With spring in full swing you should now have your summer menu sorted!
Menu planning shouldn’t be reactive,
it should be structured and planned well in advance.
Using seasonal produce & engaging key food suppliers to ensure great margins.
You’ll have your crowd favorites, some fresh new season items and one or two “hero dishes” that set you apart from the rest.
Menu planning & implementation is something we regularly work on with our clients. We also enjoy the research that goes into menu development 😉

After years of perfecting our craft in hospitality fitouts we decided to step out of our comfort zone & expand our services to include residential & commercial spaces.

Introducing the design side of what we do here at Tabletalks.
16/03/2023
For the past year here at Tabletalks we’ve been talking about splitting our services.
We’ve been operating this way for a while but our customer face didn’t reflect that so the time felt right to introduce studio_recess_ and bring TableTalks back to its roots in Hospitality Development.
Studio Recess will be all aspects of design for our projects in Hospitality, Residential & Commercial spaces
&
Tabletalks will continue to consult in all aspects of Hospitality Development & Operations.

Custom pieces…
We love to help our clients create custom items to suit their fit outs.
Often light fittings & furniture but also random necessary items that help pull the whole interior theme and brand together.

Loving the large scale pattern & unconventional ways he achieves them.

One of my favorite projects to date! Because it has so much history for Craig & I.
This site was a cafe started by our good friends many many years ago, and an iconic Hamilton cafe of its time!
Then we bought it and added it to our boutique cafe group Momento (many) years ago.
It was then sold a couple of times and had become very tired looking until the new owner decided to bring us back and redesign it - breathing new life into this beautiful site!
A fresh new concept, fresh new look and loads of happy people (customers, friends & local businesses) who have great memories of this site through the years!

We recently renovated the building our offices are in.
The exterior was stripped of all sign boards and building details highlighted through a more striking, modern colour palette.
A metal screen feature was also added around the lower platform in order to hide aircon units and reduce the build up of rubbish around the building.
We’re pretty happy with the result!

Bunker Cafe 2020
Built on lake Te Koo Utu in Cambridge we took our theme from the hidden fuel bunker that was buried in the area in WW II.
Brutalist, army bunker interior detailing was used throughout.
We placed 2 internal pods within the space housing the kitchen and the toilets and clad these to look like exterior bunkers.
The seating was created to look like a modern day mess hall with custom banquettes by
We worked with awesome contractors & suppliers on this job in a very difficult time (lockdown 1.0).

Sentinel Outpost
A foyer style cafe in the new Union Square Hamilton and a satellite site for the main Sentinel cafe.
The brief was to keep the styling linked to the existing site but give the new site its own personality and create an easy pick and go cafe that has easy flow for customers moving through the foyer.
Deep blues, rich browns and brass were brought through from Sentinel Cafe and mixed with features of the new foyer - warm timber accents and fluted panelling.
While the seating wraps around the curvy walls, mimicking the shape of the Waikato River and creating private pockets for people to dine, meet or catch a few quiet minutes alone.

WE LOVE...
Chairs...
I can't go past a unique chair, whether it be an arm chair, occasional chair or dining chair they can often be an almost art-like addition to your space.
The one that's got my attention at the moment is the 'Roly Poly' chair by British designer Faye Toogood.
People either love it or hate it but we think it ticks all the boxes...
interesting, unique, comfy & a sculptural statement for your home!

WE LOVE....
Tiled furniture and vanities. So much so we thought we would put one in our studio.
What do you think?

The Chilli house - Cambridge from 2019.
This site was extremely narrow and super long so to make the most of the narrow space we clustered Chinese lantern lights all the way down the banquette seating drawing the eye down the seating corridor and creating soft diffused light throughout.
The entrance was given amazing impact with a custom mural by Pauly.B!

Feeling crippled by colour choice? Sheen levels? Paint types?
Have a little sneak peek of what we provide our clients in our colour consultation packs. We can help you answer all those questions.

Archies Cafe from 2019.
The coffee service counter sits seperate to the main counter and has a takeaway window to the side.
At the time this was a fun feature for takeaways but who knew how incredibly handy and important it was about to come with the covid 19 pandemic and the need for contactless service.

At the Tabletalks Studio we nabbed ourselves a Fazeek water carafe to adorn our desk but still covet the wave glasses.
How pretty would they be with a summer cocktail!
