DAPHNE'S RISES FROM THE ASHES

After a disastrous fire led to its shut-down in the Spring of 2014, the new gloriously refurbished Daphne’s Restaurant, one of the jewels of Richard Caring’s Caprice Holdings portfolio of restaurants, recently re-opened to gastronomical and architectural design plaudits alike – just in time for Daphne’s to celebrate her 50th Anniversary. Bravo!

To commemorate the occasion 50 British celebrities each designed a Venetian mask in honour of the restaurant’s Italian heritage. The art work of celebs such as Dame Shirley Bassey, Pierce Brosnan and Richard E Grant, to name but a few, adorned the revitalised, Martin Brudnizki designed Daphne’s. Various charities have benefited from the auction of the donated works…

ask-re’s contribution has been to deal with the property leasing and property cost issues including during the renovation:

Reinstatement advice, insurance claim matters, rent and rates savings Lease negotiations and the securing if new long-term occupational leases of the premises

This is the sort of multi-disciplined, real estate problem-solving consultancy through which we regularly add real value to our clients business and property interests.We are delighted to have assisted the renaissance of Daphne’s and wish the restaurant and the rest of the Caprice Holdings family, all the very best for the future.
