Tekne were subcontracted to fit out Plum & Spilt Milk, the hotel’s dining car-styled all-day dining room. The intention was to return the Great Northern hotel to its former glory, and the grand curved Italianate 1854 Lewis Cubitt building called for mirrored ceilings, chandeliers and wall panels to stay in keeping with its Victorian origins.
