When I worked in a bar, we got some really cool Hamlet ashtrays and promotional items, definately email them, I would say the tobacco companies are more than likely to give you stuff as advertising tobacco is getting much harder

As it is against the law to advertise tobacco/cigarettes now I don't think they'll be able to give you anything but no harm in asking.

How do you sign up to Diageo brands, as I cant see anything of the sort on the site?
Also, the jack daniels,when you try register, united kingdom isnt on their list of states???

In the "country" box just under "state" box scroll down to U.K;)

Sorry about that first link, it showed differently in my browser, try here instead:
http://www.diageobrands.com/sitemap.htm
All their brands' individual page links are listed to the right, most of these then usually have a mini site link top right. Click that and register with each brand possible for freebies, where given.

Well, as promised I have the pics of my bar to show you all, please do bear in mind I really need a shed load of booze to stock it up now!

My many thanks to all those who have helped me get allsorts of stuff to help my quest, cheers turvey for the pump and stuff, and to all the various breweries and companies that have sent me stuff too (Carlsberg, Cobra, hobgoblin, oakhams, warstiener, gaymers, Moorhouse, Hopback, Joseph holt, Tetleys, Hanson and hardy, Tribute, to name just a few, the response from them has been immense, so thank you all)

Amongst the stuff I have recieved so far is more than I can count, but some good stuff amongst it was:

30+ various bar towels,
1000+ various beermats,
2 T shirts,
8 pint glasses,
7 Bar runners,
3 ashtrays,
1 pump,
1 bar drip tray,
50+ various posters,
1 england flag,
20+ Stickers,
10+ advertising displays,
23 pump clips,
various flyers and POS stuff

Along with what I had to start with its made my bar look great (Well I think so!) My advice to anyone who wants to attempt to try what I did, is to send a request to as many drinks related companies and breweries as possible, use the same email for everyone (Helps when canvassing 100+ places!) anbd try a site like http://www.thepublican.com/supplier_categories_browse.asp?catcode=1410&navcode=91&packageType=S to trawl through loads of manufacturers and breweries etc. Not everyone will send you stuff nor will they even reply, so don't expect miracles, but I got about 20-25% of them sent me something (I did nearly 250 of them)
Don't forget to be polite and honest, and you may get somewhere!

Anyway, enough banter, pictures:
