Expert Review and  Insights

This is one of those bits of kit you buy once and  forget about, which is exactly what you want. The Beaumont crown ashtray is a proper workhorse. It does the simple job of holding ash exceptionally well, especially outdoors. It feels sturdy, looks the part in a traditional setting, and  won't shatter the first time it's inevitably dropped.

Freddie Wallace – Pub Equipment Expert View Profile →

  • Practical Engineering: The crown design is genuinely effective at stopping ash from blowing about.
  • Material Feel: While durable, the Bakelite feel is functional rather than premium or luxurious.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

'The Salty Dog Inn' in Padstow was constantly battling with the coastal winds in their popular seaside beer garden. Their old, lightweight ashtrays were a constant nuisance, blowing over and  creating a mess for staff to clean up.

"We switched to these Beaumont crown ashtrays and  the difference was immediate. They stay put, even when the sea breeze picks up. Our tables are cleaner, and  the staff spend far less time sweeping up ash. They just work, simple as that."

Robert Finch – Proprietor

The switch resulted in a significant reduction in customer complaints about mess and  cut down outdoor cleaning time by an estimated 30%.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Unpack from the box – no assembly required.
  • Place one on each table in your designated smoking areas.
  • Ensure they are placed on a flat, stable surface away from the very edge of the table.

Keeping It Going

  • Empty regularly throughout service to maintain a clean appearance.
  • To clean, simply wipe down with a damp cloth and  a mild detergent.
  • Avoid using abrasive scouring pads which could scratch the black finish.
  • The material is durable, but avoid dropping from significant height to maximise its lifespan.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Ashtray

Not sure what fits your business best? Here are a few things to consider when choosing commercial ashtrays.

Material Matters

Look for durable, shatter-resistant materials like Bakelite or heavy-duty melamine. They withstand knocks and  drops, saving you money on replacements in a busy environment.

Location, Location

For outdoor areas, choose a windproof design. Models with high sides or a 'crown' style are essential for beer gardens and  terraces to prevent ash from blowing around.

Size and  Capacity

Consider table size and  customer turnover. A compact 100mm ashtray is perfect for smaller café tables, while larger venues might need bigger or more numerous units.

Ease of Cleaning

A simple, smooth design is quickest for staff to empty and  wipe clean. Complicated shapes can trap debris and  slow down your clearing process.

Style and  Aesthetics

Choose a colour and  style that complements your brand. A classic black ashtray is a versatile choice that fits with both traditional pub décor and  more modern settings.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this ashtray suitable for outdoor use?

A: Absolutely. It's specifically designed for outdoor use, with its 'crown' style providing excellent protection against the wind.

Q: What is the ashtray made from?

A: It's made from a tough, thermosetting plastic known as Bakelite (or similar high-quality melamine), which is renowned for being hard-wearing and  shatter-resistant.

Q: How do you clean it?

A: It's very easy to clean. Simply empty the contents and  wipe it down with a damp cloth. Mild soap can be used for a more thorough clean.

Q: Is it heavy enough not to blow away in strong winds?

A: While its solid base provides good stability, its main defence against wind is the high-sided design which protects the contents from blowing out.

Q: Can these ashtrays be stacked for storage?

A: Yes, they are designed to be stackable, which is great for saving space when they're not in use or during cleaning.

Q: What are the exact dimensions?

A: The ashtray has a diameter of 101mm (4 inches) and  stands 44mm tall.

Q: Will the black colour scratch or fade over time?

A: The colour is integral to the material, making it very resistant to fading from sunlight. Avoid using abrasive cleaners to prevent surface scratches.

Q: Is it really shatterproof?

A: It is highly shatter-resistant. While no material is completely indestructible, it is designed to withstand typical drops and  impacts in a commercial setting far better than ceramic or glass.

What Customers Are Saying

Mark L – The Plough & Harrow, Birmingham

"Good, solid product. We bought 20 for our hotel terrace. They look smart and  are much better than the cheap plastic ones we had before."

How the 'Crown' Design Keeps Your Outdoor Area Tidy

Ever wondered what makes a crown style bar ashtray so effective? It’s all about simple, clever physics. The tall, notched walls act as a protective shield or windbreak around the central dish. When a gust of wind blows across the table, it hits the solid outer wall rather than the ash itself.

Think of it like a miniature walled courtyard for cigarette butts. The wind is forced up and  over the top, leaving the contents inside undisturbed. This simple design feature is what elevates it from a basic dish to a genuinely practical piece of outdoor commercial equipment, preventing messy tables and  ensuring a more pleasant experience for your customers.
