Thames Contracts have an excellent reputation for high-quality work in the café and restaurant sector in and around London. Here are five key reasons why you should use us for any café design and refurbishment in Potters Bar, Barnet, Borehamwood and many other locations in London and Hertfordshire, whether you want a complete refit or just a small reorganisation of your existing premises.
Our Experience and Reputation for Delivering on Time
We have been designing high-end restaurants, cafes and coffee shops for around three decades. In that time we have developed a reputation for delivering all our designs on time and on budget.

And, although other people will be involved in the process, we will project manage everything from start to finish. Therefore, you will have the comfort and convenience of having a single point of contact for the whole process.
Our Attention to Detail
It’s not just where people sit that is important. You also have to consider the frontage, to make it as attractive as possible so that people will want to come inside. It is also important not to forget the kitchens and back-office areas because you want to be an attractive place to work on top of somewhere people want to eat and drink.
We will factor all of these into the design and produce 3D images (if required) so that you can see how everything is going to look.
Our Use of Space-Saving Solutions
Space can be at a premium in many eating places, and is particularly true of cafes and coffee shops. The need for social distancing has also put a limit on the number of diners/drinkers that may be allowed in at any one time.
At Thames, we will design your café refurbishment/fitout with as many innovative and space-saving solutions as possible, such as wall-mounted eating shelves. We also specialise in glass partitions, which we have fitted in many projects in Potters Bar, Borehamwood, Barnet and other locations in London and Hertfordshire. The partition can create a bit more privacy (as well as help with COVID guidelines), if you use frosted glass. Alternatively, clear glass will create the impression of a light and airy space that solid partitions can’t provide.
Maximising Income without Skimping on Quality
We are conscious that you need to get as many customers in as possible while complying with the law. So you need to make your café or restaurant as inviting as possible. This means not just comfortable seating and tables, but also clean and hygienic bathrooms, and a cloakroom to help visitors feel comfortable while eating.
You also need to make sure there are no ‘problem areas’ such as tables in draughty areas or tables or seating too close to the main entrance or any bathrooms. All of this can be incorporated into the design.
We use a network of tried and trusted craftsmen and women to carry out the work, so it will be of top quality too.
Regulatory Compliance
Before, this used to mean having the correct amount of WCs and washrooms, efficient ventilation and air extraction systems, as well as fire exits and gangways – all of which are required by law.
Now it also means being COVID-compliant – having sufficient space between tables, a designated pathway through the restaurant, and having enough sanitising stations. We will help build in these requirements into your refit or redesign, and even help you submit a planning application should this be required.
