Nightclubs and Restaurants
"restaurants should be about having fun"
Peyton came to London while he was still a student. He ran two successful nightclubs in the Eighties, The Can in Brighton, and RAW in London then hit on the idea of creating a premium drinks importing company. He masterminded the UK distribution of Absolut vodka, Japanese beer Sapporo_brewery and a number of other brands, revolutionizing the UK drinks industry and creating the ‘Super Premium’ spirit sector that was to kick start British cocktail culture.
Peyton moved into his real love, restaurants, in the early Nineties, with the opening of the Atlantic Bar & Grill. Famous for its art deco interiors and modern British menu, the restaurant was an overnight success and was followed closely by restaurants Coast, Mash, Isola and the Admiralty at Somerset House.
