NAMGRASS: CASE STUDY FEATURE Only 38% of pubs and restaurants in England have outdoor space to trade (1) so when the government announced that these already hardhit establishments could reopen but only offer outdoor service, many landlords were forced to think outside the box to keep their businesses afloat. Not to be beaten, this hardworking sector wasted no time in reinventing their outdoor spaces. Car parks were transformed into family dining areas, disused garden areas were converted into bubble-friendly drinking zones and old storage areas were used to provide as much extra seating as possible.

Namgrass, one of the UK’s leading suppliers of artificial grass, was among other national suppliers of outdoor products that helped design and create inviting and muchneeded outdoor spaces to welcome customers and drive business to this sector at a critical time. Below, we highlight five hospitality venues across the UK that Namgrass and their nationwide network of highly skilled artificial grass installers have worked with to help business owners restructure and redefine key areas to embrace the change needed to be profitable during the last year.
The One Bell a public house in Dartford was one such business. A beautiful Grade II listed building that dates to the 18th century decided to repurpose the onsite unused car park. No Grow installed 200m2 of Namgrass’ bestselling artificial grass, Whitby, one of the most hardwearing and best-selling grasses in the Namgrass range which is designed to withstand high footfall. Being owned by former professional footballer, Jimmy Bullard, it will also come as no surprise that The One Bell is now able to host fans of the Euros in this large outdoor space.
