  • Writing Tools: You'll need to use liquid chalk pens for the sharpest, cleanest look.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Swan Inn, a busy riverside pub in Stratford-upon-Avon, was looking to replace their tired, laminated daily menus with something that better reflected their cosy, traditional atmosphere.

"We needed something simple that felt authentic and  was quick to update during a busy lunch service. These boards are fantastic – they look the part, are easy to clean, and  our regulars have commented on how much smarter they look."

Robert Mills – General Manager

The change resulted in staff saving valuable time, making menu updates over 50% faster than reprinting, folding, and  distributing paper sheets daily.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Simply unpack the menu board from its protective packaging.
  • For best results, use good quality liquid chalk pens for a vibrant, clear message.
  • Before first use with liquid chalk, wipe the surface with a clean, damp cloth to remove any dust.
  • Write your menu or message and  place it on your desired tabletop or counter.

Keeping It Going

  • To update, wipe the board clean with a damp cloth. A designated chalkboard cleaner works best.
  • Avoid using abrasive pads or harsh chemicals, as this can damage the surface.
  • Ensure the board is completely dry before writing on it again to prevent smudging.
  • Store flat when not in use for long periods to maintain its shape.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Menu Display

Not sure which menu display is right for your spot? Here’s a quick guide to help you decide.

Placement is Key

First, decide where it will live. A handheld board is great for personal service, while a countertop display like this Beaumont menu board A3 is perfect for grab-and-go information.

Size Matters

An A3 board is ideal for specials or a focused list. For your full food offering, you might need a larger wall-mounted board, while smaller A4 or A5 sizes are great for drinks lists.

Match Your Vibe

This board’s rustic wood gives a cosy, traditional feel. If your establishment is modern and  sleek, you might consider metal or acrylic options instead. Always match your tools to your decor.

Update Frequency

If you change your menu daily, an easy-to-wipe chalkboard is a must-have. It's far more efficient and  sustainable than printing new paper menus every morning.

Pens vs. Chalk

Liquid chalk pens offer bold, clean, and  smudge-resistant lines that really pop. Traditional stick chalk provides a softer, more classic look but can be messier.
