Urban Pie and Handmade Burger in Guardian Top 10

We were delighted to see today that two restaurants we’re very much proud of at 383 project have been featured in a Guardian top 10 list of restaurants in Birmingham. The icing on the cake was that Urban Pie (which we designed and have since produced all on and offline marketing for) was placed at number one. A big well done goes to the guys at both Handmade Burger Co and Urban Pie who make the food (which is obviously key!), but we’re sure the design helped a bit!

As an aside, a brand new Urban Pie has just opened this week in Leicester, so pop along to Highcross if you’re in the area.

Urban Pie Tees

We’ve just designed a batch of tees for Urban Pie. Since Urban Pie opened in Birmingham it’s become really popular and there’ll soon be another store opening in Leicester. The tees will be worn by staff and also be made available for purchase online.

.net magazine feature Urban Pie

Urban Pie is one of the showcase sites in this months .net magazine. It’s been out for a few days but we’ve only just managed to get one. Pick up a copy if you’re interested – we’re on page 66.

Urban Pie nominated in the Restaurant & Bar Design Awards

Further to our blog earlier this week about the new Urban Pie site, we’re pleased to say that an entry we made to the Restaurant & Bar Design Awards has been accepted!

Urban Pie has been listed in the Identity category on the site and will be judged through a combination of public votes and expert judges. If you thought that what we’ve done for Urban Pie was good and fares well against the other entries in this category then we’d really appreciate your votes! You will have to register to vote, but it should only take 30 seconds or so. As a design agency we’re not after votes to help boost our egos, but believe they can be a helpful sign to our clients that we’re doing our job ok! You can vote here. Thanks!

New site for Urban Pie

When we originally designed the interior for the Urban Pie restaurant we launched a basic web presence alongside which showed people a few interior shots and a sample menu.

Since then, Urban Pie has become an extremely popular venue and is due to be franchised at locations across the UK in the not too distant future.  As such, a website overhaul was in order to help the restaurant add regular content for all things ‘pie’ and facilitate more regular communication with pie fans. The new design also makes space for a blog, games section and introduces a few new illustrated characters in to the mix.
