Bens Yard Restaurant
Ely, Cambridgeshire
Towards the conclusion of 2020, our team received an invitation from the proprietors of Ben's Yard to lend our expertise in designing their restaurant. Situated on a working farm beyond the retail village, the estate's unique characteristics played a significant role in shaping our design concepts.
Careful consideration and planning were applied to each aspect of the restaurant's space, resulting in the creation of distinct seating zones, offering a harmonious dining experience.
Upon entering the restaurant through the lobby, guests are warmly welcomed by a bespoke olive tree adorned with rattan lighting, complemented by tastefully upholstered banquette seating.
A prominent focal point of the establishment is the exquisitely designed bar. Utilising muted green tiles, we achieved a modern and contemporary appearance while preserving the rustic ambiance with industrial-style lighting suspended from above. Adjacent to the bar, a faux barn door was ingeniously incorporated, alongside comfortable lounge seating, augmenting the restaurant's inviting atmosphere.
Furthermore, an external dining area was introduced to provide guests with an opportunity to relish the outdoors. This area features four pergolas, ensuring that the restaurant can accommodate guests in any weather condition, further enhancing the overall dining experience.
