BAR ESSENTIALS

Whether you have a home bar or commercial pub, without the basic essentials, your bar will be incomplete, and visitors will not be impressed. For that reason, we stock the necessary bar essentials so you can put the finishing touches to your project - these include last orders bells, drip trays, bar towels and runners, hand pumps, Beaumont optics and stands, antique ornaments and retro pub collectables, plus lots, lots more. And all under one roof. 

Even if your premises is a shed pub for family and friends, and there are no set opening hours, the humble brass last orders bell is an institution as old as pubs themselves, and ringing your bell when it is time for the guests to drink-up and leave, pays homage to age-old tradition and is a whole lot of fun. Our largest-sized bells are sourced from a chandlers in Portsmouth, and are loud enough to alert the coastguard. As for drip trays and bar towels, they speak for themselves, as without them, means more tiding up when drinks are spilt or there is overflow from the glass. 

Almost all bars stock wines and spirits from the bottle, whether whisky, gin, vodka, and rum, so we source industry-standard optics at reasonable prices. For home bar users, what is on display is not always there for actual dispense. Often retro bar fonts and pumps help an ordinary home bar look like the real thing, especially if the bottles and cans or take-outs on offer match up with the real thing, pub sheds having become extremely popular during covid lockdowns. 

Much of the nation's industrial heritage originated from the Midlands, including most of the large breweries, but also pottery kilns, Wade Pottery being one of the leading manufacturers of the pub whisky jugs and ceramic ornaments displayed in pubs, back in the day. We have a fascinating range of vintage breweriana on display at K&U Pub Vintage's Aladdin's cave to make your pub or home bar extra-special, additional items arriving in the shop all the time.  

We are open incredibly long hours to accomodate visits from people working during the day, who are only available to visit on evenings or at weekends. Call us on 0845 051 8077 to arrange your visit anytime from 8.30am to 8.30pm seven days a week. If we don't have everything you happen to be after, we can source particular items special to you.
