Welcome Customers Back With Our Stylish Outdoor Furniture

If all goes to plan we’ll see a return to al fresco dining from mid-April. So it’s déjà vu for the UK’s pubs, cafes, restaurants and hotels as we begin to count down the days to the end of lockdown.

The long winter lockdown has taken a toll and we know that people are more than ready to get back to normal life. So it’s not surprising to hear that British pubs with outdoor dining areas were ‘deluged with bookings’ following the government’s announcement of the potential roadmap to re-opening businesses.

With all this pent up demand from customers, it’s the perfect time to do an audit of your outdoor dining area. After all, the winter months are bound to have taken a toll on your outdoor furniture too. So why not invest in new commercial outdoor furniture that will create a fresh new look and a truly welcoming environment to satisfy expected demand?

Warner Contracts Ltd is ready to help guide you through the many options available. This blog post aims to provide some suggestions for outdoor furniture that will ensure your customers are sitting comfortably this summer.

For pubs we have a range of hard-wearing options from rustic wooden picnic benches to stylish rattan-look sofas and dining sets. And for cafes, restaurants and hotels, we have some attractive yet practical furniture that will add a dash of European street-style to any outdoor patio or pavement dining areas.

 Outdoor Furniture for Pub Beer Gardens

Sipping a pint and tucking into a hearty pub lunch is a quintessential English tradition. And that tradition includes the wooden picnic tables and benches that can seat families or a groups of friends – socially distanced, of course!

Our Beer Garden Bench  offers fantastic value and is manufactured with sustainably sourced, FSC-rated and treated pine that can withstand the rigours of the British climate. We stock 4, 6 and 8-seater sizes.

Alternatively, our Round Beer Garden Tables offer a more substantial dining option for picnic areas and pub beer gardens. They are also manufactured from pre-treated, FSC- rated timber, plus you have the option of installing a table umbrella for those hot, sunny days.

For a more contemporary look, we would suggest our Parma Stacking Sofas and matching Parma Stacking Tub Chairs. These lightweight yet sturdy sofas and chairs have an aluminium frame covered with an extremely durable and low maintenance flat weave polyethylene (PE) material. They are easy to move around and can be stacked for easy storage. Just add throw cushions for a splash of colour.

 Stylish, Relaxed Dining for Pubs, Bistros and Restaurants

A more sophisticated dining option is our stylish Al Fresco Rattan Dining Set which combines modern materials with the classic styling of Lloyd Loom furniture. The set is strong yet lightweight thanks to its aluminium frame. And the woven synthetic rattan is fully UV and weather resistant. This attractive yet hard-wearing set comprises four chairs and a round dining table with a glass top.

Another great dining combination is our Madrid range. We’ve recently added the Madrid Outdoor Dining Chair and Madrid Outdoor Table to complement our Madrid Outdoor Armchair.

The Madrid table and the frame of the Madrid chairs is made from sturdy yet lightweight aluminium covered in an attractive epoxy protective coating (EPC). You have a choice of two EPC finishes – contemporary grey or natural.

The Madrid chairs’ both feature a strong woven seat made from waterproof polypropylene (PL) rope and an attractive curved seat back featuring a stylish ‘loom-like’ design. Fully weather and UV-proof, the Madrid range is also easy to keep clean and the chairs stack up to three high.

Another great combination for commercial dining is our Parma Outdoor Chair and Parma Stacking Outdoor Armchair matched with our Genoa Large Table or Genoa Square Table.

Like the Parma sofa and tub chair, our stackable Parma dining chairs are designed to endure the British weather and still retain their good looks. They feature the same strong yet lightweight aluminium frame and a comfortable, low maintenance flat weave PE seat.

And our Genoa tables are a perfect match as they feature the same flat weave PE rattan-effect on the legs and table edges. The PE table surfaces have an attractive and hard-wearing slatted-look decorative finish.

Contemporary Chic for Courtyard dining

If people can’t travel to their favourite holiday resorts why not bring a dash of European élan them?

We have some great new side chairs and matching armchairs that wouldn’t look out of place outside a French cafe or bistro.

Take our stylish Lille Stacking Outdoor Chairs and matching Lille Stacking Outdoor Armchairs for example. They feature a traditional spoon back design which evokes the traditional bentwood style that French bistros love. These chairs, though, are made from vinyl-wrapped aluminium and have a hard-wearing, weatherproof poly rattan weave seat and seat back. Two colour finishes are available: natural cane and a cool matt grey.

Our new Lyon Stacking Outdoor Side Chairs and Lyon Stacking Outdoor Armchairs   offer a contemporary take on the classic French bistro chair. These versatile chairs are fully weatherproof, stackable and look good in a variety of settings. They are manufactured from black powder coated aluminium and feature a mesh seat and seat back.

Why not match these French-style chairs with our eye-catching new Marine Dining Tables? We stock Rectangular and Square versions as well as poseur tables.

These robust tables are purpose-designed for outdoor commercial use and feature a black powder-coated steel frame and an extremely durable and low maintenance compact laminate table top. The decorative azure blue finish provides an attractive dining surface.

 Chairs for Cafe Gardens and Pavements

Sometimes all you need are good, solid chairs that will put up with constant heavy commercial use, stay looking good and are easy to clean and pack away.

We have added some dependable but great-looking chairs that do exactly that. Latest additions include:

• Harper Stacking Armchair – The Harper has a contemporary design that will suit most venues. Its black powder coated steel frame supports a stylish dark grey PL rattan-look seat and seat back. You can stack these chairs up to 8 high for easy storage.

Carmen Outdoor Stacking Armchairs – Featuring a modern take on a classic industrial design, the Carmen is a robust bistro chair that will look good anywhere. It’s made from black powder-coated steel and will stack up to 4 high.

Richmond Stacking Outdoor Side Chair – The Richmond is a versatile chair that can be mix and matched with a wide range of dining chairs and tables. It’s rattan-look weave is made from weatherproof fibreglass reinforced resin.

 Perennial Favourites

Sometimes you can’t beat a classic – and we’d put our Matilda Outdoor Chair and Armchair in this bracket. Available in a great range of colours, Matilda chairs help create a fun and friendly vibe outside cafes and bars. Made with an extremely durable yet comfortable fibreglass reinforced polyproplyene shell, they can also be stacked up to 4 high – using the handy cut-aways on the side of the shell.
