Can someone recommend a bit bank, as a few are coming up on google search.
After doing some research Im thinking of trying a butterfly flip or cartwheel ideally with nathe or ported mouth peice if anyone is selling!?

There's bitworld and the horsebitbank that I've dealt with, both offered good advice and a good service.

I can't say the same for horsebitshop who I will never use again.

Just as an aside, the bit banks don't tend to hire out Nathes or other plastic/rubber bits so really you could just purchase one from wherever you find the cheapest

I usually use the horsebitbank, never had problem. Wheels is right that you can't hire any soft mouthpieces unfortunately.

Cotswoldsports carry a great range, and often have a selection of bits very similar to some top brands at a more reasonable price.

I've got one from Horsebitbank atm, think it will stay though. Mine is a Bomber.

I rang on the Thursday, they had the bit in stock, and it was with me the next morning.

I've used Bitworld too, they are local so I tend to just pop in, but very knowlegeable.

I (stupidly) ordered from horsebitshop and then looked at the reviews, which were terrible and I got very worried! However, the service was perfect, everything came on time and no problems at all. I don't know if I was just lucky or whether they have changed their practices but I would use and recommend them again.

The horse bit shop has now changed hands I believe, and are very aware of their old "bad" reputation based on a conversation I had with them at YHL!

However, as said, not many places will rent out soft bits. Speak to Bitworld nicely and primise to wrap it in Latex and pay for it if there is any damage, and they will sometimes consider it :)
