❤️ A Small Plea From a Small Independent Business… ❤️
We don’t normally write posts like this, but we wanted to be open and honest with our customers.
The darts market has changed massively over the last couple of years. There are more and more online retailers appearing, making the competition fiercer than ever.
As a small, independent, family-run business, we simply don’t have the buying power of some of the big online retailers. Unfortunately, that can also mean we're sometimes near the bottom of the pile when it comes to getting the latest stock from suppliers.
But there are things we can offer that you won’t get from clicking ‘Add to Basket’ online. 🎯
At AS Pub Sports, you can:
🎯 Try before you buy – throw the darts and make sure they actually suit you before spending your money.
🎯 Play on the leading dartboards – we have the top-selling boards mounted on the wall, so you can see and play on them before deciding which one is right for you.
🎯 Get genuine, friendly advice – no pressure, no hard sell. We want you to leave with the right setup for you.
🎯 See and feel products in person – because sometimes a photo and a product description just aren't enough.
Every set of darts, flight, shaft, board or accessory you buy from us helps keep a local independent business going.
So before automatically ordering your next darts purchase online, please consider giving us a try first. Even if you haven’t visited us for a while, we’d genuinely love to welcome you back.
We know we won't always be the cheapest and we won't always have everything the big retailers have – but we'll always do our best to look after you.
If you want independent darts shops like ours to still be here in years to come, please support them when you can. ❤️
Thank you to everyone who already shops with us and continues to support us. It means more than you probably realise.

Small business. Big passion for darts.
