The Orchard Hotel Bar
Client Name
Value
Vision redesigned the bar at the Orchard Hotel to completely transform the guest arrival experience. The new layout rotates the bar 90 degrees to make it a focal point of the lobby, improving visibility and easing congestion at check-in. The result is a welcoming space that balances style with function, featuring a ribbed MDF exterior, LED-lit granite countertop, and precision stainless-steel fabrication by CED. Behind the scenes, a carefully planned warewashing area, double jockey stations, and future-proofed beer dispense system make service faster and more efficient.
The finished installation blends aesthetics and practicality, creating a high-end, durable space that the hotel team and guests immediately embraced.
Tavern on the Quays, Sheffield
Sandman Signature Hotels
£290k
Following the success of Vision’s ceda award-nominated project at Sandman Hotel Newcastle, the team was appointed to deliver the banquet kitchen, main kitchen and ballroom bar at the Sandman Signature Sheffield Quays Hotel. Alongside the well-publicised Tavern on the Quays bar, these larger installations showcase Vision’s expertise in high-capacity, multi-use hospitality spaces, combining refined design with robust functionality to support seamless service throughout the hotel.
The Manchester College
Harpurhey Campus
£35k
Installed in November 2025, this project builds on Vision’s long-standing relationship with The Manchester College following our CEDA Grand Prix Award-winning work at the main city centre campus. The Harpurhey installation demonstrates the same attention to detail and client care that underpin every Vision project, and reflects the continued trust placed in us to deliver across multiple sites, including the ongoing Openshaw Campus scheme.
Seaton House Hotel
Valour Hospitality
£580k
Vision delivered a technically complex kitchen and bar installation for the five-star Seaton House Hotel, overlooking the Old Course in St Andrews. Working alongside chef Roy Brett and operator Valor Hospitality, the team designed and installed a premium Ambach cook suite, oyster bar and live Board Room dining area within a challenging listed building. Bespoke fabrication, careful logistics and a phased installation ensured flawless results in one of Scotland’s most prestigious hospitality settings. The project was shortlisted for the ceda Grand Prix Design Award.
