Hub Box has announced the opening of its 11th venue, with a new restaurant at the Royal William Yard in Plymouth which will act as the brand’s flagship restaurant.
The “historic” space has a bar and a 180-seat restaurant, as well as seating indoors and outside, which overlooks the waterfront.
The interior is reportedly inspired by the South West coast and surf culture, with “light and fresh tones”, that showcase local artists, makers and suppliers. Stephen Smith, a Plymouth-based contemporary artist has been credited for creating the artwork.
The brand has taken “every opportunity to reuse, recycle and repurpose” , as the joinery for the back bar is made from recycled oak planks. Table tops have also been made with reclaimed oak by Inside Out Furniture. The kitchen pass wall is made from recycled shipping container components, and the toilets have reclaimed doors. A majority of the furniture is original mid-century period vintage by Merchant & Found.
Hub Box has already recruited 40 people for its Plymouth branch, which includes front of house, bar, kitchen, and management.
Richard Boon, founder and CEO of Hub Box, said: “This has been a passion project; taking a historic building, respecting all that makes it special, and bringing our distinct style to make somewhere totally unique.
“We’ve embraced the coast and local area – in look, feel and the suppliers we’ve worked with. We know customers will love the setting, service, and of course, our signature burgers, barbeque, beer and good vibes.”
