Rda Create Catering Projects To Inspire

Issue 31

We're a creative bunch here at RDA and we love nothing more than creating unique and beautiful designs for catering projects across the UK.

Throughout 2017 we worked on a whole range of innovative and inspiring projects across a variety of sectors including business & industry, education, hospitality and the high street and 2018 is already shaping up to be our busiest year to date. Here’s just a taster of some of our key projects from the last year.

A new high-end coffee bar within a major bank in Canary Wharf.

Our team of designers carefully interpreted the clients vision transforming an out-of-use catering outlet into a new coffee bar which serves the Bank’s thousands of employees. Installation involved considerable re-modelling including new luxurious leather seating pods, copper pendant lights for that on-trend industrial feel from the high street, as well as neon-effect, bespoke botanical wall sign portraying the name of the coffee bar.

Costa Coffee at Blackpool Pleasure Beach

Blackpool’s world-famous Pleasure Beach looked no further than RDA when it was looking for a brand-new Costa Coffee store. Working closely with both the pleasure beach and contract caterers to transform the existing space – previously a steak house – the project presented a number of challenges. This included working in a building of special interest to adhering to a timescale of just three weeks, ensuring an opening prior to the busy Bank Holiday weekend.

The Budgie Bar, The Counter

Two major projects in 2017 saw us receive industry recognition after we were shortlisted in the Restaurant and Bar Design Awards 2017 for The Budgie Bar, a high-end, contemporary bar in Canary Wharf, London and a finalist in the Northern Design Awards 2017 for Californian inspired, build your own burger restaurant, The Counter, Glasgow.

New HSBC UK headquarters in Birmingham

A key project throughout 2018 – we have recently secured the contract to design and install the catering facilities at the new HSBC UK headquarters in Birmingham. The team worked with the contract caterers, HSBC and project management company Mace to develop the catering design before successfully securing the fit-out contract. RDA will now create a new restaurant, two new coffee shops and a hospitality kitchen to service the whole building.
