Exciting new project for one of our favourite pubs!

We've recently had the pleasure of completing a special project for the Brownlow Inn. It was a privilege to be able to work with them as it is one of our favourite places to eat as a family. We have been going there for family celebratory meals for years including our engagement and pre-wedding night, so as you can imagine, it holds lots of special memories. So we couldn't be more proud to see some of our furniture taking pride of place in their bar eating area.
