Menu boards

Menu boards for cafés, pubs, takeaways and food vans, laid out to be read from the back of the queue.

What we do

A good menu board speeds up the queue. People decide before they reach the counter when headings are clear, prices line up and the type is big enough to read from where they are standing.

We lay menus out with that in mind and build them so a price rise does not mean a new board. Prices and specials can go on separate strips that we reprint on their own when things change.

  • Wall-mounted boards
  • Counter & hanging menus
  • Food van menus
  • Outdoor A-board menus
  • Changeable price strips
  • Printed table menus
How it is made

Printed and cut in our own workshop

Boards are printed on the Mimaki UCJV150-160 and Roland TrueVIS machines. Paper and card table menus come off our two Xerox Versant 280 presses, so the board and the printed menu match.

Designing the artwork on screen

Readable at a distance

Type sizes are set for where your customers stand, not for how it looks on a screen.

Printing and cutting in the workshop

Easy to update

Price strips and specials panels can be swapped without replacing the whole board.

Fitting the finished job

Board and table menus together

One design, one colour match, across everything the customer sees.

Good questions

Menu boards: what people ask

Can I change prices without buying a new board?

Yes, if we plan for it. We can make prices and specials as separate strips or panels, and reprint only those when something changes.

Do you print table menus as well?

Yes. Table and takeaway menus are printed on our Xerox Versant presses, using the same artwork as the board.

Can you make a menu for a food van or trailer?

Yes. Send a photo of the serving hatch and the space around it with measurements, and we will design the menu to fit.
