Pubstuff

At the beginning of January, we were contacted by Desborough Bowling Club and lucky enough to be asked to supply new furniture as part of a regeneration of Maidenhead Town Centre.

Two weeks a go, we visited Jim Macpherson (Part of the Desborough Bowls club Committee) to ask some questions and take pictures of the amazing new space they have once the full £6m redevelopment of the club was completed.

Below will be answers to some of the questions we asked Jim, and images to show one of the best places we have refurbished to date!

1. Can you give me a quick overview of your business?

We are a dynamic bowls club providing both Indoor and Outdoor bowling for around 500 members.

2. What was the main reason for the redesign of your bowling club?

We owned our previous site in Maidenhead, which was purchased by a developer as part of the regeneration of Maidenhead Town Centre.

We relocated and built a state of the art Bowling Centre on a new site close to our previous town center location.

Earlier this year we were contacted by the Grosvenor Snooker Club in Leicester. They were looking for a full redesign, and contacted Pub Stuff to see if we could help. Below is the case study from the club, and answers from the owner to talk about their experiences and images to show how the snooker club looked like on completion.

1. Can you give me a quick overview of your business?
We are a family run business that has been here since 1954. We are a snooker club with 10 tables and a large lounge area.

2. What was the main reason for the redesign of your snooker club?
We decided to redesign the snooker club due to the pub trend in general. The trend is that people are now not going out so much but when they are, they are spending more and wanting something a bit more comfortable. The snooker club before was more like a working men’s club and needed updating. We wanted to move away from the male dominated snooker club environment and encourage more couples to come in.

3. When thinking of ideas for new furniture, why did you choose Pub Stuff?
We found Pub Stuff on google and decided to use you due to you offering a design service to help us but together colours and ideas.

4. Why did you choose the products you now have in your snooker club?
We chose the products due to the practicality and modern look but we were guided by Sally who was very helpful.

5. Overall, were you happy with the process from contact, design and delivery of your products?
We chose the products due to the practicality and modern look but we were guided by Sally who was very helpful. The whole process was made very easy by you from first contact to delivery. We would highly recommend Pub Stuff to anyone who wanted to update their premises.

The transformation from what it was to what it is now is unbelievable and everyone who has walk through the door has commented on how amazing it now looks with no negative feedback at all.

We have now been open for 8 weeks and have found that we have attracted more couples to come in for a drink and a lot of new faces. The first 8 weeks have shown that we have increase to turnover by 46%.

At the beginning of the year, we were contacted by Claire and Mark at The Horseshoe Inn, Shipston on Stour. They were looking to redesign their Pub, and decided to contact us to see how we could help. To do this we created a mood board including a range of our furniture, possible fabrics to use and general design ideas.

Once the redesign was completed, Claire and Mark were kind enough to let us visit the pub once again and take after shots to add to the images taken before the design to see the difference. Below will be a series of questions we wanted to know about the business, the design, and the future of the pub.

1. Can you give me a quick overview of your business?
We run a traditional public house in Shipston on Stour; we have recently taken over the business after being offered the opportunity from Ei. This is a second site and we aim to deliver good quality home cooked food with a good selection of real ales, wine and lager. We offer a traditional Sunday Carvery every week.

2. What was the main reason for the redesign of your Pub?
The interior was very old, dated and worn. The pub needed a new lease of life to attract a better footfall.

3. When thinking of ideas for new furniture, why did you choose Pub stuff?
Reputation and recognised supplier of the catering industry was the most important to us, plus local to our sites.

4. Were any other contractors involved with the redesign or did you do it by yourself?   We had decorators and upholsterers to help. But only Pub stuff to help with the mood board.

5. Why did you choose the products you now have in your Pub?
We had help from Sally your designer, we wanted to get it spot on from the start after having decorated pubs before – this time we wanted a professional touch. Sally offered options and although we were slightly hesitate at some her experience speaks for itself. The traditional furniture with updated coverings looks amazing

6. How much was the whole cost of your pub refurbishment?
The new furniture was approx. £3,000, plus £600 for new wallpaper and £2,500 to recover fixed seating.

7. Overall, were you happy with the process from contact, design and delivery of your products?
Absolutely thrilled the pub is transformed we have increased our sales 65-70%, it looks traditional, warm and modern. We can’t wait to start on other pub with the help of Sally’s designs.
