Restaurant brand design Stratton House

Stratton House is a 17th-century landmark hotel in the heart of Biggleswade, Bedfordshire — known for character, history, and a classic hospitality experience.

When Sonia and Fiyaz took over at the end of 2019, they set out to modernise the offer while keeping the building’s distinctive features. Their focus was to revive the bar, restaurant, bedrooms and function spaces — creating a stronger setting for dining, stays, conferences and events.

Our brief was to refine the inherited branding, so it matched this new direction, then roll that identity out consistently across the website, social media and key printed touchpoints (menus and promotional pieces).

The hotel already had an established website and Facebook presence, with longer-term plans for a full redesign. In the short term, the priority was improving usability and elevating the look and feel — without creating work that would need undoing later.

We rebuilt the site so the codebase was clean and future-ready, and ensured it worked properly across mobile, tablet and desktop.

To lift the presentation, we commissioned fresh photography (menu, interiors, team) and directed the shoot, creating a stronger visual library for the website, social posts and print.

Print was a key part of bringing the rebrand to life on-site. We designed seasonal menu templates (summer, winter and Christmas) that carried the new typography and colour palette through consistently.

We also produced promotional pieces — including an A5 flyer and poster — to support specific campaigns and local marketing.
