Bar Mats for Pubs, Bars and Hospitality Venues

Bar mats are a front-line essential in any commercial bar. Placed on the counter during service, they catch spills and condensation from glasses, protect bar surfaces from scratches and staining, and keep the bar area hygienic when trade is at its busiest.

Ascot Wholesale stocks rubber bar mats, drip mats and anti-slip mats in a range of sizes to suit every bar setup. Whether you need a single bar mat for a small venue or a bulk order for a pub group, our range covers the full commercial requirement.

Bar Floor Matting for Staff Safety and Comfort

Behind the bar, the right floor matting makes a real difference to staff welfare and workplace safety. Rubber bar floor matting provides anti-fatigue cushioning for staff working long shifts on hard floors, and the anti-slip surface reduces the risk of accidents in wet or high-traffic areas.

Bar floor matting also helps contain spills, keeping the floor clean and safe during busy service periods. We stock rubber floor mats and interlocking mat systems suitable for bars of all sizes, from small venues to large-format pub operations.

Bar Shelf Matting and Shelf Liners

Bar shelf matting protects glassware from chipping and breakage on hard shelving surfaces, extending the life of your stock and reducing replacement costs. It also dampens noise when glasses are set down, which matters in quieter venues.

Shelf liners and bioliner matting rolls keep shelves clean and hygienic, preventing the build-up of dust and residue between cleans. Our shelf matting is available in rolls and can be cut to size, making it suitable for any shelf configuration.

Bar Runners for Branded and Promotional Use

Bar runners are a distinct product from bar mats. A bar runner runs along the full length of the bar top rather than sitting in a fixed drip tray position, giving a clean, finished look to the bar surface.

In pubs and bars, bar runners are widely used for branding and promotional purposes, displaying brewery or brand logos across the bar front.

Ascot Wholesale stocks plain bar runners suitable for commercial use across all types of licensed premises.
