Exterior storefront of Mildreds Covent Garden on St. Martin’s Lane — fit-out by ECSEC restaurant fit-out contractors showcasing the refreshed façade and outdoor seating.

Project Overview

At ECSEC Ltd, we were proud to deliver the complete fit-out of Mildreds Restaurant in Covent Garden, one of London’s most vibrant dining destinations. Working within a listed building, our team combined technical precision with creative craftsmanship to realise a bold and contemporary interior that reflects the Mildreds brand ethos of inclusivity, sustainability, and quality.

The project required a sensitive approach to the existing structure, ensuring that every intervention respected the building’s character while delivering a fully functional, high-performance hospitality environment.

Scope of Works

Our turnkey fit-out included:

  • Full strip-out and preparatory works within a heritage building

  • Structural adaptations and ceiling coordination with MEP services

  • Bespoke joinery, including custom bar counters, booth seating, and feature wall panelling

  • Installation of specialist lighting and decorative finishes to achieve Mildreds’ signature ambience

  • Integration of back-of-house kitchen and service areas, designed for operational efficiency

  • Final decoration, flooring, and signage in line with the client’s brand guidelines

Each element was carefully planned to ensure seamless delivery within a tight central London programme, coordinating with multiple contractors and suppliers.

Sustainability & Quality

Sustainability was central to the Mildreds Covent Garden fit-out. ECSEC Ltd implemented a material reuse strategy wherever possible and prioritised low-VOC finishes, LED lighting, and energy-efficient systems. This approach aligned perfectly with Mildreds’ commitment to ethical dining and environmental responsibility.

Our quality assurance process ensured that all finishes, fixtures, and fittings met ECSEC’s high internal standards and the client’s expectations for durability and aesthetic precision.
