The Broadview Solution:
Having provided outdoor cover solutions for the likes of Rick Stein Restaurants, The Sandbanks Hotel, and Dorset brewery pub chain Hall and Woodhouse, the team at Broadview drew upon all of its experience to propose an innovative, unique, fully weather adaptable outside covered area.
The team proposed two large parasols that would provide enough outside space so the number of tables would be financially viable, yet maintain the distance required by government Covid laws. The two parasols would be a vibrant turquoise, to bring a splash of stylish colour to the front of the pub.
To accompany the parasols, Broadview suggested vertical guillotine glass by Habitat Win to serve as a wind and rain barrier. The staff at The Old Inn would also be able to lower or raise the glass in line with weather conditions.
Completing the outside space, heating and lighting would be built into the parasol structures. Customers would be able to turn on the heating as and when they required it. The parasols would also remain fully collapsible, so they could repurpose the space if they wanted to.
