Restaurant Fit-Out Contractor in London
LCC designs and builds restaurants across London, from hot pot and Japanese BBQ flagships to sushi bars and fine dining. Architect-led design, commercial kitchens, extraction, M&E and landlord approvals are delivered by one team, from first sketch to opening day.
WHAT WE DO
We deliver turnkey restaurant fit-outs for operators, brands and franchise partners opening in London and across the UK and Europe. Our in-house architects and interior designers develop the concept and technical drawings, we manage landlord, planning and building-control approvals, and our site team builds the front of house, kitchen and back of house to programme.
Whether it is a shell unit in a shopping centre, the refurbishment of an existing restaurant or the next site in a brand rollout, you deal with one contractor and one point of contact.

OUR FIT-OUT PROCESS
01
BRIEF, SITE AND FEASIBILITY
We visit the unit, review the landlord pack and your brand standards, and check what the space needs: extraction routes, services capacity, drainage and planning. You get early advice on programme and budget before you commit.
02
DESIGN AND APPROVALS
Our architects and interior designers develop the layout, kitchen coordination, finishes and lighting, then prepare the drawings for landlord approval, planning and building control.
03
BUILD AND KITCHEN INSTALLATION
Our site managers run the works: strip-out, partitions, mechanical and electrical services, extraction, kitchen installation, joinery, finishes and signage, with weekly progress updates.
04
HANDOVER AND AFTERCARE
We test and commission the services, hand over certificates and O&M documents and support you through opening. Our maintenance team is available every day from 7am to 9pm.
RECENT RESTAURANT FIT-OUTS

HAIDILAO HOTPOT, PICCADILLY CIRCUS

RESTAURANT FIT-OUT FAQs
It depends on the size and condition of the unit, the kitchen and extraction requirements and the level of finish. Fitting out a shell-and-core unit with a full commercial kitchen costs considerably more than refreshing an existing restaurant. Send us your floor plan and brief and we will give you an early budget range before detailed design starts.
A refurbishment of an existing restaurant can take a few weeks on site, while a full fit-out of a shell unit with a new kitchen and extraction takes longer. Design, landlord approvals and planning often take as long as the build itself, so it pays to involve us early. We agree the programme with you around your target opening date.
