The Guard House

Situated at Woolwich, the Guard House was formally provided accommodation for a detachment of Artillery which has been restored and converted in to a premium pub and restaurant with a focus on craft beer and spirits and a menu which celebrates seasonal British grown produce.

With The Guard House’s focus on seasonality and craft, I creative a visual language that spoke to these values. I hand painted produce and used paper stocks and materials that fitted with this ethos. The colour palette was informed by the red of the old Artillery uniforms and the rich jewel tones on the painted produce.
