Signs are good for new restaurant

1st November 2008

The Winery is located in the former Abbey Inn, previously the monastic infirmary associated with Burton Abbey Church dating back to the 14th century, noted for its significant national archaeological interest, and protected as a 'Scheduled Ancient Monument'.

For buildings which retain this special status, Hardy Signs pay special attention to the selection of materials and their fixings, in order to protect valuable wall surfaces, like stone work, whilst complementing the attractive naturally available colours.

“Nik Hardy and his team have created signs that work sympathetically with our new interiors, complementing the style and luxury that has been introduced. This is a strong statement of the design and execution that they deliver”, said James Kerry, from Burton Inns.

In conjunction with the appointed interior designers, Hardy Signs introduced its latest styles, which maintain the traditional feel of this building, whilst displaying a contem- porary theme. This means that 21st century advertising and branding does not look out of place in the venerable building. “For the opening of this prestigious new bar and
restaurant, we selected the highest quality brushed stainless steel to effectively display the Winery’s corporate image”, pointed out Hardy Signs MD, Nik Hardy.

The Winery is the latest venture by Burton Inns, led by Chairman Roger Kerry, which also operate the Branston Golf and Country Club. The newly designed interior has added to the original style and ambience of the Inn, with the curved ceilings adding grandeur not found in a modern building.

In the main bar, every visitor’s eyes will be drawn to the 2m high acrylic wall art, specially launched by Hardy Signs at The Winery.

Mounted off of the wall, the Moet & Chandon image is highlighted by a single spotlight that strikingly illuminates the central character.

“The finished wall art is completely in keeping with the stained glass windows and stone walls”, added Nik Hardy; “And, the images incorporated in the wall display in the restaurant, with its glass panels and use of antique mirrors, all adds to the feeling of luxury and opulence”.
