Hi,

I am currently going through the design stage of refurbishing a restaurant in Brixton. There are a few things I would really like to give a carpenter(s) based in Brixton who can do the following:

I basically need a large table built to a bespoke design. Has to be good craftsmanship not fall apart after a year, chunky, funky and spunky for a restaurant in Brixton.

I also need a suspended wood beam/panel built to house some downlights (set into the wood) for dining table spots. Used wood with character attached to tension wires from ceiling, that sort of thing.

Slated wooden ceiling panels. ie. Thin stripes of wood to make up a panel (like a grid) suspended again from ceiling. (Having a nightmare trying to find either a pre built system or carpenter who has experience doing this)

Lastly, looking for someone who can do fret work panels. Check out www.Jali.co.uk, that sort of thing.

I hope this makes sense.
If anyone knows I would be very grateful.

Many thanks
Pachamama

Was not sure whether to say but can't see any harm. It's the The Satay Bar

Having a bit of a chin lift and tummy tuck. New menu (same style), new exterior/interior, staying with the casual angle that sort of thing. Been in development for a few months now.

Will be sympathetic, but definitely no bling ie. not trying to hard/contrived if you get what i mean.

Also looking for a stencil artist, think Banksy.

Thanks! - anyone?

Have you tried the bloke in the arches in Herne Hill (behind the dry cleaners by the station, but not the timber yard... I've forgotten his number, but he's there most weekdays and saturday mornings.

You still looking? There's a family friend who does shop fitting for usually quite upmarket (fashion) brands, specialising in the carpentry side of things if I remember correctly.

No idea if his company will be exactly what you're looking for if I'm honest, but he's Norbury based - pm me and I can find out a little more on your behalf
