Freddie Wallace – Pub Equipment Expert View Profile →

  • Built to Last: The melamine material is genuinely shatterproof, a massive plus for any busy venue.
  • Purely Functional: Its basic look might not suit high-end venues with a strong design focus.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Anchor Inn, a bustling seaside pub in Whitby, was constantly replacing its ceramic ashtrays which were either breaking or getting blown over by the coastal winds. They needed a more robust and  practical solution for their popular patio area.

"We were sick of sweeping up ash and  broken pottery. We switched to these Beaumont crown ashtrays, and  the difference was immediate. They stay put, they don't break when dropped, and  the mess on windy days has been cut right down. A small change that's made a big difference to our daily cleanup routine."

Robert Green – General Manager

The pub saw a significant drop in replacement costs and  reported that staff saved up to 20 minutes per day on cleaning the patio.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • No assembly required! Simply unbox and  they are ready to be placed on tables.
  • Ensure they are placed on a flat, stable surface to prevent them from being knocked over.
  • Position away from flammable materials like paper menus or fabric tablecloths as a general precaution.

Keeping It Going

  • Empty regularly throughout the day to maintain a clean appearance and  prevent overflow.
  • For a quick clean, wipe with a damp cloth and  a mild detergent.
  • The durable melamine material is generally safe for washing in a commercial dishwasher for a thorough sanitisation.
  • Stack them neatly when collecting or storing to save space and  keep service stations tidy.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Ashtray

Not sure what fits best for your venue? Here are a few quick tips to help you pick the perfect tabletop ashtray for your business.

Material Matters

For busy outdoor areas, choose shatterproof materials like melamine or bakelite. They withstand drops and  knocks, saving you money on replacements compared to ceramic or glass.

Consider the Location

If your ashtrays will be used outdoors, a windproof design is a must. Look for styles with a 'crown' top or a deeper bowl to keep ash from blowing away and  creating mess.

Capacity & Size

A smaller, **101mm pub ashtray** (like this 100mm model) is ideal for individual tables. For larger communal smoking areas, you might consider a larger bin, but these are perfect for keeping tabletops tidy.

Ease of Cleaning

Smooth, simple designs without awkward nooks and  crannies are far easier to empty and  wipe clean. This helps your staff turn tables faster during busy shifts.

Match Your Style

While function is key, the look is still important. A classic black finish, like on the **Beaumont black bakelite ashtray**, is a versatile and  professional choice that fits in anywhere.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this ashtray really shatterproof?

A: Yes, it's made from a highly durable melamine/bakelite plastic that is designed to resist breaking, cracking, or shattering if dropped, making it ideal for busy commercial use.

Q: Is it heavy enough to not blow away in the wind?

A: While it's lightweight for easy handling by staff, its stable, low-profile design helps it stay put on a table. The crown top is designed to stop the contents from blowing away, not the ashtray itself.

Q: How do you clean it?

A: It's very easy to clean. You can simply empty the contents and  wipe it down with a damp cloth. For a deeper clean, it can be washed with warm, soapy water.

Q: What is the actual diameter?

A: The diameter is 100mm, which is approximately 4 inches, a standard size for a personal tabletop ashtray.

Q: Is it suitable for a busy pub garden?

A: Absolutely. It was designed specifically for environments like pub gardens and  restaurant patios, where durability and  functionality are key.

Q: Can these ashtrays be stacked for storage?

A: Yes, they have a stackable design, which is great for saving space when they are not in use or during cleanup.

Q: Is the material heat resistant?

A: It's designed to safely hold extinguished cigarettes and  stubbed-out ends without melting or warping under normal use.

Q: Does the black colour fade in the sun?

A: The material is UV-stabilised to a degree, but like any plastic, prolonged, intense sun exposure over many years may eventually cause some fading. However, it's designed for outdoor commercial use.

How the 'Crown' Design Keeps Your Patio Spotless

Ever wondered why the 'crown' shape is so popular on commercial ashtrays? It's a brilliantly simple piece of functional design. Think of the high walls and  notches not just as a rest for cigarettes, but as a mini windbreak. When a gust of wind blows across the top of the ashtray, the raised 'crown' disrupts the airflow, preventing the light ash inside from being lifted up and  scattered across your tables, floor, and  even your customers. It's like building a small fortress to contain the mess, ensuring your outdoor area stays cleaner for longer, even on a classic British summer's day. This small detail saves your staff a surprising amount of cleaning time.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Pubs & Beer Gardens: An essential for keeping outdoor tables tidy and  reducing mess from wind-blown ash.
  • Restaurants & Cafés: A durable, low-maintenance choice for al-fresco dining areas and  terraces.
  • Hotels & Event Venues: A reliable and  shatterproof solution for designated guest smoking areas.
  • Workplace Smoking Areas: A professional and  easy-to-clean ashtray for staff breakout zones.
