Designing a Polish restaurant in the UK

Hi,
im a final year interior design student at the university of huddersfield and i am designing a Polish restaurant aimed at British people to give them an introduction to Polish cultures and traditions. (See my previous topic -

Visual of the bar which has images of Poland and Britain to show the two contries closer together

Visual of bar seating. the glass arches give an idea of a vaulted ceiling which are in many Krakow buildings. the flowers are said to represent hospitality in Polish traditions.

downstairs is a bar area selling vodka and polish beer.

Upstairs dining is for large groups who have never tried Polish food before.

Upstairs is an open kitchen so the diners can see the food being prepaired.

Wall feature is cut leather in the style of Wycinanki.

The stars upstairs are taken from the tradition that the Christmas eve meal is eaten when the first star is in the sky.

Open kithen area

if any of the details abouve are wrong please let me know, i'v have taken the information from books and web-sites but they are not always 100%.

any comments or suggestions would be a huge help, thank you =)

this is deffinatly the idea i want to go for, keep it modern and fresh but still incorporating traditional polish elements (but not in a tacky way)

i just strugling on which traditional elements are the most important to focus on to really get the culture and feel of poland across.

anyone got any ideas on the traditions that are most important about the polish culture

the restaurant won't actually be build its my final major project for university.
but i am pretending that the restaurant will be on west st in the city center because there are already a number of bars and restaurants in this area and the transport links are really good.
