Whilst on Christmas holidays, I took a visit to 'The Kingham Plough', in order to see some restaurant branding first hand. I asked about things they have designed, and below you can see images of what I came across:
It seems they have a clear colour scheme and typeface that works over the brand, seamlessly between the interior and the products themselves. I intend to work with a clearly distinct colour, and also a distinctive typeface and logo. I feel that these three things are the most important choices, so intend on spending a lot of time making these choices.
