Work completed around trading hours

The existing carpet had worn into visible lanes between the entry, cashier and table pit. We drew a new axminster layout that moved the pattern break away from the busiest crossings and used a darker ground under the machine banks.

Table seating was replaced set by set so no pit lost more than two tables in a night, and the lighting control was re-scened to separate table lighting from the general ceiling wash.

Stone and veneer selections were reduced to three finishes so the joinery could be shop-made in a single run and installed over two weeks.

A brass floor piece anchors the hall; its plinth, rigging points and lighting were resolved with the structural engineer before fabrication began.
