We are proud to have a long-standing relationship with Auckland’s ever-popular Williams Eatery. Located in the heart of Wynyard Quarter, the family-owned and operated eatery is praised for serving thoughtful dishes within its beautiful setting.
At the helm of the eatery, you’ll find innovative hospitality brothers, Charles and Patrick Williams. When the eatery opened in 2018, their vision was to create a space where people could relax and connect. They wanted the eatery to have a pared-back yet warm aesthetic, creating an oasis from the hustle and bustle of modern life.
To achieve this, they drew design inspiration from Japan and Denmark, as well as New Zealand eateries they admire, such as Britomart’s Amano and Loretta in Wellington. Values of simplicity are complemented with considered products from New Zealand designers.
Hand-blown glass pendants from Monmouth Studio light the space from above and dishes are plated on handcrafted ceramics from Fiona Mackay and Hayley Bridgford. A welcoming aesthetic is further achieved with warm oak seating from Città’s Radial furniture range. The chair is BIFMA-tested to ensure longevity from high traffic-use.
Over the years, Williams Eatery has continued to evolve. In recent times, they’ve launched a retail space with curated ceramics and grocery items. Their ethos sees them aligning with local artists and like-minded brands, such as Coffee Supreme and Città.
We look forward to continuing to work alongside Charles and Patrick and supporting their hospitality ventures.
