THE PUBLIC
PLATE
Scaling affordable dining
Rebuilding social connection
A new kind of restaurant network, built on our need for belonging.
Our Vision
To create public dining halls that become our common ground and woven into how we live, meet, and connect.
Belonging is created through agency, not entitlement; inviting guests to play a small part in how the space works, in ways that strengthen community and maintain affordability.
What is a Public Restaurant
Public Restaurants make eating out well affordable and familiar; something more of us can enjoy, more often.
Get to Know Us
A Public Restaurant offers the quality and comfort of casual dining at a single, affordable price; designed for the scale and flow of a canteen.
​
From high streets to campuses, Public Restaurants could become the foundation of how we eat outside of the home; joyful, affordable dining halls woven into daily life turning good food and social connection into a public habit once again.
​
Neighbourhood by neighbourhood, they could support local growers, strengthen supply chains, improve diets, and enrich local economies; growing not as a chain, but as an institution.
Because our places are calling for more from our buildings.
