  • Best Feature: The tactile, quality feel of the wood makes a brilliant first impression.
  • Consideration: The surface works best with liquid chalk pens, not traditional dusty chalk.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Star Inn, a historic pub in the heart of Bath, was looking for a more characterful and  efficient way to display their rotating 'Pie of the Day' and  guest ales, moving away from printing daily paper slips.

"The Beaumont A3 hand held menu boards were the perfect fit. They match our classic interior, and  our team can update them in moments. Customers comment on them all the time – they love the personal touch when we bring the specials to their table."

Robert Davies – General Manager

The change has eliminated daily printing costs and  reduced the time to update specials by over 90% during peak hours.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Before first use, 'season' the board if using traditional chalk by rubbing the side of a stick of chalk over the entire surface and  wiping it off. This is not required for liquid chalk pens.
  • Choose high-quality liquid chalk pens for the most vibrant and  easily erasable results.
  • Plan your layout before you start writing to make the best use of the A3 space.
  • Keep a practice board or paper nearby to test your lettering and  spacing.

Keeping It Going

  • Clean the board daily with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn liquid chalk marks, a small amount of non-abrasive cleaner can be used.
  • Avoid using sharp objects or abrasive scourers on the surface as this can cause permanent scratches.
  • Store the board flat or upright in a dry place to prevent warping or damage.
  • Regularly check for any signs of wear and  tear, ensuring it always looks its best for customers.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Menu Display

Not sure what fits best for your business? Here’s a quick guide to help you decide.

Location, Location, Location

Consider where it will be used. A portable handheld menu board for restaurants is great for table service, while a large wall-mounted board is better for bar areas.

Material Matters

The material sets the tone. Wood offers a rustic, warm feel, while metal or plastic can look more modern and  sleek. Choose what best suits your decor.

Size and  Visibility

An A3 board is great for detailed specials, but a smaller A4 or A5 might be better for a simple drinks list. Ensure it's big enough to be read easily from a distance.

Writing Style

Decide between liquid chalk pens or traditional chalk. Pens offer a cleaner, sharper look and  are easier to manage, while chalk has a more classic, dusty aesthetic.

Portability

If you need to move the board frequently, look for lightweight designs. A handheld menu holder for pubs needs to be light enough for staff to carry comfortably all shift.

Why a Quality Finish Makes All the Difference

Ever tried to wipe a cheap chalkboard clean only to be left with a ghostly, smudged mess? That's what the Beaumont menu display board A3 is designed to avoid. Its specially treated wooden surface is smooth and  non-porous. Think of it like the difference between writing on a whiteboard and  a piece of paper. The whiteboard lets you wipe the ink away completely, leaving a fresh slate. The paper absorbs the ink, making it permanent.

This board acts like that whiteboard. When you use liquid chalk pens, the 'chalk' sits on top of the surface, rather than soaking in. This means a quick wipe with a damp cloth removes every trace, leaving you with a perfectly clean, deep black background every single time. No ghosting, no smudges, just a crisp, professional-looking menu, day in and  day out.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Restaurants & Gastropubs: Ideal for presenting a dynamic specials menu or a curated wine list directly to diners.
  • Cafés & Delis: A fantastic handheld menu holder for pubs and  cafés to display cakes, coffees, and  lunch specials attractively.
  • Pubs & Bars: A stylish way to showcase craft ales, guest beers, or cocktail of the week promotions.
  • Farm Shops & Bakeries: Perfect for highlighting fresh produce, seasonal bakes, or special offers in a charming way.
