If you’ve been in a cosy pub or a restaurant on a cold evening, you’ve probably felt the comforting warmth of their fire. UK pubs and restaurants love fire tables because of the many benefits they provide. In this blog we will look at the advantages that fire tables provide.
Fire Tables Offer a Warm Welcome
In the UK autumn or winter season it’s important for pubs and restaurants to keep their guests warm. A real fire does this perfectly. Fire tables add a charm and warmth that you can’t get from a radiator. The flame is inviting to guests.
For pubs and restaurants that have an outdoor space, a fire table can turn that outdoor area into an asset. At Alfresco Fire Tables we proudly sell many of our luxury gas fire tables to pubs and restaurants in the South East of England.
An Ambient Atmosphere
Pubs and restaurants all have a different atmosphere and mood, but they all need to be inviting and charming to appeal to customers. A fire table works excellently to meet these needs. The flame on a fire table creates instant mood lighting which is gentle and intimate. Guests are more likely to feel cosier and at ease, also conversations flow better. The atmosphere becomes a positive experience for everyone. Restaurants that want to create a romantic or old-fashioned charm use fire tables to get this atmosphere. They don’t use harsh or neon lights. Many pubs and restaurants aim for a rustic chic or contemporary classic look, and fire tables enhance this.
Cooking and Socialising
Fire tables are not just about warmth and ambience. They’re about bringing guests together in a cooking and socialising environment. A lot of gastropubs and upscale restaurants have fire tables installed with built-in grills where their diners can cook their own ingredients, right at their own table. Many pubs and restaurants have purchased our fire tables.
By using fire tables, restaurants and pubs create a social dining experience where guests become part of the entertainment. It’s interactive, memorable and many customers share it on their socials.
Flexibility
UK pubs and restaurants have major seasonal changes. This can make their outdoor areas go unused during the winter months. By using fire tables, pubs and restaurants can use their outdoor areas all year round. Restaurants can offer more covers, more bookings and more revenue without having expensive permanent structures. Fire tables are also mobile so they can be moved or shifted when needed.
Stylish Statement
A fire table looks elegant and is a great feature to have. Fire tables come in plenty of different designs and models. Pubs and restaurants use fire tables as centrepieces and attractive main features to create an appealing environment for their customers. Pubs and restaurants that are design conscious love the wide aesthetic range. They can match fire tables to blend in and add style to their venues.
Safety, Efficiency and Practicality
Traditional open fires have downsides such as smoke, ash, fumes and safety concerns. Modern fire tables especially our models at Alfresco Fire Tables, handle a lot of these downsides. Pubs and restaurants love our fire tables because they have controlled flames, tidy designs and built in safety features. This makes our fire tables safer and more operational, perfect for customer use.
Our fire tables are also efficient as gas burns cleanly and you don’t need to deal with charcoal, wood or ash mess and disposal. For busy pub and restaurant staff, our fire tables make it easy for them to adjust the flames and shut them down easily.
Marketing
Pubs and restaurants love fire tables because many customers love taking photos of their fire table experience. If a restaurant or pub wants organic social media marketing, then fire tables create a perfect opportunity for this. Pubs and restaurants know that trendy visuals sell and a fire table is great for photos.

Catering to Different People
Fire tables are general crowd pleasers. Pubs and restaurants benefit from the versatility that fire tables offer. They appeal to a wider audience with just a bit of outdoor furniture investment. In the UK the weather can change dramatically, as fire tables can be used all year round, they help to bring in a varied crowd.
Sustainability Concerns
High end fire tables come with cleaner burning burners. When they are placed outdoors in well-ventilated areas, they have a lighter environmental footprint compared to older open wood fire pits, which create soot and smoke. Pubs and venues particularly love our fire table range because they are eco-friendly.
Worth the Investment
Fire tables are an investment that often pays for itself over time. If you are a pub or restaurant owner, you will find the cost of the fire table repays through extended seasonality and guest experience and satisfaction. A well-built fire table will last for many years and can be moved between sites.
Conclusion
Fire tables are a smart investment for pubs and restaurants for many reasons. They are sustainable, cater to different audiences, are great for marketing, stylish, safe and create a perfect atmosphere for guests. Fire tables are not just for pubs and restaurants, you can invest in a fire table for your home.
