For over 20 years, we have helped Star Pubs and Heineken shape some of the most characterful and commercially successful pubs across the South of England, creating spaces that feel rooted in their surroundings and are tailored to how each venue operates day to day.
In the competitive landscape of hospitality interior design, a venue’s success calls for a trusted partnership that understands how to balance creativity, operational needs and commercial impact.
For over 20 years, our collaboration with Star Pubs and Heineken has been built on that understanding. Together, we have helped shape some of the most characterful and commercially successful pubs across the South of England, creating spaces that feel rooted in their surroundings and are tailored to how each venue operates day to day. From listed buildings to community locals, every project reflects a shared ambition to create exceptional interiors people return to.

Every project begins with understanding the brief and uncovering what makes each site unique. Drawing from detailed surveys and existing drawings, we build a clear picture of the space before exploring its potential through sketch schemes and 3D visualisations.
This early stage allows clients and operators to fully engage with the design, testing ideas and refining the direction before works begin. Outdoor spaces are often a key part of this process, with gardens and terraces reimagined to extend the guest experience and create new opportunities for the business.
Working across a diverse pub portfolio brings its own complexities, particularly when heritage buildings and planning constraints are involved. We guide the lessee through planning applications and listed building consents, using our experience to navigate these challenges with clarity and confidence.
Once designs are approved, we develop detailed working drawing packages that translate the creative vision into a clear, buildable scheme, ensuring it is delivered on site with the same level of care as it was designed. Our involvement continues through this stage, helping maintain the integrity of the design as it becomes a working environment.
Our long-standing partnership with Star Pubs has resulted in a diverse portfolio, from sensitive refurbishments of listed properties to bold reinventions of local community pubs. Each project is approached with the same mindset: to create spaces that feel authentic, work effortlessly for the teams behind them and offer something memorable for guests.
Across every scheme, the focus remains the same: thoughtful design, practical delivery and a clear understanding of what makes a pub succeed. At the heart of every pub interior design is our passion to shape spaces that not only stand out but continue to perform over time and bring people together.
