I may have a need to provide payment to a British company. Their requirement is that I pay them in Pounds with a check drawn from a British bank. This will be a one time event, so I’d prefer to not go through the onnerous task of opening a bank account as a US resident with a British bank to just make this one transaction.

If you know that the payee is trustworthy, then you should be able to wire the funds. You’ll need a SWIFT number and account number for the payee. Any local bank branch (at least larger banks) can handle an international wire.
Write to a bank in UK and buy a cashiers check (oh, that might be too easy) Watch out for fraud, if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is. There may be a personal money transfer tax.
