Will Devlin, founder of Acre a group of purpose-driven restaurants in Kent, and Birchwood Taywell (Bib Gourmand) collaborated with guest experience specialists Levy and its venue partner The Conduit, a community of global changemakers with a members’ club.

This new hospitality offering will launch to the public in two phases over the coming months. The rollout begins with a unique café and wine bar concept in early summer, followed by the autumn debut of a reimagined rooftop restaurant offering an à la carte dining experience.

Devlin said: “Having enjoyed a long-standing relationship with Levy, I know together, Acre, Levy and The Conduit share a passion for impact, sustainability, meaningful connection and world-class hospitality and this strategic partnership represents an incredible synergy of aligned values and purpose. We are very excited to bring a little piece of the Kentish countryside to the city.”

Meat will come from Acre’s own butchery, Block, allowing full transparency and whole animal use; fish is sourced with the same integrity as meat, only responsibly caught British seafood is used; vegetables sit at the centre of the plate, not as garnish but as substance.

Much of the produce is grown close to home in Kent and Sussex with a focus on soil health, flavour and resilience. Imperfect, seasonal vegetables are embraced, allowing the ingredient to dictate how it is cooked rather than forcing uniformity.

Levy chief executive Jon Davies commented: “We believe the future of hospitality lies at the intersection of purpose and experience. This collaboration with Will Devlin and The Conduit is a powerful example of what’s possible when values, creativity and operational expertise come together. It’s about raising the bar for sustainable dining while delivering an experience guests genuinely love.”
