At Home Leisure Direct we offer the largest selection of English pool tables in the country, with a vast range on display in our Bristol showrooms where you can try them for yourself.
Our award-winning team have all of the experience and knowledge you’ll need to help you to choose an English pool table. We pride ourselves on our service and will be able to advise you as much or as little as you need.
We stock the finest quality English pool tables from all of the best manufacturers in the world, including (but not limited to) the very best based in the UK. We stock tables from family businesses in the UK who employ expert craftsmen that have been building professional pool tables for generations, as well as tables from France, Spain and even further afield. English pool refers to the style of game, not the place of manufacture, so we search the globe for the very best manufacturers of English 8-ball pool tables.
English 8-ball pool differs from American pool by having smaller pockets (and smaller balls), making for a more thoughtful and tactical game than the faster American pool. English pool tables are generally smaller in size, although you can get 8ft pool tables and 9ft pool tables in English style. The standard English size is a 7ft pool table, which is the size on which UK official tournaments are played. In commercial environments and pubs, 6ft and 7ft English Pool Tables are by far the most common.
Slate Bed Pool Tables
We exclusively supply slate bed pool tables, regardless of whether the table will be used in a home or commercial environment. Slate bed tables are simply the best quality, and those with a wood bed just don’t compare. We pride ourselves on the quality of our tables and will never supply anything below our extremely high standards.
Pool Dining Tables
For those of you looking to get a secondary use out of your pool table as a dining area or work surface, a pool dining table is the perfect marriage of fun and convenience. The majority of our pool dining tables simply require the placing of two hard tops onto the frame; the table is ready for use immediately, and is almost indistinguishable from a regular dining table. To play pool again all you need to do is remove the tops.
Signature Pool Tables
Through our experience of selling pool tables over many years, we’ve had a lot of questions and feedback from customers on the features they’re looking for. Having taken this feedback on board, we’ve created the Signature range of tables, which caters for these needs and desires, to create a range of pool tables that are simply the best on the market.
The Signature range includes pool tables which have been designed by our own in-house team to include most-requested features as well as the finest build quality, and aesthetics that will make them a great addition to any games room.
The entire Signature range has been designed and hand-built by craftsmen in the UK, ensuring you benefit from the highest quality product as well as supporting our own economy. We use the best materials and fine workmanship that comes from years of experience.
Award Winning Advice
We understand that with busy schedules, family life and work commitments, not everyone can visit our showrooms. Buying a pool table is generally something you will only do once in your life, so it's important to make the right choice. We at Home Leisure Direct understand this completely. If you are unsure about cloth colours or wood finishes we can send you samples out - free of charge - to help you make that decision without stress. If you are concerned about your space, the size of the table or whether or not a table will fit in your space, then you can either download any of our “Will It Fit?” guides or call the team who will happily help you over the phone. We will never tell you an item will fit just to get a sale. You can trust us to offer you honest advice, all of the time, so that there are no unwanted surprises on delivery day.
Showroom
Stressful city centre driving and expensive places to park are not part of the Home Leisure Direct experience. Instead we have three converted stone built barns, one of which was an old milking parlour, in the idyllic countryside where you will be greeted by a member of our friendly, knowledgeable team with free parking right outside the door.
We believe visiting us will be the most fun showroom visit you will ever have. Whether you’re looking for an English pool table, a pool dining table or one of our other fantastic games room products, we look forward to welcoming you soon with a freshly brewed cup of coffee and a truly enjoyable experience.
