Ethan’s Japanese Steakhouse
Lincoln
Architect: Heronswood Architectural Design
Part of the Damon’s Restaurant & Hotel Group, Ethan’s was designed to specialise in Teppanyaki, a style of Japanese cuisine that uses an iron griddle to cook food. The word teppanyaki being derived from teppan, which means iron plate, and yaki, which means grilled, broiled or pan-fried.
As the food is prepared at individual cook-islands throughout the restaurant it was crucial that any solution met the challenging brief. Caswell were called on to design, manufacture and install bespoke kitchen & restaurant extract canopies to achieve:
- Complete extraction of the by-products of cooking to protect fixtures, fittings, carpets and diners from smoke, cooking oils and odours
- Control of desirable thermal and acoustic conditions within the new restaurant & kitchen
- Aesthetically pleasing design to create the key focal point and dining experience
- Compliance with all current legislation encompassing design best-practice
Caswell Project Manager, Ian McDonald and the team worked closely with Heronswood Director, Kevin Coupland from detailed M&E design stage onwards. The full HVAC specification and services provided by Caswell on this project includes:

Ethan’s was opened in May 2017 to great acclaim in the locality, partly due to the inspiration of local charity hero, Ethan Maull. Along with the ‘off-brand’ Restaurant name, it was decided to pay tribute to Ethan by using his favourite colour - green - to provide the vibrant LED lighting.
