Pub furniture is just one area of capital expenditure for those in the beer and brewing sector, which helps towards the £1 billion contribution the industry makes towards the UK economy.
A report from the British Beer & Pub Association puts total 'capex' from pubs and breweries at more than £1 billion.
Delving further into the figures, of the total £1,079 million in capital investment, £241 million arose from breweries, with £759 million from pubs, incorporating fixtures and fittings like pub furniture, kitchens and washrooms.
The statistics are part of a report compiled by Oxford Economics on behalf of the BBPA, which the organisation says demonstrates the importance of freezing beer duty at the upcoming Budget.
Elsewhere in the report, Oxford Economics found that 900,000 jobs depend directly on British pubs and the beer industry as a whole.
Nearly half of these are younger people - aged between 16 and 24 - who account for 44% of industry workers, making the sector an important route into employment for many people when finding their first job.
And for every one job in a brewery, there are 18 jobs in pubs, along with one role each in retailing, the supply chain, and agriculture.
Brigid Simmonds, chief executive of the BBPA, says: "These 900,000 jobs are vital to the UK economy. The Chancellor played a blinder last year, with his historic and hugely popular cut in beer duty, which boosted jobs by 10,000.
"Let's ensure that the benefits are not undone this year - we need a beer duty freeze in the Budget."
Any freeze could be good news for landlords and managers looking to free up funds for investment into new pub furniture and other capex costs, as the Oxford Economics report identifies economic benefits from the previous 1p cut.
The boost in sales meant HM Treasury did not lose out in tax takings, despite the percentage of beer duty being slightly lower, and businesses across the industry have committed to £400 million in investment in the coming 12 months.
Customers have also benefited directly from the prices which, although they are only slightly lower than they would have been, represent an estimated £700 million saving in the coming two years.
