The Copper Kettle, a bustling bistro in Keswick, needed to improve their bar efficiency, especially during the hectic summer tourist season. Their existing ice buckets weren't keeping up, leading to watery drinks and frequent, disruptive refills mid-service.
"This Beaumont ice bucket has streamlined our entire drinks service. Our staff can focus on the customers, not the ice machine. It looks incredibly professional on the bar and the ice stays solid for hours. It’s a small investment that has paid us back in speed and quality tenfold."
Robert Davies – Owner
After the switch, the bistro noted they reduced ice machine refills by over 30% during peak evening service, improving workflow and drink consistency.
Ever wondered how this bucket works its magic? Think of it like a personal travel mug, but for your ice. The 'double-wall' construction means there's a pocket of air trapped between the inner and outer layers of the bucket. This air acts as a fantastic insulator, creating a barrier that stops the warmer ambient air in your bar from reaching the ice inside. It’s the same simple physics that keeps your morning brew hot for hours. For your bar, this means less melting, less water pooling at the bottom, and no more fishing out sad, tiny ice slivers for a customer's drink.
Q: How long will this bucket actually keep ice frozen?
A: Thanks to its double-wall insulation and lid, it will keep ice solid for several hours during a typical bar service, significantly longer than standard buckets.
Q: Is the inner plastic part removable for cleaning?
A: Yes, both the inner bucket and the drainer tray can be removed for easy and thorough cleaning.
Q: Can I use this as a wine or champagne cooler?
A: Absolutely. Its 10-litre capacity makes it an excellent wine cooler bucket, easily holding multiple bottles with plenty of ice.
Q: Is it heavy to carry when full?
A: The bucket itself is very lightweight at only 1.53kg, making it easy for staff to manage even when filled with ice.
Q: What is the point of the drainer tray?
A: The tray sits at the bottom and allows meltwater to drain away from the solid cubes, keeping them dry, separate, and frozen for longer.
Q: Is the Beaumont D848 ice bucket dishwasher safe?
A: To protect the brushed aluminium finish and ensure longevity, we strongly recommend hand washing with a soft cloth and mild detergent.
Q: Does the lid fit securely?
A: Yes, the lid is designed to sit neatly on top, providing a good seal to help maintain the internal temperature.
Q: What is the main benefit of the aluminium exterior over plastic?
A: The brushed aluminium provides a more premium, professional appearance suitable for customer-facing bar areas, and it is very durable.
