Good Luck to The Settle Inn!

Karen Osborne • August 7, 2025

The Portishead Community is delighted to welcome a new business to the High Street.

The Settle Inn is a Micro Pub, offering a range of real ales, as well as a wide selection of other drinks.


Industrial Modern Furniture was approached by Ed, the Owner of this exciting new venue, to discuss making a new bar and bespoke furniture.


Ed wanted a unique, industrial feel for this bar, and John was the right person to help!

For weeks, John created a fantastic range to meet the brief, including a bar, fixed bar tables, and stunning display shelving.


The overall result looks amazing with lots of other features, including rustic wooden flooring, blackboards and beer taps.


The bar is located at 46 High St, Portishead, Bristol BS20 6EL. The opening hours are noon until 10 pm on Friday and Saturday, and noon until 4 pm on Sundays.


Please call in for a drink and a snack and support this exciting new venture!

We are increasingly being invited to homes where the front of house makeover includes paving, new steps and a great building design, to discover that a steel specialist is needed to complete the look and comply with safety requirements.

jOHN WORKING ON RAILINGS
By Karen Osborne June 7, 2025
Many of us will be aware of friends or family who have had to move home because of access issues in their garden or approach to the property. Moving can be very unsettling, costly and stressful for all those involved. Going to the large DIY stores or local or even online Garden Centres to try and find a solution is often a waste of time and in most cases very expensive. We were approached, by a lovely couple in Portishead to look at a garden that was a unique shape with several steep paths. Access and safe movement around their lovely garden was becoming difficult and potentially unsafe. The rails that they had previously looked at were very utilitarian and unattractive. After contacting us, John went to look at the garden and went for a site visit and designed a great affordable solution. The solution was to hand-build steel handrails. The steel was dipped in an anti-corrosion primer and powder-coated in a black finish. As can be seen in the photos below, each section included a beautiful decorative scroll
