Detail
Dinner is the brand new London based restaurant of Heston Blumenthal.
It's his first venture outside Bray, home to his triple Michelin starred Fat Duck restaurant, and it's headed up by the Executive Head Chef of the Fat Duck group Ashley Palmer-Watts.
Dinner is quite a different proposition to the Fat Duck, focussing on historic British dishes with a contemporary twist. The ethos is echoed thought the restaurant's interior decor, conceived as a 'subtle, elegant portrait – contemporary and innovative, yet mindful of tradition'. When Heston asked us to create a new website for the restaurant we set out to ensure these values were represented in the approach to the site design.
The intent was to create a very clean and functional user journey through the site that allowed customers to find out all the key information about the restaurant with ease. A horizontal swipe navigation device adds a contemporary detail to a simple site structure, while layout and typography are kept clean and simple with a nod towards historical classicism.
Since opening in early 2011, the restaurant has been getting phenomenal reviews. We’ve integrated a live booking system into the site, but good luck getting in!
