ABOUT
Background
In 1987 interior designers Marilyn Parker and Vin Roberts had the idea to create a new kind of design consultancy that would bring exciting, business focused design to the hospitality and leisure industries.
Since that time Parker Roberts Design has grown to be a multidisciplinary team of professionals, dedicated to producing compelling and practical design solutions for a wide mix of clients in the food service/hospitality/leisure industries.
Philosophy
We believe that design is an immensely powerful marketing tool. If your business is already delivering quality, value and service, good design can add to the equation. It can put distance between you and your competition. It will communicate your values to your customers and staff. In short, it will add value to your proposition.
Having learned that often the best concepts originate within our client organisations, we work with them to realise their ideas, by introducing our combination of innovation, creativity and experience into the project team, ensuring a successful outcome.

Testimonials
“Parker Roberts are able to visualise my thoughts and visions when it comes to restaurant designs. Their expertise allows them to listen and then translate our vision into a client facing design. Being able to talk through a design with a client with drawings that look life like is a great asset to have and makes selling the vision a more real experience.”
Robert Davis – Sodexo Food Services
“I have worked closely with Parker Roberts on the development of several projects, using their expertise in food service and display and linking this to new technologies in menu and product presentation. Their design for this site and the detailed counter development involved on other projects, both
in the UK and USA has been invaluable to the expansion of the Knead Street Deli brand.”
Darren Thompson – Senior Executive Chef
“Working with PRDP has been a refreshing experience. From conception through to fulfilling my Clients brief, they were there every step of the way with new ideas and solutions to help make the process run as smoothly as possible.”
Loraine Golding – UK Operations Director
“What I appreciated most about working with Vin and his team at Parker Roberts was their ability to cut through the predictable politics of the project, keep everyone happy, and deliver the expected results on time and crucially on budget.”
Tracy Stanton – Corporate Services Account Manager
“A few years ago, Parker Roberts Design worked with us to remodel the Rendezvous Restaurant. More recently they helped us refurbish and re-equip our commercial kitchen. Their vast experience and knowledge was invaluable and we were able to complete the project on time, within budget, and end up with a kitchen we are justifiably proud of and that works like a dream. Of particular benefit to us was the enthusiasm and real interest in fresh food that Vin Roberts brought to the scheme, highly important to enable us to fulfil our ambitions. We found them great to work with and highly professional in all they did.”
Charles Secrett – Secretts Farm Shop
“It was a pleasure working with Parker Roberts on the design of the shop. I’ve always been thrilled with it and we get lots of great feedback from our customers. Now, having been open a few weeks and realizing how well the interior works for us, I’ve grown to appreciate their expertise and experience even more.”
Richard Garcia – Cook & Garcia
“It was a pleasure to work with Parker Roberts on this project. While I feel the finished design speaks for itself, the PRDP team showed real understanding of the operator’s needs and chased down those all important details that make such a difference on a day to day basis”.
Rupert Harris - Catering Manager South East, Unilever UK Limited
“We have worked with Parker Roberts on many retail, hotel, club and restaurant projects. Vin's depth of experience and savvy has been irreplaceable, solving design, operational and planning problems almost before they arise. PRDP are also truly creative in a way that is actually
very rare.”
David Kerfoot – Tangent
