Restaurant
The summer restaurant is set within six
‘marquee drums’ which provide dining for one
hundred guests. The drums have a fabric exterior which
can be lifted or lowered to create varying degrees of
‘al fresco’ dining. The structures are designed
to be easily demountable and their gaiety contrasts with
the fomality of Chamber’s neo-classical stone facade.
