- Basic Grip: Lacks a handle, so it can be slightly slower than jiggers for some.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Rose & Crown in Bristol needed to standardise its spirit service across all its bar staff. Their old, mixed collection of measures was leading to inconsistent drinks and making stocktaking a real headache.
"We switched to the Beaumont thimbles to get everyone on the same page. The quality is fantastic and having the CE mark on every one gives us complete confidence that we're pouring correctly and legally. It's a small change that has made our service so much slicker."
Michael Davies – General Manager
The pub reported a noticeable drop in spirit wastage and a 10% improvement in stocktake accuracy within the first month.

Ever wondered what that little 'CE' stamp actually means? It’s not just for show. For a spirit measure, it's a legal guarantee that it has been tested and certified by an official body to hold the exact volume stated. Think of it like your car’s MOT – it's your proof that your equipment is fit for purpose and, crucially, legal for trade. Using a non-stamped measure to sell spirits by volume in the UK is against Trading Standards regulations and can land you in serious trouble. This little stamp protects your license, your reputation, and ensures every customer gets a fair pour.
Who Should Buy This?
- Pubs and Bars: For serving legally compliant spirit measures with total accuracy, protecting your license and profits.
- Mobile Bar Services: A robust, lightweight, and unbreakable essential for serving perfect drinks at any event or festival.

- Catering Colleges & Training Centres: The perfect tool for teaching students the importance of accurate, legal spirit dispensing from day one.
