The Venue

Warm, Modern & Expressive

The interiors at Twelve by Jacob are designed to feel warm, modern and quietly expressive. Deep navy panelling, soft lighting and textured fabrics create an atmosphere that’s instantly welcoming, while patterned details and curated artwork add a hint of storytelling.

As guests move through the restaurant, the mood shifts gently from cosy corners to lighter, more open spaces, each with its own personality. Thoughtful touches, the glow of a wall light, a mix of rich tones and uplifting colours all work together to create a dining experience that feels both relaxed and memorable.
