looks. Sophisticated public spaces, finishes, design and details serve the experience, not drive it. Future hotels are planned for Sanya, China (2016), Bangkok (2017), Abu Dhabi (2017), Shanghai (2017), Times Square (2018), West Hollywood (2018), Reykjavik, Iceland (2018), Bali, Indonesia (2018) and Dubai (2019).

Ryno Expertise Supports An Inside Out Approach

ummer is here and the debate is as fierce as the midday sun: where is Britain’s best rooftop bar or restaurant?

London is leading the way, with a flurry of new launches and established favourites, as the lifestyle press and bloggers get to grips with the hospitality trade’s hot topic, but the regions are giving the pacesetter a run for its money. Behind the glamour of every rooftop terrace, deck or patio is a unique design and construction challenge and Ryno is a company which is building a growing reputation for providing the substance behind the style for projects throughout Britain and beyond. Innovation is at the heart of everything the vibrant firm does, with the team fresh from showcasing its latest products on the national station at Vision London earlier this summer. The business provides intelligent solutions to architects, developers, contractors, tradesmen and the domestic market – with the hospitality sector amongst the quickest to grasp the potential of the RynoDeck and RynoPave ranges. Both feature pedestals, cradles and support systems ideal for use wherever decking and paving is required. Quick to install and easy to adjust, the products have won praise for their versatility and have been designed to stand the test of time.

The newest additions are a unique aluminium decking subframe system, created to provide support which will never rot and which combines unparalleled durability with impressive strength and Ryno’s paving support grate system. Manufactured using engineered polymers and utilising a hexagonal pattern for optimum strength, the individual grates can be used to form a subflooring grid which can support everything from luxury natural stone through to heavyweight paving. Anton White, Ryno sales director, said: “Our business is built around three words: smart, strong, support. The new products are very different but both share those qualities and are already attracting considerable interest. “There is a very experienced team behind Ryno, with more than a quarter of a century spent developing innovative products which have been used in projects large and small. We are determined to continue evolving and providing solutions to challenges we know exist – none more so than in the hospitality trade, where the demand for solutions which enable bars and restaurants to create patios, decks and roof terraces is growing month on month. “The beauty of our systems is that they can be utilised in the most simple settings through to the most complex, coming into their own when there are site challenges which cannot be met using traditional methods. That has won us many friends in the design and construction industries.”

Telephone: 01358 726005

EMAIL: sales@rynosupport.com

The latest products are already being utilised in a variety of projects – from domestic through to retail and leisure settings. Anton White added: “There has been a fantastic response to the products. The aluminium decking subframe is a great example of what is a very logical solution to a problem which has reared its head in domestic and commercial settings. Traditional timber subframes are naturally susceptible to decay and are difficult to preserve in the long term due to the problems with access. By using aluminium, that issue is avoided and our designs ensure strength is not compromised. “The paving support grate system is similar, in that it is a commonsense approach married to very clever design and materials. It enables paving to be installed where previously it would have been impossible, for example creating a raised platform on sloping ground. “All of our systems have also been used extensively on roof terraces and balconies, solutions which are attracting particular interest from architects who are increasingly specifying Ryno products as part of their designs. “For both new products the list of potential applications is vast, from domestic gardens through to residential developments and major commercial projects. The focus is on making laying decking and paving quick, clean and easy – without compromising on strength or safety.”

TURNING OUTDOOR SPACE INTO

PROFITABLE SPACE LEISUREBENCH LIMITED How important is it for a pub to get its outdoor furniture right and why? The answer to that is, very important. It is critical to make a pubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s garden look attractive to potential customers to attract passing trade and that includes the outdoor furniture. It expands the available area for eating and drinking and turns outdoor areas into profitable areas. It also helps to bring in families with children, which will expand your clientele range. First of all, you need to determine what use the furniture is being put to and what your requirements are, to ensure that customers are comfortable whilst eating or drinking. The amount of space you have available outdoors to play with will also determine what type of furniture you should choose. If it is an eating area, then you probably need separate tables and chairs with arm rests and ideally parasol and base to shield from the hot weather, to give added comfort whilst customers are eating. For less formal use, our range of picnic tables and benches are the ideal solution. For a more comfortable relaxed situation try our new Oasis Rattan collection. This has been developed from our classic Rattan range, with up to the minute styling, commercial strength and longevity. It is also suitable for outdoor or indoor use. This seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s colour is shades of grey. For those wanting a splash of colour, we have introduced new Tolix Style chairs and new slimline table tops. Again the range is suitable for using outdoors or indoors. Made from electro-galvanised extra thick steel plate, the chairs are also stackable. Our range of outdoor shelters come in various styles and suitable, amongst other things, to be used as smoking shelters. The recycled range gives you maintenance free furniture and all these products can be mixed and matched along with a range of accessories such as parasols, jumbrellas, heaters and cushions. We carry large stocks from our 55,000 sq. ft. of warehousing space and a fast delivery is assured to anywhere in the UK. Our full range can be viewed on our website at www.leisurebench.co.uk Our dedicated sales team are here to advise you. Call us on 01949 862920 or email sales@leisurebench.co.uk

Altesi Ristorante

the World Of Hospitality

Altesi Ristorante / Arqmov Workshop Within a neoclassical-style building, between 5th Ave and Madison in NYC, in a 210 m2 shop, the interiors were developed for this italo-french restaurant which served lunch and dinner within the restaurant and its terrace. The client wanted to widen his schedule and take advantage of the pedestrian traffic throughout the morning, permitting a new market. The layout included a bread and coffee bar that can be attended without the need of opening the rest of the restaurant. The space distribution was simplified to the maximum, walls were proposed as part of the cellar and it was integrated within the design. Booths

were also suggested and a bar within its own bar to accommodate a greater number of clients. Referring to the use of materials limiting them to homogenize tones and including a few textures, using marble, different tones of wood, palladium on the ceiling which gives the reflections and the illusion of space amplitude, Completely warm lighting was designed in such a way that it would give repetitive shadows throughout the cellar, some architectural details were accentuated on the bars and the polygonal spaces in which wine is exhibited.

The terrace was ambienced with natural wood wainscoting as a visual finishing in front of an adjoining wall with bare brick which completes the backplane of the property and a small vertical garden that integrates itself with a large neighboring tree.

Arqmov Workshop's Philosophy Designing involves talking about what is and what is expected of the design, summarizing the values and needs of the architectural object, looking for a positive impact on the daily lives of those who inhabit the spaces, not only to create aesthetic and functional "products", these are intrinsic values that do not determine the object, but also to be part of the process and the search goes beyond resolving a problem, to improve the life and the environment of the daily user and spectator in the urban environment when a work of architecture is, in relation to the interior design, creating atmospheres, emotions and experiential

sequences in each person which lives colors, light, texture, dimensions, proportions and furniture arranged in such a way that they give meaning to the conceptual vision behind each design just as the architect has configured it for his artistic expression. Design requires considerations that summary and symbolize all that it is yearning for, which creates in the memory space and identity, which makes living a spiritual act. Arqmov Workshop is a dynamic, ambitious practice with 20 years' experience in various kinds of developments, including housing complexes, luxury

apartments, commercial buildings, office spaces, leisure venues and hotels in Mexico, the US, India, and other countries. Focus on service, sustainability, high living standards, ergonomics, creativity and originality. They have technical expertise and a thorough knowledge of the architectural process in all phases from conception to completion. The strength of their practice lies in their vast experience working under management contracts and in the implementation of high quality construction standards. Communication and a positive attitude make us an effective team to work with.
