Lighting design consultancy Pritchard Themis has balanced light and shade to powerful effect at the latest outlet of London restaurant chain Temper. The latest addition to the Temper family of London restaurants is located in Shoreditch and it joins its counterpart locations in Soho, Covent Garden and the City to expand Chef David Lagonell’s offering. As seen on Celebrity MasterChef UK, the establishment is known for its open-fire cooking, steaks, tacos, bottomless brunch, Sunday roasts and tequila cocktails. Nestled in between Old Street and Shoreditch High Street stations, the space is divided into two levels. The ground floor features a cocktail bar with happy hours and DJ sets, the ideal venue for an exclusive party or after-work drinks. The basement is home to the restaurant, with the focal centre point being the theatrical open fire pit. Here guests can secure a counter seat, watching the chefs at work preparing and smoking food over the fire. Diners can be truly immersed in the flavourful experience and aromas, whether they are visiting the restaurant for the smokehouse, barbecue bottomless brunch or luxury Sunday roast.
