Restaurants

At the completion of Westfield shopping centre, the food court had a few casualties, not just unfinished but not approved by the Landlord. While Ooze Risotteria (see above) was completed on time by C and S ltd and met the the high standards set by the Landlord, the Westfield Comptoir restaurant was not so lucky. As C and S ltd had proven itself at Westfield, the owner of Comptoir approached us to refurbish their existing restaurant in Paddington. Although small it was packed with all kinds of finishes - hand made tiles on the floor, a bespoke food counter with a hot section and a chilled section, all finished in black corian. The counters and remaining joinery were all bespoke in the true sense of the word and all carefully fitted into the recesses that are typical of an old London property. The property is linked to the hotel above it and we carried out all of this work without disturbing the guests once. As you can see on our gallery page we created a stunning restaurant interior that also had a small retail section. We were proud of the work we carried out as a true test of our experience.

The owner of Coast restaurant saw The Market restaurant and knew immediately that he wanted to employ us for his restaurant fit out. Having created one restaurant interior in Camden London, creating another one in the same road was a treat! Some designs and interiors just work and this is true of some shopfitters - you can drop them into any environment - healthcare, retail, education, industrial and they can just deal with it. Along the way we have created interiors, fitted out, refurbished entire buildings in all of these sectors and have gathered a wealth of knowledge. The owner of Coast restaurant did not have a huge budget and we still managed to create something unique for him as a restaurant interior. Using all of our experience as shopfitting contractors we advised on cost effective floor and wall finishes but still gave him Corian topped tables and a big open planned kitchen so that guests get exposed to the theatre of the kitchen. This blend of experience helped us point him in the right direction and although we did install new ceilings, new walls, new flooring and new commercial kitchen it was all done with an eye on the budget! This interior fit out for Coast restaurant is as robust and eye catching as many others costing much, much more and I believe that this proves that working in partnership with your shopfitter when it comes to interiors of all types will pay dividends in the long run.

If you want iconic London then Camden's a good place to start. At the Market restaurant our brief was to create a visual feast, an interior that was unique, comfortable and as iconic as Camden. We stripped out the old restaurant, bar, kitchen and started again. The plaster was removed from the walls to expose old London bricks, these were sand blasted and gave the restaurant an instantly unique interior. To complement this we added an oak floor and left it with an oiled finish so that over time it would develop a patina of its own. Some interior "specialist" contactors use this phrase because they assume that it is all about putting up plasterboard and some of the time it is. However at C&S Ltd we still take pride in the traditional skills in shopfitting These skills let our contractors create something truly unique on site - and Market Restaurant was a project where we could do that. This restaurant was worked on top to bottom and we installed new power, lighting, flooring, decoration, seating and celings. The best part of the interior were the zinc wrapped table tops and old wooden school chairs and counter. All different, some new, some old but all working well to create that unique restaurant interior - a special place created using the skills of a specialist interior company - C&S Ltd.

We had thought that the restaurant in Fleet street London was bold until we saw the plans for Chilangoes Restaurant interior fit-out in The Meadowhall Centre Sheffield. Even with our many years of experience, we didn't realise that any commercial interior or restaurant could be this fantastic!

It is true that all interiors start life as all other projects - partitioning, suspended ceilings, floor coverings, decorating, air conditioning, lighting, power - however then you need to add the X factor... you know, the items that turn your restaurant into a stunning bespoke interior. We added concrete vanity units wire mesh suspended ceilings, pink corian, pink leather banquette seating, resin flooring, tiling, polished concrete tiles, a massive shopfront and enough bespoke joinery to meet anyone's requirements. These transformed the interior of this restaurant into the most exciting commercial interior that we have ever created. It was more amazing than any other office interior, retail interior or healthcare interior and we should know... we have built enough of them!

London is our playground and although some shopfitters habitually travel the country, we don't. To get one of the best shopfitting contractors in London out of London you know that the project will be good. As interior projects go, this was the most bespoke, unique item we have ever created. Who else could give you a concrete entrance portall, with a pink corian shroud, hidden lighting and a secret roller shutter and all of this is slap bang in the middle of a 15m wide glass shopfront?! To create this magnificent interior, there is a massive amount of hidden structural steel, all neatly fitted in pockets in the walls, tucked behind the bespoke finishes. The steel staircase leads up to a mezzanine floor, an item quite common in commercial or industrial interiors, however this one was as unique as the rest of the interior because it had no steel in it. This was the first wooden mezzanine floor we have ever built in 20 years. On top of this floor we built booth seating, with pink laminate ceilings and walls, hidden recessed lighting and tables that where fixed to the glass fronts of the booths. This is about as cutting edge as it gets for interiors and one of the best from one of Londons best shopfitting contractors!

Having just completed the refit of the new 1970's retro restaurant, Gregs Table in Bermondsey Square Hotel for Greg Wallace (Masterchef) I am pleased to say there were no flares, tight football shorts or men with long perms to be seen...mind you I didn't get to meet all of the guests! It was a pleasure to create such a retro environment. Restaurant Interiors are always complicated as there are so many elements to coordinate, but as usual C and S ltd achieved a standard beyond expectation.

Having received the indicative scope of works 1 week before xmas, we started first week back in Jan. The works included a new bar with pewter top, besboke joinery to walls, cupboards, displays, bespoke banquette seating . New flooring to the main area, behind bar and kitchen area. Full redecoration of the restaurant and hotel reception. Redirection of all existing services which included power, water and drainage- this entailed digging up the sub floor and making good. We were on site for three and a half weeks and produced a superb finished product.  I don't know about Masterchef, but Master Restaruant Contractors - Definately!!

Having just completed the refit of the new 1970's retro restaurant, Gregs Table in Bermondsey Square Hotel for Greg Wallace (Masterchef) it was a big change to be fitting a stand alone unit in the redeveloped Kings Cross Station for Yalla Yalla which was so cutting edge. This beautifully designed unit was fit and finished within a week all ready for the grand opening of the New Kings Cross Station.

The counter was built externally and we then added the external cladding onsite - We managed the entire fit out of the unit for Yalla Yalla. From sketch to finished product we managed to turnaround this project in four and a half weeks.

How do you describe Chilango's? These are simply the very best restaurant fit outs utilising all of the best materials, creating all of the restaurant interiors. This was Construction and Shopfitting showing London why we really are the best shopfitting contractor! We do specialize in restaurant fit outs and refurbishments and do we make them special. All of the finishes for this project were specialist and we managed to finish it early for them. No other restaurant interiors can prepare you for this interior fit out - from the reclaimed corian tables to the bespoke counters and bars, Chilangos restaurant fit outs provide a specialist restaurant fit out contractors dream. The specialist joinery created a truly bespoke interior!

Before we could start the fit out we had to strip out the old pub removing the existing bars and commercial kitchen, taking out the old chimney and propping it all up on specialist steel work. This was a very small space and we crammed in a full prep kitchen and a main kitchen for cooking, all of this gave this very special restaurant interior an added dimension, something you only get with a one of Londons best shopfitting restaurant fit out contractors!

After completing Chilango's in Fleet Street, the Company realised that now they were working with one of London's best shopfitting contractors so they could really push the boat out. We refurbished their existing restaurant in Upper Street, London fitting it out with corian counters, new commercial kitchen , new floor covering and decoration throughout. The lighting and power was changed to give the restaurant a truly bespoke look and feel. As with all commercial interiors, air conditioning was installed through out. To ensure that the interior met the highest standards, all of the doors were upgraded to fire doors and a new fire alarm system was installed. The programme was absolutely insane and we accomplished this in 12 days and to add to our workload we also carried out some structural alterations and swapped the shop front as well. Anybody who understands restaurant interiors as we do, will realise just how big a challenge this was. It just goes to show that, with a very determined team, you can achive the most amazing interiors in a very short space of time.

Ask a shopfitter to create a ship in a bottle and this is what you get. We built a unique restaurant interior inside one of the most unique shopping interiors in Europe!

As interiors go it was special, lots of corian, bespoke joinery, commercial kitchen, cold displays, hot displays and bespoke glass products to display the produce. The corian counters were backlit to reveal the routed logo. The oak timber panelling was cut and formed on site, each little rebate measured and produced by us to the client's exact instructions. This was old fashioned shopfitting, in a modern interior. It just so happens that we were creating a bespoke restaurant interior but we could have been making a retail interior or healthcare interior, such was the level of detail on the joinery. To create the skeleton of the restaurant we used traditional stud and board partitioning and a lightweight MF suspended ceiling. At this point it could have been any interior but we slowly added the bespoke joinery, truly unique and bespoke corian counter, a commercial kitchen, power and lighting, flooring. However the wall covering was a brass cladding, all neatly folded and seamed, covering floor to ceiling on certain elevations. To reinforce the simple fact that we are one of London's best shopfitting contractors creating all kinds of bespoke commercial interiors we finished this project on time, allowing Ooze to open when many others did not and in a shopping centre environment that is everything!

It is always flattering to be asked to refurbish or fit out any commercial interior, healthcare, restaurant, office interior - the buzz is always the same. However when you get asked to rectify another contractor's work at a restaurant's Head Office, you know that they really consider you to be one of London's best shopfitting contractors. This was a simple make over for us: decorations to the partitions and suspended ceilings. We replaced the floor coverings and fettled with the bespoke seating and commercial kitchen. We recreated their unique brand by upgrading the interior to how it should have been carried out by the original contractors!

Having just completed the refit of the head office interior at the Fine Burger restaurant, we were delighted to be awarded their first shopping centre fit out. This is one of the most complicated places to create any unique restaurant interior, however as usual C&S triumphed.

We were presented with an old American diner and had to turn this into a cutting-edge burger restaurant! We installed all new suspended ceilings, partitioning, new floor coverings, lighting, power and miles of wall battening. This project involved lots of bespoke joinery - counters, waiter stations, bars and bar tops. We created luxury toilets all fully tiled. As refitted restaurant interiors go this was an extremely nice place to sit and eat. And the entrance of the restaurant was a full height partition wall, all finished in Fine Burger's distinctive, purple corporate colour.

With another Fine Burger restaurant under our belt, we went on to fit out their new restaurant in the Excel Arena in Docklands London. Although this was a small kiosk fit out, it had all of the main components that a main restaurant fit out would have to create a commercial interior but in miniature! Somehow we squeezed in a commercial kitchen, bespoke counters to serve from, elegant storage solutions, retail storage and completed the fit out in 10 days. In creating this restaurant interior we had to have all of the normal suspended ceilings, partitions, flooring, electrical installations and decoration. Working closely with the designers we managed to fit this restaurant out and create an amazing interior, again, taking us to work in other locations fo the Fine Burger restaurant company.

Another restaurant, another kiosk fit out for Fine Burger. However, fitting all of the items needed in this kiosk for a fully functioning restaurant was nothing short of a miracle! This is perhaps the smallest interior project we have ever completed. Bespoke usually means a one off and this really is the case with this project and however you want to dice it - we did create a bespoke specialist restaurant interior in miniature. A custom interior by a custom interior specialist!

Working right next door to one of Londons iconic stadiums, we were given a tight challenge, remove one restaurant interior and create a new interior - nothing bad about that, that is what we do. However this one had to be done in between matches and out of hours!

Once the old interior and commercial kitchen had been removed, we began to create one of the specialist interiors we are well known for. Up went the suspended ceilings, in went the light fittings, down went the tiled floors, out of the boxes came the commercial kitchen, in went the bespoke joinery to create bars and counters to serve at, unique storage items and beautiful timber doors. A specialist interior contractor will give you a specialist interior whether or not your bespoke interior is for office, healthcare, education or restaurant. We managed to create the restaurant interior in the time allowed, with panache and flair. All as you would expect from one of Londons best shopfitting contractors.

C&S on tour again! Singapore Sams restaurant goes bust, Fine burger restaurant need to move in and who do they call? Construction and Shopfitting, one of London's best shopfitting contractors. In just 10 days we gutted the old restaurant interior, fully tiled the new one which included floors and walls, dropped in a new suspended ceiling, adapted the services to create the new layout for the commercial kitchen and then created a serving counter all from bespoke joinery and UV bonded glass. We fitted this restaurant out so quickly that we created at bit of a stir amongst the locals and were awarded another contract in the shopping centre to fit out a coffee cafe.

Not a full blown refit or fit out this time. We were asked to move the existing counters, create some bespoke joinery in the form of tables and bar, fit new wooden flooring through out, decorate through out and get out as fast as possible.

A simple face-lift this time, new decoration through out, more bespoke joinery manufactured off site and then fitted on site and new wooden flooring through out. Sounds simple and it was, for one of London's best shopfitting contractors.

Whilst we were beavering away on the Fine Burger Restaurant in Swindon, we were approached by the owner of the Italian Caféwho had been let down by another shopfitting contractor. Having one of London's best shopfitting contractors working on the neighbouring unit was too good an opportunity for them to pass up. Once we had agreed the scope of works we got on with it. In went the suspended ceiling, up went the stud walls, in went the flooring with the electrics following not far behind. The beauty of employing C&S to carry out refurbishments or fit outs in either education, healthcare, or restaurant is that we have experience of creating these interiors before. The team is truly a team and we work to a common goal of creating the correct interior for the sector we are in; we simply perform to the best of our abilities to create your ideal interior. The counters were one of the last items to go in and as usual with a bespoke item from C&S looked the part and provided the client with a functional display for their products. To conclude, we went to Swindon to fit out a burger restaurant and whilst we were there fitted out an Italian Café as well!!!!!

As one of London's best shopfitting contractors it is not unusual to be asked to create an amazing interior, very quickly whilst making no noise and not affecting normal business! This is pretty much what we did at Fenwicks in Bond street London. Out of hours we erected the temporary screens, removed the existing bar and services, cleared the restaurant of tables and chairs and got on with it. In the rear we installed hygienic cladding to the kitchen walls, fitted new flooring and new suspended ceilings, in went the lights, electrical and plumbing installations. Then the bespoke kitchen with stainless counters and tables. Not a bad looking interior to work in, we thought!  However we were far from complete as we had a unique bar to build. If you want "wow", then do it with corian. Nothing comes close to providing this unique look and C&S Ltd are one of the few corian approved contractors who can fabricate and install this material. The bar is leather clad with a corian top and a "floating" shelf on hidden brackets. If you are going to create a bar/restaurant interior then you may as well do it right and we added masses of American black walnut to the restaurant area. This gave it a real traditional feel to the bar area and made the interior a very pleasant place to be. To create this interior in the middle of London, inside one of London's premier retail stores you need a reliable shopfitting contractor - I am very proud that Fenwicks felt that C&S Ltd fitted the bill and that we delivered what they wanted, the way they wanted it done and to the agreed budget.

The pub was undergoing a refurbishment and the owners had the "builders in". It is often assumed that builders and shopfitters do the same thing, which is quite an assumption! It soon became apparent to the owners that their builders were not up to the job and they went looking for a shopfitter to help them achieve the bar/restaurant interior that they were trying to create. We are pleased to say that they found us! Within no time at all we had created a new bar - all in white corian (see Gallery) which gave them a real wow factor. Then we moved our attention to the back bar and created a unique stainless steel bar to house all of their drinks and other produce. Behind the back bar we installed back lit mirrors with sand blasted patterns on them. To complete the bar/restaurant interior we manufactured banquette seating, which was curved to maximise the space. To compliment these, we manufactured and installed new curved tables. We also went on to carry out all of the decorations within the bar and restaurant area ensuring that C&S Ltd had helped to create this stunning bar/restaurant interior in one of London's trendiest areas.

Westfield was a little jewel in our crown, a glowing beacon for C&S Ltd. For some contractors it was a crown of thorns when they did not complete their clients' projects on time. As a shopfitting contractor we punch far above our weight in the world of commercial interiors: we create stunning interiors AND we provide something extra, that personal touch. This cannot be costed and it cannot be found in a quotation. The interior and fit out in general at Ooze Restaurant in Westfield shopping centre was stunning, you have so many quality materials that it had to be a winner. We had the normal elements that go into any fit out or refurbishment- suspended ceiling, partitions, electrical installation, plumbing, commercial kitchen and flooring. However we then added the icing on the cake - corian displays, corian counter, marble counter tops, bespoke joinery to the walls and cabinets below the counter. The gold wall cladding is actually a roofing material that we very cleverly used as a wall covering, not a use that the manufacturers ever expected! The main front counter not only has corian, UV bonded glass but hidden chillers that blow cool air across the food to keep it cool - this is truly unique, truly one of a kind. The bespoke joinery in this restaurant interior could easily be found in a bar or club as it displays the bottles of water. Not just any old display mind you, this is backlit to provide that extra something.

Back to that crown of thorns - all around us the contractors responsible for creating the Apple, addidas, timberland and other stores all worked long into the night to accomplish their targets and so did we, however we achieved it whilst others failed and the opening day at Westfield was a cash bonanza. Imagine siting on the side lines whilst all around you others struck gold and all because you used the wrong shopfitter! If you want a stunning interior, executed the best way possible by a contractor who cares, please do call C&S Ltd one of the best shopfitting contractors in London. Not only do we care but we really are good; whether you want a stunning retail interior or casual fast food restaurant or retail emporium we have the experience to carry this out.

At the completion of Westfield shopping centre, the food court had a few casualties, not just unfinished but not approved by the Landlord. While Ooze Risotteria (see above) was completed on time by C&S and met the high standards set by the Landlord, the Westfield Comptoir restaurant was not so lucky. As C&S had proven itself at Westfield, the owner of Comptoir approached us to refurbish their existing restaurant in Paddington. Although small it was packed with all kinds of finishes - hand made tiles on the floor, a bespoke food counter with a hot section and a chilled section, all finished in black corian. The counters and remaining joinery were all bespoke in the true sense of the word and all carefully fitted into the recesses that are typical of an old London property. The property is linked to the hotel above it and we carried out all of this work without disturbing the guests once. As you can see on our Gallery page we created a stunning restaurant interior that also had a small retail section. We were proud of the work we carried out as a true test of our experience.

Although we completed our side of the works delivering a restaurant with an amazing interior we were not paid - this was all achieved with sleight of hand and dishonesty. If you are planning to work with TONY KITOUS or ATIF AMIN can I advise that you walkaway, however promising it appears they have done this to others as well.
