Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Salty Siren, a bustling seafood restaurant in Whitby, needed to replace their collection of smaller, mismatched menu boards with one central, eye-catching display for their daily catches.

"We wanted a single, large board that looked as fresh as our seafood. This Beaumont blackboard was spot on. It has a quality, coastal feel with the oak frame, and  it’s big enough for our entire specials list. Customers comment on it all the time; it's become a real focal point of the dining room."

Robert Mills – Head Chef

Since installing the board, the restaurant has seen a notable increase in orders for their 'Catch of the Day' specials, improving stock rotation and  reducing waste.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Find the perfect spot: Choose a well-lit wall at eye-level where customers are sure to see it. Avoid hanging opposite a bright window to reduce glare.
  • Level up: Use a spirit level when marking your drill holes. A wonky board is the first thing people notice!
  • Use appropriate fixings: Ensure you use wall plugs and  screws that are suitable for your wall type (e.g., plasterboard, brick).
  • Plan your layout: Before writing, lightly sketch out your design with a dry cloth to get the spacing just right.

Keeping It Going

  • Choose your chalk: Works well with both traditional stick chalk and  liquid chalk markers.
  • Clean regularly: For best results, wipe clean with a damp cloth and  a dedicated chalkboard cleaner to prevent 'ghosting' (faint outlines of old text).
  • A fresh start: Every few weeks, give it a thorough clean with a recommended solution to restore the deep black surface.
  • Let it dry: Always allow the board to dry completely before writing on it again to ensure your new message is crisp and  clear.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Display Board

Not sure what fits best in your space? Picking the right board is about more than just looks. Here are a few things to consider.

Size and  Visibility

Measure your wall space first. The board should be large enough to be read from a distance but not so big that it overwhelms the room. This café blackboard display 1236x736mm is great for a main feature wall.

Frame Style

The frame should match your decor. An oak finish like this one adds rustic warmth, while a black or metal frame might suit a more modern, industrial aesthetic. Consistency is key to your brand's look.

Location, Location, Location

Is the board for inside or outside? This board is designed for indoor use to protect its wooden frame. For outdoor use, you'll need a weather-resistant A-board or specially treated wall board.

Chalk vs. Pen

Decide if you prefer the classic, dusty look of traditional chalk or the sharp, vibrant lines of liquid chalk markers. Make sure the board surface is compatible with your choice.

How Often Will It Change?

If you're updating the board daily (like for a 'soup of the day'), an easy-to-clean surface is essential to prevent ghosting and  keep it looking fresh.

A: Yes, this blackboard is suitable for use with both traditional chalk and  liquid chalk markers.

Q: Is the board magnetic?

A: No, this is a traditional chalkboard and  is not magnetic.

Q: How do I mount it to the wall?

A: The board comes with fittings for wall mounting. We recommend using a spirit level and  ensuring you use screws and  plugs appropriate for your wall type.

Q: What is the best way to clean off liquid chalk?

A: A damp cloth is usually sufficient, but for stubborn marks or to prevent ghosting, we recommend using a dedicated chalkboard cleaning solution.

Q: Is the 1236x736mm size the outer frame or the writing area?

A: That refers to the external dimensions, including the frame. The writing surface will be slightly smaller.

More Than Just a Frame: Why American Redwood Matters

Ever wondered why some wooden frames warp or feel flimsy? It often comes down to the type of wood used. This board's frame is made from American Redwood, and  that's a bigger deal than it sounds. This specific wood is chosen for its stability and  straight grain, meaning it's much less likely to twist or bend over time, even with the subtle temperature changes in a busy kitchen or pub.

Think of it like the foundations of a house. You don't see them, but they're crucial for keeping everything straight and  secure for years. The redwood provides a solid, reliable core that ensures your Beaumont oak blackboard for pubs remains flat and  looks great, protecting your investment and  maintaining a professional appearance day in, day out.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Country Pubs & Bars: Ideal for showcasing a rotating selection of guest ales, wines, and  spirits with authentic charm.
  • Restaurants & Bistros: The perfect Beaumont framed menu blackboard for displaying daily specials, desserts, or prix fixe menus.
  • High-Street Cafés: A brilliant way to list coffee blends, cake selections, and  brunch options in a stylish, visible format.
  • Farm Shops & Delis: Great for announcing fresh produce, local cheeses, or special offers to customers as they shop.
