Britain’s Economy on the SLIDE - Garden Pub Sheds on the UP.
Two Fat Blokes bar signs, Pub Shed Radio & GSPN run a national competition to find Britain’s best garden pub shed.
With the huge cost of living crisis more and more homeowners are adding their own pub in their gardens. With the average cost of a pint predicted to go over £7, it’s no surprise that that Britons are looking for ways to save on the cost of their entertainment. By having your own garden pub you save on the cost of the booze with a pint from the local supermarket costing just £1.38 its easy to see how much is saved by having your favourite tipple at home, then there’s no expensive taxis or waiting at a bus stop.
During the pandemic Ashley Turner & Matt Andrews who run Two Fat Blokes Bar Signs were both made redundant from a marketing agency, Ashley had just built his own garden pub and made his own pub sign so it seemed right to get involved with the rest of the Pub Shed community who were crying out for all things related to their favourite pastime including pub signs. Ashley who previously worked with Matt decided to start their own pub sign business. Matt as the designer and Ashley as the manufacturing and sales, The business quickly took off and the guys started to get involved with Facebook group Garden Shed, Pubs & Nightclubs (Over 280,000 members) and Pub Shed Radio - Yes it’s a real thing Amateur DJ’s broadcasting from their shed to yours.
