The Feathers public house and kitchen in Rickmansworth is a thriving old world pub with a traditional feel that sits at the heart of the local community.
Albie’s Café replaced a jewellery shop in the centre of the district high street of the increasingly trendy borough of Carlton in Nottingham.
Following the success of their venue in a neighbouring village, private owners purchased the business with a vision to turn it into a high-quality dining destination in the heart of the country.
When the Old Flower Shop was purchased in 2022, the new owners had plans to transform it into one of Nottingham’s best bars. The rustic industrial feel that previously existed ensured sports fans felt at home on game days and nights, but there was a feeling there was much more potential to tap in to. Having enjoyed success in the area before, the management team wanted to emulate the look and feel of their past venues, knowing they had a winning formula that would have loyal customers flooding back in no time.
The Old Vol has been at the heart of the rural community of Caythorpe for many years. But like many traditional English pubs outside the city centres, it seemed to be stuck in a cycle of new owners and regular reinventions – non notably more successful than the last. Sensing a potential downturn, a local private owner purchased the charming establishment in 2022 with the aim of ensuring its future by creating a great pub serving high quality cuisine in his area.
DFDS has been named as the World’s Leading Ferry Operator at the World Travel Awards for the past nine years, so it’s clear the Danish transport firm takes passenger comfort seriously. That’s why it turned to the Contract Furniture Group when it was time to refurbish the seventh floor facilities of its Dover to Calais fleet.
