Bidbury & Co. Pot Filler Taps

A pot filler puts the tap where you cook, not where you wash up. Fill a heavy stockpot right there at the hob instead of carrying it brimming across the kitchen from the sink, and the walk that used to come with every big batch of pasta or stock disappears for good. Bidbury and Co. build theirs from solid brass, in the same traditional finishes as the rest of the range, so the tap above your hob can match the one at your sink.

What a pot filler does, and where it earns its place

A pot filler is a dedicated cold water tap for the hob, not a second full-service tap. The arm folds flat against the wall between uses and swings out to sit directly over a pan when you need it, and that's its whole job, taking the weight of a full stockpot off your arms for the walk from sink to hob. It earns its place most clearly wherever that walk is already long: an island, or a run of worktop with the hob at one end and the sink at the other, anywhere a full pan means carrying real weight over real distance.

Who a pot filler is for

It's the tap for whoever cooks the way that fills a proper stockpot, stock simmered from bones for hours, a big batch of pasta water, a preserving pan on canning day. Carrying that much water full is the chore a pot filler removes entirely: one twist of the arm and the pan is ready exactly where it needs to be. Match the finish to your Bidbury and Co. kitchen taps and it reads as one considered choice above the hob, not an add-on fitted afterwards, and if you're furnishing the whole kitchen at once, everything from Bidbury and Co. covers the sinks and accessories that go alongside it.

Living with a pot filler

Most pot fillers, these included, run cold water only, and that's deliberate: you boil the water on the hob anyway, so a cold feed keeps the plumbing simple and removes any scalding risk from a tap fixed above a hot surface. The arm folds flat against the wall the moment you're done with it, so it never competes for space with pans, lids or a kettle the rest of the time. A pot filler is a supplementary tap rather than a replacement, though: it has no drainage beneath it and only ever supplies cold water, so your main kitchen tap still handles the washing up, the rinsing and every hot tap you turn on.
