Five hospitality venues across the UK that Namgrass have worked with to help business owners embrace the change needed to be profitable during the last year.
Market on the Grove The Carters Arms in Wilmslow has recently had new owners who had plans to put the fun back into pub life with live music, karaoke, cask ales, and cold lagers. With the restrictions and strict government guidelines being adhered to, the new management installed 120m2 of Elise artificial grass at the back of the premises. Expecting a heavy footfall, this medium pile grass offers high-density coverage and works perfectly in high-traffic areas and commercial buildings. The initial investment has definitely paid off, as The Carters Arm is an excellent fan zone for families and fans of football to enjoy the Euros.
The Grove bar and restaurant in Wilmslow is a new venture opening at the tail end of 2020, being a town centre venue, it was important to maximise seating both inside and out from the outset and local business BF Lawns installed 120m2 of Elise artificial grass, this medium pile grass is a high-density grass with excellent coverage for busy traffic areas and commercial properties. The Grove has transformed an unused tarmac car park at the rear and been able to operate safely during covid restrictions, plus they have gained a larger seating area to host more customers, the clientele now benefits from an inviting beer garden with alfresco dining.
The hospitality sector has reacted to a real business crisis by showing creativity and innovation and helping to stabilise their sector by making permanent use of previously underutilised outdoor spaces.
The Lighthouse
The Cliffhouse The Lighthouse
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.

Sister property to The Cliff House, the Lighthouse is set back from the main beach area although benefitting from the same amazing views, the lighthouse has a very small, paved area outside which was having a serious impact on trade during the pandemic. Deciding to follow in the steps of their big sister The Lighthouse asked No Grow to install 100m2 of the Exbury Bright artificial grass and with its deep pile and densely thatched luxury feel it has proved perfect for the busy tourist area. This has now increased the seating capacity of the Lighthouse and has given local families and visitors several relaxed dining options.
