Brief

Having created the brand and website for luxury UK holiday park company, Wayfind Escapes, we moved onto developing a sub-brand for Pennant Park’s newly refurbished restaurant and bar. Alongside the brand creation, the client wanted a full suite of menus and support with the launch to ensure they opened with a bang.

A stylishly designed cocktail menu from Salt + Earth Bistro, featuring a modern, artistic cover with abstract brushstroke patterns in warm tones. The menu, partially visible, lists classic cocktails such as Passion Fruit Martini, Espresso Martini, Pink Martini, and Strawberry Daiquiri, along with a bottomless cocktail option. The menu rests on a deep blue linen cloth, with rustic pears in the background, adding a natural and cozy aesthetic.
A fun and engaging children’s menu from Salt + Earth Bistro, featuring a selection of kid-friendly mains like penne pasta, mac ‘n’ cheese, and mini burgers. The menu includes interactive activities such as a maze, a word search, and a spot-the-difference game to keep children entertained. Crayons and a colored pencil are placed on the table, ready for use. The design incorporates playful green illustrations and a friendly layout, making it an inviting dining experience for families.

The menu features a selection of brunch specials such as house breakfast, waffle eggs, berry pancakes, and churro lollipops, along with gourmet brunch burgers. A vintage copper pitcher and fresh greenery add to the cozy and inviting atmosphere of the setting. A beautifully designed restaurant interior featuring modern decor, plush blue velvet chairs, and wooden tables. The space is illuminated by unique, nature-inspired pendant lights resembling pine cones, and a large window provides natural lighting. Decorative shelving filled with vases and greenery enhances the cozy and inviting ambiance. Abstract graphic elements overlay the image, adding an artistic touch.

APPROACH

Having been newly refurbished as part of a multi-million pound investment, the restaurant has been transformed into a stunning destination to meet, eat and drink, with sweeping views over the golf course. So, we needed to create a sub-brand that felt just as luxurious.  

The name ‘Salt & Earth’ had been put forward by us during the initial brand development of Wayfind Escapes, and although they didn’t use it for the main brand name, they knew they’d want it for the restaurant and bar.

As a sub-brand to Wayfind Escapes, we wanted Salt & Earth to align perfectly whilst also being able to hold its own, so we set about creating an elegant, welcoming and luxury identity that naturally sits alongside the parent brand. 

With a food offering spanning breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner and kids’ meals, not to mention a bar serving tea, coffee, drinks and cocktails, we needed to design and produce a suite of menus that look beautiful and feel straightforward. We explored various routes to find the perfect design that encapsulates the Wayfind Escapes brand, with the added flair of Salt & Earth.

To boost loyalty, we also created reward cards and sent door drops to the local area with exclusive offers, encouraging the local community to make Salt & Earth their favourite place to be.

For the launch, we created awareness through campaigns across social media and emails, with lots of teasers showing beautiful CGI imagery of the refurbishment.
