With circus-style acts—dressed in items from the new line—performing throughout the space and displays placed on carts and bright orange-colored blocks, the catering for Ted Baker's Spring/Summer 2014 collection launch event provided an additional visual and entertainment element. For instance, parasols held dangling funnel cakes, and servers were trained to imitate tightrope walkers as they passed the bites.

Marquee-style lights that spelled out 'Drink Less' made for an ironic backdrop for the bar. Similarly, signature cocktails had playful names, including 'Eat More Fruit,' a libation made with Svedka Grapefruit Jalapeno vodka and melon liqueur.
