Everyone Loves Pizza!!!!!

The Vision:

Artisan pizza experts Wood Fire Smoke were proving extremely popular following on from the opening of their Wilmslow restaurant and were literally bursting at the seams with customers all desperate for a slice of the action. In a bid to quickly resolve the less than ideal situation of having to turn customers away they approached us to design a decked seating area, located to the front of their premises, that would provide additional covers for those wishing to dine al fresco. In keeping with the cosmopolitan vibe of Wilmslow a sleek, contemporary design was agreed upon with some additional features in the form of bespoke planter displays; providing an element of privacy and a retractable canopy to offer shelter from the UK's variable weather.

The Process:

The first phase of this project took place on-site where we began by setting out the footprint of the outdoor dining area and the erection of the framework on which the black composite decking boards would sit. The decking boards were next to be positioned and secured in place before we headed off-site, to set about constructing the bespoke planters. This element of the design was handmade in our workshop; all timbers were treated to prevent damage from the elements and to ensure the longevity of the structure before then being painted with coats of a specially mixed and complementing black paint - achieving a perfect match to the composite decking boards and a uniform finish. Timbers were next cut to size and constructed into the planter formation, as per our client's specification, before being transported to the Wilmslow site for final installation.

The Result

The Al fresco decking area was a quick, cost-effective and relatively pain-free solution to our clients' issue; there was no impact to the inside of the premises and so their usual service level was not disrupted during the work. Extremely satisfied not just from the large number of delicious pizzas we got to sample from Wood Fire Smokes fantastic menu but also that we had a hand in ensuring that many others got to enjoy a piece of the pie, we were delighted to be asked back to project manage the renovation of WFS's newly acquired premises in Handforth; a new takeaway establishment to bring even more pizza to the masses!!!
