  • Built to Last: The redwood frame is incredibly robust compared to MDF alternatives.
  • Indoor Only: Not suitable for beer gardens or pavement advertising.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Drover's Arms, a historic pub in the heart of the Peak District, needed to replace their assortment of mismatched, handwritten signs. They wanted a single, professional display in their main bar area to create a better first impression and  streamline their daily menu updates.

"We were after something that felt like it belonged in our 18th-century building. This Beaumont board was perfect. It’s solid, looks fantastic, and  our specials have never been clearer. We’ve noticed more customers asking about the 'Pie of the Day' since we put it up right by the bar."

Robert Miller – General Manager

The pub reported a noticeable uptick in specials orders, particularly during the busy weekend service, attributing it to the board's clear visibility and  professional appearance.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Find a prime, well-lit location where the board is visible to everyone but out of the main thoroughfare to avoid knocks.
  • Use a spirit level to ensure it's perfectly horizontal for a professional look – crooked menus are a no-go!
  • Ensure you use appropriate wall fixings for your wall type (e.g., plasterboard, brick) to secure it safely.
  • Before first use, 'season' the board by rubbing the side of a piece of chalk over the entire surface and then wiping it clean. This helps prevent 'ghosting' from your first message.

Keeping It Going

  • For daily changes, a simple dry cloth or standard board rubber works best.
  • For a deeper clean to remove chalk residue, use a damp cloth (not soaking wet) and  allow the board to dry completely before writing on it again.
  • Avoid using abrasive chemical cleaners, as they can damage the surface over time.
  • Stick to traditional stick chalk for the best results and  easiest cleaning.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Menu Board

Not sure which board is the best fit for your space? Here are a few quick tips to help you decide.

1. Size and  Visibility

Consider your wall space and  viewing distance. A large board is great for a main menu, while smaller boards can work well for table-top promotions.

2. Frame and  Aesthetics

Does the frame match your decor? An oak-finish, like this framed chalkboard for pubs, suits rustic or traditional venues, while a metal frame might fit a more industrial look.

3. Location, Location, Location

Will it be inside or outside? Outdoor boards need to be weather-resistant, whereas indoor boards, like this one, can focus on style and  finish.

4. Chalk or Liquid Pen?

Decide if you prefer the classic look of stick chalk or the sharp, vibrant lines of liquid chalk pens. Always check if a board is compatible with liquid pens to avoid damage.

5. Mounting & Orientation

Check if the board can be hung both portrait and  landscape. Ensure it comes with fixings or that you can easily source them for your wall type.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I use liquid chalk pens on this board?

A: It's designed for use with traditional stick chalk. Using liquid chalk pens is not recommended as it may permanently stain or damage the surface.

Q: How do I clean it without leaving 'ghost' marks?

A: For best results, 'season' the board before its first use by rubbing the side of a piece of chalk over the whole surface and  wiping it off. For regular cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth and  let it dry fully.

Q: What are the exact dimensions of the writing area?

A: The total external frame size is 640 x 940mm. The usable writing surface is approximately 936 x 636mm, giving you a generous landscape area to work with.

Q: Does it come with wall fixings?

A: Fixings are not typically included as the requirement varies depending on your wall type (e.g., plasterboard, brick, wood). You will need to source appropriate screws and  wall plugs from a hardware store.

Q: Can the board be hung in a portrait orientation?

A: This board is designed and  best suited for landscape (horizontal) orientation, as reflected by its dimensions and  pre-fitted hanging points.

Q: Is the frame real wood?

A: Yes, the frame is manufactured from solid American Redwood for excellent durability, finished with a classic oak-style stain.

Q: Is it heavy? Will I need two people to hang it?

A: While it has a solid construction, it's manageable for one person to handle, but we'd always recommend having a second person to help you position and  level it safely on the wall.

More Than a Frame: Why American Redwood Makes a Difference

You might see 'wooden frame' and  think they're all the same, but the choice of American Redwood is what sets this commercial framed blackboard apart. Think of it like the difference between a solid oak table and  a flat-pack one. Cheaper boards often use MDF or soft pine, which can look fine at first but are prone to denting, chipping, or even warping over time in a warm pub or steamy kitchen environment.

American Redwood, on the other hand, is a much denser, more stable timber. This means it’s far more resilient to the everyday knocks and  bumps of a commercial setting. Its tight grain also allows for a beautiful, consistent oak-style finish that won't easily flake or peel. In short, you're not just buying a frame; you're investing in a piece of equipment that will maintain its professional look for years, not just a few months.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Country Pubs: Ideal for showcasing your guest ales, Sunday roast menu, and  quiz night announcements with rustic charm.
  • Independent Cafés: A fantastic wooden frame blackboard for cafes to display coffee specials, cake selections, and  brunch menus.
  • Bistros & Restaurants: Perfect for presenting the 'specials of the day' or a curated wine list in an elegant, eye-catching way.
  • Farm Shops & Delis: Clearly list fresh produce, local cheeses, or sandwich fillings for customers to see as they browse.
