Purchasing for Pubs, Bars and Leisure
Sharpening your competitive edge
Saving you time so you and your team can make every promotion count.
Securing the best value for money for your business from every supplier.
Giving your business time to be profitable
In the fast-paced hospitality industry, independent pub and bar owners need to be able to react quickly with perfectly timed – and priced – promotions to stay profitable. Working with Lynx gives you the time and resources to plan ahead and stay on top.
Maximising every opportunity
Letting Lynx handle your purchasing frees up your team to focus on making every session count. That means extra time to train staff to upsell promotional menus and specials. Extra time to promote events and deals and attract the most customers you can. Extra time to plan unique offers that make your bar or pub the standout venue in your area.
With our help, you’ll have the time to better manage those quality details that increase your margins and your profit.
Making your budget work harder
Our approach is to work with you, understand your business and create a bespoke purchasing plan. We find the right suppliers, source and negotiate the best quality and best price products for all of your catering and bar equipment from food to beer, wine, soft drinks and essentials from glasses to crockery – as well as back of house supplies.
We’ll connect you with some of the UK’s top suppliers, giving you access to products, services and advice that will make your budget work harder for your business.
What our customers say
Harry Gurney - Managing Director, The Cat and Wickets
Founded by former cricketers Stuart Broad and Harry Gurney, The Cat & Wickets pub company currently operates two pubs, The Tap & Run, Upper Broughton, Nottinghamshire and The Griffin Inn, Swithland, near Loughborough.
Managing director Harry Gurney says: “We have a very clear idea of what we want Cat & Wickets pubs to offer, in terms of high-quality food and drink, a great atmosphere and a warm welcome. Given the profile of my business partner, we have always been inundated with supplier approaches and having someone to manage this process for us has been incredibly helpful.
“We work with Lee Cash, co-founder of Peach Pubs, and he introduced us to Lynx Purchasing, who were able to quickly match our menu style to the right suppliers.
Through Lynx, we’re ordering from fresh food specialists including a fishmonger, butcher and greengrocer, as well as general catering suppliers. That ensures we can offer our customers great quality food at good margins in the current climate.”
“Beyond food, Lynx has introduced us to suppliers of specialist products including catering equipment, cleaning products, disposables and cellar gas. We hit the ground running when we started The Cat & Wickets, and Lynx Purchasing has kept right up with us.”
Giles Fry - Managing Director, Snug Bars
"Working with Lynx Purchasing not only saves me money - it helps me protect our margin, which is more important than ever in these challenging trading times. It also saves me personally a lot of time and hassle, so I can focus on growing the business."
Jo Garratt - Operations Manager, Lovat Holiday Parks
"I cannot rate David, and the Lynx Purchasing team highly enough. Always professional, fully understanding of our park requirements and set up, and most importantly, upfront and honest. If that wasn’t enough, they’re excellent at saving our business money by streamlining products, locking in pricing and always looking for the next area to consolidate and bring under one area for monetary and time saving – what’s not to love?"
