The Drawing Board

The Drawing Board is a two-floor independant free house in Royal Leamington Spa that somehow makes tapas, comics and craft beer feel like they were always meant to share a menu. Open since 2015, it picked up Best Beer Pub at the Great British Pub Awards and continues to be a well-loved local, known for its unique vibe. It will be supplied by tem from September 2026.

"Working with Jake at Flame, we were shown a quote from tem and it was the first time an energy bill actually made sense. What we save is money we can put straight back into the food, drink and service we're known for."

More profit back in a pint

UK pubs are averaging around 3p profit for every £1 spent on a pint, down from 7p two years ago. They're being hit by rises in energy, wages and duty all at once. The Drawing Board's move to tem saves them £1,500 a year. That's money that pays for staff, kegs and kitchen equipment, keeping a community cornerstone alive.

Numbers that already make sense

RED™ quotes break out exactly what to expect: a fixed unit rate for day and night usage. Monthly standing charges. High impact non-commodity costs, shown clearlty as pass-through rather than bundled away or marked up. The goal is that what The Drawing Board sees on its first bill matches what they've seen on the quote.

One thing off the list

Running an independent pub means constantly deciding where attention goes. With energy costs fixed, that's one line Sam doesn't have to keep coming back to and one less worry.

Hospitality margins made a bit bigger

The Drawing Board runs on RED™, cutting its energy costs by around 5%. In an industry where the average profit per pint has halved in two years, that's a meaningful line back on the right side of the ledger and out of energy traders bonuses.
