Swiss Butter is a highly successful international restaurant design concept with a compelling brand identity.  For its first European outpost – now open in London’s Holborn – our collaborative approach ensured the design fully captured and translated this vision.

Caulder Moore’s dedication to meeting deadlines and their impeccable project management skills were truly commendable. Despite the complexities inherent in restaurant design, they managed to deliver results on time without compromising on quality. This reliability reassured us that we were in capable hands throughout the engagement.

We are immensely grateful for the positive experience we had working with Caulder Moore and are thrilled with the final result they delivered for our restaurant.

Named after its unique ‘secret’ sauce, Swiss Butter is a community-driven brand, akin to a much-loved Diner where a broad diversity of people gathers to enjoy a meal.  The variety of seating offers different dining experiences: high stools for faster and casual; padded banquettes for a slower, more relaxed vibe. The challenge for us was to reimagine the space for London’s fast paced restaurant scene without loosing their original concept or charm.
