Grasslands

Edinburgh creative agency 442 Design was contracted by Compass Group, who was awarded the catering contract for the eateries at Edinburgh Zoo, to create a design overhaul of the Zoo’s eateries in a bid to boost catering revenue.

442 took inspiration from the main animal habitats represented at the Zoo Rainforest, Grassland, Woodland and Oceans and Wetlands to create themed eating areas designed to enhance the customer experience.

Strong graphics, textures and insect details inspired by the animal kingdom have been integrated into the design, while the redesigned Jungle Foodcourt is expected to be completed by summer.

442 MD David Dunn said of the project: “By bringing global grazing habitats to life through design, and exploring how eating is linked to species survival, we will aim to strengthen Edinburgh Zoo's offering as it prepares to maximise on increased global attention.”
