Whether you are a pub or restaurant looking at inventive ways of increasing capacity whilst adhering to social distancing restrictions or simply thinking of reinventing your private outdoor space, our robust range of artificial grasses can help do just that. Transform your pub garden with artificial grass!
As a result of the pandemic, restaurants and pubs have been forced to become inventive with their space and their business model over the last year. But finally, just in time for the warmer weather, we are beginning to see the opening up of outdoor areas in a bid to get people back into pubs safely and swiftly. Creating an outdoor seating area effectively extends the venue and is one of the ways that the hospitality sector has been able to adapt to the age of social distancing until the time comes when they can cater to full capacity once more. Until then, the need exists to do what is possible to make the business viable and by extension, provide an attractive experience for customers who, likewise, are desperate to get back to as semblance of normality.
Why choose artificial grass?
Whilst you may be considering alternative surfacing options such as concrete flagging or real turf, it’s worth noting both of these options fall short in some way, when used in a social space such as a pub beer garden. Real turf may look appealing at first, but with heavy footfall the turf will quickly become a sea of brown sludge which your guests will likely be less than thrilled about trailing around with them. Concrete flagging, on the other hand provides a durable surface for guests to dine on, however concrete can be lethal with regards to slips and trips as the material has little to no shock absorption and flags used for paving can often have exposed harsh edges. (It’s safe to say no one likes a boozy brunch that ends in blood shed!) Artificial grass provides peace of mind that your guests can safely enjoy your outdoor space without anyone needing to grab a mop bucket or first aid kit!
How does green space improve the outdoor dining experience?
Whilst the normality we remember may be shouting over each other for service stood shoulder to shoulder at the bar, the hospitality industry is encouraging customers to embrace the ‘new normal’ and a new appreciation for the outdoors that may come with it. Not everyone will have experienced a commercial outdoor dining experience, so with the ‘new normal’ comes a unique opportunity to set the standard. When we think of the great outdoors and nature, we immediately think of clear blue skies and green grass. While we can’t always guarantee clear blue skies, especially in the United Kingdom, what artificial grass can do is guarantee your grass will always be green. Picnics, beer gardens and outdoor events become that much more immersive for your guest when surrounded by beautiful grass that looks and feels just as nature originally intended.
