It’s a functional item that doubles as a piece of décor, which is always a smart buy for front-of-house.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Old Mill Bakery in Bakewell, Derbyshire, was looking to upgrade its mismatched collection of small, handwritten signs to create a more cohesive and  professional look. They needed a large, central board to display their daily bread and  pastry offerings.

"We wanted something that reflected the traditional, quality feel of our bakery. This Beaumont board was perfect. It's solid, looks fantastic on the wall, and  our customers have commented on how much clearer and  more inviting the menu looks now. It really ties the whole counter area together."

Robert Davies – Owner, The Old Mill Bakery

The new board streamlined their display, leading to a noticeable increase in customers trying the daily specials.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Before drilling, check your wall type (plasterboard, brick, etc.) to ensure you use the correct fixings.
  • Use a spirit level to make sure the board is perfectly horizontal for a professional look.
  • Ensure the board is securely fastened to the wall to prevent accidents in a busy area.
  • Consider 'seasoning' the board by rubbing the side of a piece of chalk over the entire surface and  wiping it off before first use.

Keeping It Going

  • For best results, use traditional stick chalk rather than liquid chalk pens which can stain the surface.
  • To clean, simply use a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a dedicated blackboard cleaning solution is recommended.
  • Avoid using abrasive scouring pads or harsh chemical cleaners as they can damage the blackboard surface.
  • Check the wall mountings periodically to ensure they remain tight and  secure.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Menu Board

Not sure what fits best? A great display board is more than just a place to write – it’s part of your brand's voice. Here’s what to consider when choosing the right one for your business.

Location, Location, Location

Is the board for inside or outside? This Beaumont board is for indoor use only, perfect for protecting its lovely oak finish from the Great British weather.

Size Matters

Measure your wall space! You want a board that’s big enough to be easily read from a distance but doesn't overwhelm the room. This 936x636mm size is a great all-rounder.

Match Your Vibe

The frame is a key part of the look. An oak finish like this one brings a warm, rustic, or traditional feel that complements many décor styles, from country pub to artisan deli.

Avoid 'Ghosting'

Look for a quality, non-porous surface. A good board will wipe clean without leaving faint 'ghost' images of old writing, keeping your daily specials looking fresh.

Mounting & Fixings

Consider how you'll hang it. This is a wall mounted blackboard for cafe and  pub use, so check what fixings you'll need for your specific wall type before you start.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the best type of chalk to use on this board?

A: We recommend using traditional stick chalk. It provides a classic look and  is easiest to clean from this type of surface.

Q: Can I use liquid chalk pens?

A: It's not recommended. Liquid chalk pens can be absorbed by the board's surface over time, leading to permanent marks or 'ghosting'.

Q: How do I clean the blackboard?

A: A soft, damp cloth is usually sufficient. For a deeper clean, a non-abrasive blackboard cleaning spray will restore the surface perfectly.

Q: Is the board heavy to hang?

A: No, it weighs just 3.27kg, making it relatively lightweight and  manageable for one person to position and  install.

Q: Can this board be mounted in a portrait (vertical) orientation?

A: Yes, absolutely. The classic design looks great mounted either landscape or portrait, depending on your space and  needs.

Q: What is the frame made from?

A: The frame is constructed from durable American Redwood, which is then given a beautiful and  classic oak finish.

Q: Does this blackboard come with wall fixings?

A: Fixings are not included, as the correct type will depend on your specific wall construction (e.g., plasterboard, brick, tile).

Q: Is the surface of the board magnetic?

A: No, this is a traditional chalkboard with a non-magnetic writing surface.

Why a Redwood Frame Beats the Rest

You might see 'wooden frame' on lots of blackboards, but the type of wood makes a huge difference. This Beaumont board uses American Redwood, a timber known for being stable and  durable. Think of it like this: a cheap pine frame is like a garden shed—it does the job, but it can warp or twist over time, especially in a warm café or pub. American Redwood is more like solid oak furniture—it's built to last, holding its shape and  resisting knocks and  bumps far better.

This means your investment not only looks more premium from day one with its authentic grain and  solid feel, but it will also stay looking great for years. You won't have to worry about the frame looking tired or askew after a few seasons of use. It's that hidden quality that ensures your establishment's décor remains top-notch.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Country Pubs: Perfect for chalking up the Sunday roast menu and  list of guest ales by the bar.
  • Artisan Cafés: A stylish wall mounted blackboard for cafe use, ideal for displaying coffee blends and  cake selections.
  • Bistros & Restaurants: An elegant way to present chef's specials, wine pairings, and  desserts to diners.
  • Farm Shops & Delis: Adds a charming, traditional feel for advertising fresh produce, local suppliers, and  daily offers.
