Markilux pergola awning creates perfect alfresco dining area for Gastro Pub in Maida Vale.

The proprietors of Gastro Pub, The Truscott Arms in Little Venice, Maida Vale, Andrew & Mary Fishwick had decided to upgrade parts of the Pub and rebuild the garden area to form a non smoking Alfresco dining area. The area, on three levels, is enclosed by a mixture of buildings, timber formwork and accessed via an external stairway. In consultation with the owners, and their builders the final design has worked very well.

We installed a retractable remote control operation markilux pergola awning: 6.9 meters wide x 5.8 meter projection.

In addition to the markilux pergola awning and to warm up the ambiance we supplied and fitted a pair of fully dimmable Hotspot Light & heater units each delivering 3kW of infra red heat. On an upper deck we installed a further Markilux 990 awning and Hotspot heater. All awning fabrics a luscious red. To finish beautiful hanging garden was fitted to the back wall to stunning effect.

Our awnings were only part of the refurbishment of the garden which included a compact service area with glass washing , drink cooling cabinets , and sink . We area was covered with a new deck and tables and chairs . The result is stunning and very successful.
