Pub & Trade Benches - Commercial Picnic Seating

We supply handmade pub benches and beer garden seating, built to order in solid C24 construction-grade timber for the trade. Designed to take heavy daily use and stand up to the British weather, our benches help you turn outdoor space into covers.

Built for Beer Gardens

Seating that earns its place

Pub seating has a harder job than garden furniture: constant use, spills, weather, and the occasional rough night. Ours are built for it - substantial timber, solid joints, and finishes chosen for high-traffic outdoor life. Fewer replacements, less downtime, more covers.

C24 construction-grade timber and reinforced joints for daily commercial use.

When a Trade Bench Is Right

Why solid timber pays off for trade

The cheapest benches cost the most over time - they fail, and you replace them mid-season. A well-made solid-timber bench can be sanded, re-oiled and repaired, lasting years longer than flat-pack imports.

Repairable, not disposable

Sand it, re-stain it, tighten the fixings. A proper bench earns its keep season after season.

Built in our Chelmsford workshop

Every bench is handcrafted in Essex. One maker, start to finish, with full build traceability.
