Arch65 is fast becoming known as one of the trendiest, most exciting dining experiences in all of London. Headed by celebrated chef Keith Goddard, Arch65 is situated within a railway arch in Battersea, with the former industrial site now transformed into an elegant dining space. Having frequently worked at fine dining venues across the UK, White Light was called upon to provide the production support for Arch65’s official launch.
Arch65 offers a bespoke experience for anyone who dines there. Keith and his team work closely with each client to ensure that every element of their experience is exactly what they require. Keith comments: “There are no menus at Arch65. Rather, everything is idiosyncratic, tailored to the individual client’s needs. Whether it’s a particular dish, a certain wine or even a custom-made flower arrangement, we want to ensure that their experience at Arch65 is exactly what they want”.
A unique dining experience at Arch65 not only comes through the food but the atmosphere within the restaurant. Therefore, when launching the space, Keith wanted to ensure that the production elements matched his high standards.
Alicia Earls, WL’s Business Development Manager, comments: “For the official launch of Arch65, we were asked to supply the complete production solutions, from lighting to audio to staging. Working alongside Maison de Fleurs, who created an incredible floral display, we were able to provide a set-up that precisely fulfilled Keith’s brief”.
There were 150 guests in attendance for the launch which took place on 29th September. Opening at 6pm, they were presented with arrival drinks before being given an exclusive viewing of Arch65 where they were shown the space’s potential for private dining. There was also a DJ performing throughout the evening.
Alicia adds: “Having a fine dining evening beneath railway arches is certainly a very different, but ultimately highly unique, experience. As a company that’s local to Arch65, we were able to provide all of the equipment required and work within the tight schedule, ensuring that Keith and his team could focus on entertaining their guests while we oversaw the production elements”.
Arch65 is now available for exclusive hire, for seated dinners of up to 24 people or drinks and canapés for up to 50. There is also an open plan kitchen where guests are invited to witness their dinner being prepared by Keith and his team of expert chefs.
Keith states: “At Arch65, we offer a culinary experience that simply isn’t available anywhere else. The arched space provides the perfect environment for a bespoke evening’s dining – something that was showcased at the launch. We are really grateful to WL for providing their support and making the evening an unforgettable one”.
Alicia states: “Arch65 is such an exciting location and it was great for us to work in such a unique space. At WL, we are keen to support interesting venues whose main objective is to provide their customers with a service and experience like no other. Keith’s vision and passion is both palpable and inspiring and we look forward to supporting him again in the future”.
