Kellas

School’s out. Kellas is open.

Manxonia House began life as a boys’ school in the 1800s. Today it’s Kellas: a café in the morning, a restaurant by evening, a place to celebrate and a pantry of local produce, all above Chapel Bay. The family behind it needed a brand that could hold all of that together, warm enough for a morning coffee and smart enough for a private dinner. We created the brand and the website, with every part designed to support one great customer experience.

The identity draws on the building’s original architectural details. The website covers everything Kellas offers, from online booking and afternoon tea to venue hire, in a tone that matches walking through the door.
