Why this ice bucket earns its place
Ice melts. Unless you insulate it. This Beaumont bucket is built around that simple principle: heavy insulation keeps ice cold longer, which means staff spend less time trudging back to the ice station during service. The round, traditional design is comfortable to handle — the bucket is 197 mm tall and 190 mm in diameter, light enough to carry one-handed even full with ice. A matching lid comes as standard, which does real work — it keeps the bucket closed when not actively pouring, reducing ice-melt time by a significant margin.
Capacity is flexible depending on how you load it. Without the liner, the bucket holds 4.5 litres of ice. With a removable liner in place, you drop to 2.5 litres, but you gain the option to pre-chill bottles or ingredients inside a controlled space. For a personal drinks cooler at a table — the bucket's core job — either capacity works. The insulation means that ice lasts visibly longer, which translates to cold drinks throughout the meal without staff interruption.
Plastic construction (with that insulation) keeps weight manageable and means no corrosion, no staining, no hassle in the dishwasher. Freezer and dishwasher safe, so it moves through your wash cycle daily without degradation. The black colour is discreet — it doesn't compete with the drinks or the table setting. For restaurants, hotels, and function venues where ice buckets are part of the daily grind, this is the bucket that pays for itself through labour saved.
