Thanks to Patrick for purchasing a quality Lavazza bean to cup machine for Patrick's bar in upper Bangor North Wales.
This is a top of the range machine for serving the most popular choices of continental hot drinks to their customers.
Thanks Patrick, for thinking local and for supporting us like you do for so many other local companies.

This was a special sale and a pleasure to deal with one of the most respected landlords and characters from the area. A true Bangor lad born and bred, Patrick has run the establishment for over 27 years.
This establishment is one of the oldest pubs in Bangor built in 1880 and was known as the Menai Vaults.
On the 7th of January 1999 Patrick made the place his own and changed the name from the Menai Vaults to Patrick's Bar serving Bangor as the longest established real ales house and the longest established Irish bar in all of Wales.
Taking pride in good housekeeping, both running a clean pub and air B&B business, Patrick has been in the hospitality trade for over 43 years, from working in hot water to serving the best Guinness in Wales!
The pub has several certificates by CAMRA (campaign for real ale) community pub of the year and serves local as well as established brands of beer at the pump.
Paddy welcomes all, with a wide range of customers, from students, lecturers and businessmen, serving locals and those visitors from further away, from all corners of the UK and Ireland and some as far away as Seattle.
Customers have been entertained by at least 3 Welsh singers who have gone on to win Can i Gymru, Daniel Lloyd, Allister James and Elidir Glyn. They all performed at the pub, joining in with the locals, singing and giggling their way through the songs.
Founded by a Liverpudlian, the 'Old Boys convention,' around 100 past students of Bangor University, visit Bangor every year during the first May bank holiday, paying a religious visit to Paddy's bar, as well as other venue's in Bangor for their annual reunion.
It was started in 1964 and continues with a very strong following, some members are now in their 80's and continue to come along to Paddy's to say hello and meet with old friends.
This is one of the most genuine and honest pubs of Bangor, where locals and students mingle and get along like age old friends.
The traditional Bangor Pub feeling is still strong here, giving the customers a sense of safety and merriment in this legendary and historic landmark to the city.
SlΓ‘inte Paddy!
