Modern tiling methods and products make a tiled bar the most durable and lasting finish available.

The bar finish can be decorated by our professionals or just left for you to add your own decoration. 

The choice of tiled finish can be a natural stone, travertine, quartzite, granite, slate, limestone or even our range of ceramic tiles including porcelain. All natural products are sealed to give protection from spillage of food and drink.

We are the only UK company to offer such a service

Home Brew

Beers, Lagers & Wines

In the lead up to Christmas I started looking into growth markets during 2009, there are not many industries doing well, so I thought I’d hit the high street to find businesses that were benefiting from recession, beer at home namely “Home Brew” is one winner up in takings by more than 300%.  

Many questions were asked while visiting one small “home brew” shop in the small town of Kidsgrove, Staffordshire, the answers were so positive I felt it time for me to join in and try it out for myself.

I purchased 1 x food quality brew bin 1 x pressure barrel 1x beer kit starting off with a cheap £7 Young’s kit, well one week in the bin mixed only with sugar and water then transferred to the beer barrel, in just two weeks I could not wait any longer it had to be tried, taking a small wine glass I poured a small measure and looked at this near perfect beer I had made myself well the taste shocked me, as you may guess with the odd visit from friends and family the barrel was empty in just over one week. I have since made some 4 kits ranging from cheap £7 to £19 kits the more expensive kits require no sugar however my findings on the more expensive kits will be printed here in the next week or so.
