COSMO Oxford
Oxford, UK
Created by Tom Chan with branches nationwide, COSMO is a critically acclaimed restaurant group that rivals high end buffet restaurants more commonly found in 5 star hotels, which are popular in the Far East.
It opened its first restaurant in 2003. Since then, the Group has enjoyed continuous growth and expansion. With 16 locations and many more planned for 2016 and beyond, the COSMO Group serves thousands of customers every day, making it one of the UK’s largest restaurant groups (by volume).
Robert Angell have been asked to redefine the brand to bring it more upscale in terms of look and feel and to reflect the East meets West concept. Having experience in development programmes of expansion Robert Angell are able to deliver on time and budget these supersize restaurants of 250 covers in sites that average 6,000 square foot.
The theme is contrasting textures and tomes that complement each other. Pale and dark oak timbers set off against slate and stone walls make for a durable and exclusive feel without alienating the guests. The buffets are in contrasting white terrazzo with blackened steel gantries showing off the fresh produce which is used by the chefs.
We are proud to be involved with Cosmo which recognises that its brand needed the assistance of our skills and experience to take it to the next stage in its ongoing development.
