£1.58(£1.90 inc VAT)
This A5 chalkboard from Olympia is a compact, freestanding display board designed for table-level menu presentation, daily specials, or short messaging in cafés, restaurants, and hospitality venues. The board is made from MDF with rounded edges and comes with a wooden easel, allowing it to stand independently on a counter or table without any fixings or additional hardware.
It is intended for use with liquid chalk markers, which produce clean, legible lettering and wipe away easily with a damp cloth when the message needs updating. This makes it practical for operators who change their specials or pricing regularly, avoiding the cost and waste of printed inserts.
Useful in a number of front-of-house settings, including:
- Table tent replacements for daily specials or allergen notices
- Counter displays for coffee menus or promotions
- Queue or service point messaging
- Event and function table labelling
At A5 size, this board suits close-range reading — table tops, counter edges, or service points where customers are nearby. It is not intended for wall mounting or high-visibility display across a room; operators needing larger-format signage should consider a bigger board format from the same range.
The MDF construction is lightweight and the rounded edges reduce the risk of damage to table surfaces or linens. The wooden easel is designed to be used with this size board and keeps the unit stable on flat surfaces under normal service conditions.
If you are unsure whether this size suits your intended use or would like to discuss display options for your front-of-house setup, the team is happy to help.
£205.00(£246.00 inc VAT)
This bundle pairs a Securit large format pavement board with a set of eight Posterman chalk marker pens, giving you everything needed to get a board in service from day one. The A-board uses a solid wood frame finished in mahogany, with a synthetic non-porous writing surface on both sides. That surface is compatible with chalk and wet-wipe chalk markers, so displays can be updated quickly without specialist cleaning products.
In a busy front-of-house environment, the double-sided layout is a practical advantage — menus, specials, or directional messaging can face two directions simultaneously without any additional hardware. The board folds flat when not in use, which helps in tighter storage areas where space is already at a premium between services.
A few things worth bearing in mind before purchase:
- Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, though sustained exposure to heavy rain may affect longevity of any chalk marker writing
- The synthetic surface wipes clean and can be reused repeatedly
- Folds flat for straightforward storage between services
- Includes eight Posterman pens with a 7 x 15mm nib for variable line widths
- The mahogany-finish frame gives a more considered look than plain blackboard alternatives
At just over 5kg the board is light enough to be repositioned by a single member of staff, which makes it practical for venues that move signage in and out with the weather. It sits comfortably in front of cafés, pubs, restaurants, and hotel entrances.
If you are unsure whether this size is right for your frontage or you need advice on pen colour selection for your signage, the team are happy to help before you order.
£4.75(£5.70 inc VAT)
This is a small freestanding blackboard designed to sit on a table or counter and display handwritten information — daily specials, menu items, prices, or short messages. The board has a pine wood frame and stands independently without any additional support, making it straightforward to reposition around the front of house as needed.
The melamine writing surface wipes clean with a soft damp cloth between uses, which keeps the board looking tidy through a full service without much effort. It is a practical choice for venues that rotate their specials or pricing regularly and want to update table signage quickly.
- Freestanding design — repositions easily with no fixings required
- Melamine surface wipes clean with a soft cloth
- Compact footprint suitable for small café tables and bar tops
- Pine wood frame adds a neutral, natural look to table presentation
- Lightweight enough to move between covers throughout service
There are no installation requirements — the board stands on its own base and requires no wall fixings, cable management, or power. At 300g it is light enough to handle single-handed. The compact dimensions mean it will sit comfortably on most standard café tables without encroaching on cover space, though operators with larger tables or a need for more visible signage may find a bigger format more suitable for their environment.
This board is well suited to cafés, bistros, small restaurants, and bar operations that want a simple, reusable table display for rotating content. It works particularly well where a handwritten aesthetic fits the venue style. For venues needing wall-mounted or larger-format displays, alternative formats are available in the range.
If you are unsure which size or style of display works best for your front-of-house layout, the team is happy to help you think it through.
£11.99(£14.39 inc VAT)
This is a single A4 aluminium snap frame designed for displaying printed menus, bar tariffs, promotional notices and daily specials in hospitality environments. The snap-open border allows printed inserts to be changed quickly without tools, making it a practical choice wherever displayed information changes regularly.
In a front-of-house setting, the aluminium frame presents printed content cleanly and professionally. It suits tabletop use, counter placement, or wall mounting, and the slim profile keeps the focus on the printed insert rather than the frame itself. The lightweight construction makes it easy to reposition between service periods.
- Snap-open border allows fast, tool-free insert changes
- Suitable for printed menus, tariffs, daily specials and notices
- Clean aluminium finish works across a range of hospitality settings
- Lightweight enough to reposition or relocate without effort
- Sold singly, so you can match quantity to exact requirements
As a single unit, it is worth considering how many display points you need across the venue before ordering. For larger sites or high-turnover display requirements, ordering in multiples may be more practical than sourcing individually.
This frame is well suited to cafés, bars, restaurants, hotel lobbies and similar front-of-house environments where clean menu presentation matters. It is a straightforward, practical item, but if you are equipping a larger venue and want to discuss display solutions more broadly, the team is happy to help.
£28.20(£33.84 inc VAT)
This is a traditionally styled chalkboard from Beaumont, finished with an antique pine effect wooden frame. At 636x486mm it provides a practical writing surface for displaying menus, daily specials, promotions or general customer-facing messaging without the need for printed materials or digital screens.
In a busy front-of-house environment, the ability to update messaging quickly is genuinely useful. Changing a special, adjusting a price, or announcing an event takes seconds with chalk, and the surface wipes clean without fuss. The wooden frame gives it enough visual weight to sit confidently on a counter, shelf, or wall-mounted position without looking out of place.
Practical points worth noting for commercial use:
- Chalkboard surface wipes clean easily between updates
- Antique pine frame suits a range of interior styles
- Lightweight at under 2kg — straightforward to reposition or remount
- Suitable for wall mounting or freestanding display depending on setup
- Wood construction keeps it looking at home in both traditional and contemporary settings
The size works well for counter-top use in cafés, behind the bar in pubs, or as a secondary display alongside a main menu board in a restaurant. It is not intended as a primary large-format menu board for high-footfall environments where something larger or more permanent may be more practical.
If you are putting together a front-of-house display setup and want a steer on sizing or configuration, the team is happy to help.
£102.00(£122.40 inc VAT)
This is a large-format pavement board from Olympia, supplied as a bundle with a set of eight Securit marker pens. The board is constructed from melamine, which gives it a smooth, wipe-clean writing surface suitable for regular updates with liquid chalk markers. At 1200mm tall and 700mm wide, it offers a generous display area that can be read clearly from a distance, making it practical for pavement-side placement outside cafés, bars, restaurants, and similar hospitality venues.
Melamine surfaces accept liquid chalk marker ink cleanly and wipe down reliably between updates, which matters in a busy front-of-house environment where menus change daily or promotions need refreshing quickly. The board is well suited to displaying specials, drinks lists, or directional messaging in a format that catches passing footfall without requiring print or laminated inserts.
- Large write-on surface suited to daily menu updates and promotional messaging
- Melamine finish wipes clean easily between uses
- Bundle includes eight Securit marker pens — no separate purchase needed
- Readable from a distance, well suited to pavement and entrance placement
- Straightforward to reposition as display needs change
At 9kg, the board has reasonable stability for outdoor use in sheltered positions, though operators in exposed locations should consider whether additional weighting or anchoring is appropriate. It is not designed for permanent outdoor installation in unsheltered environments.
This board is well suited to independent cafés, restaurants, pubs, and bars that update their messaging regularly and want a presentable, practical display solution without ongoing print costs. If you need a smaller format for tighter entrance spaces, or multiple boards across a larger site, it is worth discussing your requirements with us before ordering.
£60.06(£72.07 inc VAT)
This Beaumont peg board is a straightforward, reusable letter display board intended for front-of-house messaging in hospitality environments. At 457mm x 610mm, it offers a practical display area for specials boards, daily menus, promotional messages or operational notices, and is constructed from plastic for everyday use.
The peg-and-letter format allows messages to be updated quickly between services without specialist tools or materials. Staff can rearrange letters in seconds, which suits venues that change their specials frequently or need to communicate shifting information — pricing updates, seasonal dishes, or service hour changes — without reprinting or rewriting anything.
- Consistent, readable display without handwriting variation
- Reusable format keeps ongoing messaging costs low
- Suitable for counter-top or wall-mounted positioning
- Lightweight construction at 118g makes repositioning straightforward
- Black finish suits a range of front-of-house aesthetics
Being a plastic construction, this board is best suited to indoor environments. It is not designed for exterior or high-moisture locations, and care should be taken to keep it away from direct heat sources or steam-heavy areas such as pass-through zones.
This board suits smaller independent venues, cafés, bars, and pop-up operations where a clean, consistent message display is needed without significant outlay. Operators running larger sites or requiring multiple boards across different areas may want to consider whether a larger format or a different display solution better fits their layout.
If you are unsure which size or display format works best for your front-of-house setup, the team is happy to help you think it through.
£64.33(£77.20 inc VAT)
This is a freestanding A-frame style pavement board from Olympia, designed to display handwritten menus, daily specials, or promotional messages outside a venue or at an entrance point. The board surface is melamine, which accepts wet-erase and chalk marker pens and can be wiped clean between uses. A set of Securit marker pens is included, so the board is ready to use straight from the box.
Pavement boards like this are a practical, low-cost tool for drawing passing trade into cafés, restaurants, pubs, and independent retail units. The melamine surface holds marker ink cleanly and gives a clear, legible result without requiring specialist signage. Because the surface wipes down easily, operators can update messaging daily — or even between sittings — without any additional materials.
- Melamine surface accepts wet-erase marker pens cleanly
- Wipes down quickly for daily or session-by-session updates
- Includes Securit pens, ready to use immediately on arrival
- Freestanding design suits entrances, pavements, and indoor foyer use
- Compact footprint causes minimal obstruction in tighter spaces
At 4kg, the board is light enough to move in and out of service easily, though operators in exposed locations should consider whether additional weighting or securing is needed in windier conditions. The melamine surface is not suitable for permanent adhesive graphics or solvent-based inks.
This size is well suited to smaller independent venues where a compact, easy-to-manage display is preferred. Larger sites or those needing greater visual impact at distance may find a larger format board more appropriate for their footfall levels.
If you are unsure whether this size suits your setting or want guidance on display options for your venue type, the team is happy to help.
£94.35(£113.22 inc VAT)
This is a freestanding A2 pavement sign designed to display printed graphics, menus, or promotional material at the entrance to a hospitality venue. The frame is constructed from anodised aluminium with rounded chrome corners, and the display area accepts a standard A2 sheet — equivalent to four A4 pages side by side — held in place by spring-loaded clip edges that make changing inserts straightforward.
The anti-glare cover over the display face reduces reflections in bright outdoor light, which makes a practical difference in summer or in well-lit covered entrances where standard clear covers can wash out printed content and make menus difficult to read from a distance. The anodised aluminium finish is reasonably resistant to everyday handling and light weather exposure, though like most clip frame signs of this type it is best suited to covered or semi-covered positions rather than fully exposed outdoor placement.
- Spring clip frame allows quick insert changes without tools
- Anti-glare cover improves readability in bright conditions
- Anodised aluminium construction resists everyday wear
- Rounded chrome corners reduce snagging risk in busy entrances
- Standard A2 format works with widely available printed inserts
This sign works well for cafés, restaurants, pubs, and takeaways that need to display a daily specials board or directional information at the door. It is a practical, no-fuss option for lower-footfall sites. For venues with very high footfall or fully exposed outdoor positions, a heavier-duty forecourt sign may be worth considering.
If you are unsure whether this format suits your entrance layout or signage requirements, the team is happy to point you in the right direction before you order.
£14.44(£17.33 inc VAT)
This is a single A3 aluminium snap frame designed for displaying printed menus, bar tariffs, promotional posters, or daily specials in a front-of-house setting. The snap-open border allows posters to be changed quickly without tools, making it practical for operations that update their displays regularly.
Lightweight at 130g, it is well suited to wall mounting in restaurants, cafés, bars, hotel lobbies, or any customer-facing area where clean, professional menu presentation matters. The aluminium frame gives a neat finish without being bulky, and the A3 format is a commonly used size for printed menu boards and promotional sheets.
A few things worth considering before ordering: this frame is sold as a single unit, so if you need multiple display points, you will need to order accordingly. It is intended for flat printed inserts rather than chalkboard or whiteboard use. If you are fitting several frames across a wall run, it is worth checking your layout before ordering to ensure consistent spacing.
This frame suits operators who want a tidy, low-cost display solution for menus or promotions without committing to a built-in display system. It is a practical choice for smaller venues or for supplementing an existing signage setup. If you need larger format displays or frames in volume, it is worth having a conversation with us to make sure you are ordering the right quantity and size for your layout.
£59.56(£71.47 inc VAT)
The Olympia metal framed pavement board is a straightforward A-frame display board designed for hospitality and retail use. Built around a robust iron frame, it presents menu information, daily specials, or promotional messages on two writable surfaces — one on each side — allowing operators to run different content simultaneously or swap between messages without having to erase and rewrite.
In practice, these boards are commonly used at entrances, on pavements outside cafés and restaurants, or within dining areas to draw attention to offers and events. The iron construction gives it enough weight and rigidity to stand steadily in light outdoor conditions, and the build is weather resilient enough for general outdoor use in typical UK weather, though it is not intended for exposed or high-wind sites.
The carry handle makes repositioning straightforward — useful when staff need to bring the board inside at the end of service or move it between front-of-house positions during the day. Key practical points include:
- Double-sided writing surface removes the need to rewrite when alternating messages
- Iron frame construction provides stability on both indoor and outdoor surfaces
- Carry handle allows easy repositioning by a single person
- Classic A-frame format is widely recognised and easy to read at pavement level
- Suited to indoor and outdoor use in normal weather conditions
At just over 6.5kg, this board is light enough to handle easily but unlikely to shift in a gentle breeze. It does not require fixing or anchoring for standard pavement use, though operators in exposed or high-footfall locations may want to consider a heavier-duty or weighted alternative. No electrical or water connections are required.
This board is well suited to independent cafés, restaurants, pubs, and small retail units that need a reliable, low-cost way to display changing information at the point of entry. If you need a larger display surface or additional stability for a busier or more exposed site, it is worth exploring the wider range before purchasing.
If you are unsure which board format suits your site best, the team is happy to talk it through with you.
From £28.20(£33.84 inc VAT)
This Beaumont chalkboard combines a rewritable blackboard surface with an oak frame, offering a practical and presentable way to show menus, daily specials or front-of-house announcements. It is available in three sizes: 636x486mm, 936x636mm and 1236x736mm. Choose your size using the option above.
In a busy hospitality setting, being able to update messaging without printing costs or lead times is a real advantage. The surface wipes clean between services, so changing a lunchtime menu to an evening offer, or swapping out a sold item mid-service, takes seconds. The oak frame suits both traditional and contemporary interiors and gives the board enough presence to work as a display piece in its own right.
- Rewritable surface for quick menu and specials updates
- Oak frame suits a range of interior styles
- Wipe-clean surface works with chalk and chalk markers
- Suitable for wall mounting, and the smaller sizes also suit countertop or easel display
- Suited to pubs, cafés, restaurants and hotel dining rooms
There are no electrical or installation requirements beyond securing the board to a suitable wall surface. Check that the fixing method suits your wall, as solid masonry, studwork and plasterboard all differ. The board is for indoor use only and is not suited to kitchens, dishwash areas or other high-humidity places.
The smaller size suits a counter or secondary display. The middle size gives enough writing area for a full specials menu or drinks list. The largest size suits multi-section menus read from a distance, such as a main menu board in a smaller venue or an entrance display.
If you are fitting out a new venue or refreshing your front-of-house displays and want a steer on size, the team is happy to help.
£37.77(£45.32 inc VAT)
This is a straightforward, wall-mounted chalkboard from Beaumont, finished with an antique pine frame. It is designed for front-of-house use in commercial hospitality settings — pubs, cafés, restaurants and similar venues — where operators need a reliable, reusable surface for displaying menus, daily specials, or general customer messaging.
The chalkboard surface takes chalk cleanly and wipes down without leaving heavy ghosting, which matters in operations that update their boards frequently throughout the day. The antique pine frame gives it a warm, traditional aesthetic that works well in country pub environments, rustic dining rooms, and independent café interiors, though it can read just as comfortably in more contemporary settings depending on how it is positioned.
From a practical standpoint, the benefits are simple:
- Fully reusable — no ongoing cost of printed menus or inserts
- Flexible messaging suits daily specials, seasonal menus, or event announcements
- The framed format sits neatly on a ledge or mounts flat to the wall
- Easy to clean down between services or menu changes
There are no electrical, water, or gas requirements. Installation is limited to deciding how and where to hang or display the board. It is worth confirming the mounting position in advance — particularly in listed buildings or rented premises where wall fixings may require permission. This size works well as a single prominent display near an entrance or bar. Venues needing multiple boards across a larger space may want to consider whether a smaller format suits secondary positions better.
This board is well suited to independent pubs, cafés, bistros, and smaller restaurants where a hand-written, characterful display fits the environment. Operators running high-turnover, fast-casual formats may prefer a printed or digital menu system for speed — though many use a chalkboard like this alongside those for specials or promotions.
If you are unsure whether this size or style suits your space, the team are happy to talk it through.
£69.52(£83.42 inc VAT)
The Beaumont peg board is a straightforward, wall-mountable display board used to present menus, daily specials, pricing boards or promotional messaging. Letters, numbers and symbols slot into horizontal peg rows, allowing the content to be updated quickly without tools or specialist knowledge.
In a busy front-of-house environment, the ability to change a board in seconds during service is a practical advantage. Whether it is updating a tap list at a bar, swapping out a lunch special in a café, or amending pricing at a food counter, the peg system allows staff to make changes without taking the board down or replacing printed material.
- Changeable letter and number pegs for flexible messaging
- Suitable for menus, daily specials, pricing and promotions
- Quick to update during or between service periods
- Well suited to bars, cafés, coffee shops and food counters
- Wall-mountable for clear front-of-house visibility
In terms of placement, the board works best when fixed at a height that is comfortably readable by standing customers, and in a position with reasonable ambient light. It is worth considering whether the board will be viewed from a distance, as peg letter sizing affects legibility across a room.
This size is well suited to smaller venues or secondary display points — a single daily specials board beside a counter, for example. Operators running larger menu boards or needing to display a greater volume of text across a wider area may want to consider a larger format board.
If you are unsure which size or style of display board suits your venue layout, the team is happy to talk it through with you.
£87.38(£104.86 inc VAT)
This peg board from Beaumont is a straightforward, reusable display board designed for communicating short messages, daily specials, or promotional copy directly to customers and staff. The board uses evenly spaced holes across its face, allowing individual peg letters and numbers to be arranged and rearranged as needed without tools or specialist knowledge.
In a front-of-house setting, a board like this earns its place through reliability and ease of use. Messages can be updated quickly between services, which suits venues where the specials menu changes daily or where team briefings are posted in a back-of-house area. The consistent hole spacing keeps text aligned and legible, giving a tidy appearance even when updated in a hurry during a busy shift.
- Suitable for displaying daily specials, pricing, or short messages
- Reusable — content can be changed between services without damage to the board
- Consistent hole spacing keeps lettering neat and aligned
- Lightweight and easy to mount or reposition as needed
- Compatible with standard peg letter sets (sold separately)
Installation is straightforward — the board can be wall-mounted or placed in a suitable stand depending on your front-of-house layout. It is worth confirming that the peg letters you intend to use are compatible with this board's hole spacing before ordering, as letter sets vary between suppliers.
This board is well suited to cafés, pubs, bistros, and smaller restaurants where a practical, low-cost display solution is needed. For larger venues or high-footfall environments requiring greater visibility, a larger format board may be more appropriate.
If you have questions about letter compatibility or want to discuss display options for your site, the team is happy to help before you place an order.
From £18.98(£22.78 inc VAT)
This wallboard from Olympia provides a straightforward, reusable surface for displaying handwritten menus, daily specials, event information or directional messaging. It comes in 450x600mm and 600x800mm. The black board face accepts both traditional chalk and liquid chalk markers, making it easy to update content quickly between services or as offerings change throughout the day. The frame is wooden and gives a clean, presentable appearance that suits most front-of-house settings.
For hospitality operators who need to communicate with customers without committing to printed signage, this kind of board is a practical everyday tool. It is well suited to cafes, bars, pubs, restaurants and event venues where menus or messaging change regularly. The surface wipes clean between uses, so content is easy to refresh at the start of each service.
- Black writing surface compatible with chalk and liquid chalk markers
- Wooden frame provides a clean, presentable appearance for front-of-house use
- Suitable for indoor use and for covered outdoor areas
- Simple to mount on a wall, keeping floor space free
- Available in 450x600mm and 600x800mm
As a wall-mounted board, it keeps the display off counters and tables, which is useful in tighter front-of-house layouts. Chalk, liquid chalk markers and cleaning solutions are sold separately, so factor those in when ordering. Liquid chalk markers can need a slightly more thorough clean than traditional chalk.
Think about where the board will sit and how far away customers will be reading it from when choosing a size. If it is positioned outdoors, sheltering it from direct rain will help preserve the frame over time. If you are unsure which size suits your space, the team is happy to help.
£15.01(£18.01 inc VAT)
This is a pack of six sets of 31mm plastic peg board letters from Beaumont, giving a total of 390 characters, in red, white or yellow. The letters are designed to slot into compatible Beaumont peg boards, so operators can compose and update messages, menus, daily specials or pricing displays quickly and without specialist tools.
The colours contrast against black or dark peg boards, helping customers read displayed information from a distance in busy front-of-house settings such as cafe counters, bar areas and canteens. Because the letters are removable and interchangeable, boards can be updated between services without reprinting signage. Six sets in one pack also leaves a reserve stock if individual pieces are mislaid.
These letters are designed for use with Beaumont peg board systems and are not compatible with all peg board formats, so confirm your board type before ordering. Choose your colour using the option above. If you are unsure which letter size or colour suits your display, we are happy to help.
From £13.10(£15.72 inc VAT)
This is a set of plastic letters for use with standard peg board display systems, in white or yellow. The 20mm character size is a common format for menu boards, daily specials displays and general front-of-house signage where text needs to be legible at short to medium range.
Peg board letter sets are widely used in cafes, bars, delis and casual dining operations where menu items, prices or messages change regularly. Swapping letters without specialist tools or reprinting suits operators who update their offer frequently.
- Reusable letters allow fast, low-cost menu updates
- Choice of white or yellow for contrast on standard dark peg boards
- 20mm size suits short-range reading at counters and service points
- No tools required, letters peg directly into compatible boards
The main practical consideration is board compatibility: these letters are designed for peg board systems with the appropriate hole spacing and peg diameter. Choose your colour using the option above. If you are unsure whether this size will work with your existing board, the team is happy to help before you order.
£16.04(£19.25 inc VAT)
This wall-mounted chalkboard from Olympia provides a straightforward, reusable display surface for menus, specials, or operational notices. The writing surface is framed in pine wood and faced with a melamine board, which accepts chalk cleanly and wipes down without leaving permanent residue or ghosting over time.
In a front-of-house setting, boards like this earn their place through simplicity. There are no moving parts, no power requirements, and no consumables beyond chalk. Staff can update the board quickly between services, and the melamine surface holds writing clearly enough to be read across a dining room or at a counter.
- Melamine surface wipes clean easily between updates
- Pine frame gives a presentable finish suited to casual dining and café environments
- Wall-mounting keeps the display fixed and visible without taking up floor or counter space
- Mounting fittings included — no need to source fixings separately
- Suitable for indoor use in restaurants, cafés, pubs, and similar hospitality settings
This is a practical indoor display board. It is not designed for outdoor use or high-humidity environments such as open kitchen pass areas where steam is persistent. If you need a larger format or a free-standing option, there are other configurations in the range worth considering.
Well suited to independent cafés, bistros, pubs, and smaller restaurant operations that need a reliable, low-maintenance menu board without a significant outlay. If you are fitting out a number of display points or have specific size requirements, it is worth having a conversation with us before ordering.
£11.57(£13.88 inc VAT)
This Olympia magnetic board is a straightforward, wipe-clean surface designed for back-of-house communication and day-to-day operational notes. The board features a lightweight aluminium frame and is supplied with wall-mounting fittings, making it easy to position in staff rooms, prep kitchens, office areas, or anywhere a visible, rewritable surface is useful.
The magnetic surface accepts magnetic discs or fixings, allowing notes, rotas, or reminders to be pinned in place without adhesives. It is intended for use with chalk only — marker pens should not be used on this surface, as they are likely to cause permanent staining.
Practical day-to-day uses include:
- Staff rotas and shift reminders in back-of-house areas
- Allergen or specials notices in prep and pass areas
- General operational notes in office or break room settings
- Conference and training room use
This is a simple, functional board suited to low-cost, everyday use. It is not a commercial menu display board and is not designed for customer-facing front-of-house environments where a more durable or premium finish would typically be expected.
If you are unsure whether this board suits your intended application or environment, the team is happy to point you in the right direction.
£69.16(£82.99 inc VAT)
The Beaumont peg board is a straightforward, wall-mountable display board designed for presenting changeable text in a commercial hospitality setting. Letters, numbers and symbols are slotted into rows of pegs, allowing staff to update menus, daily specials, pricing or promotional messages quickly without specialist tools or printed materials.
In busy front-of-house environments, the ability to change a board quickly during service has genuine practical value. Whether rotating tap selections in a craft beer bar, updating brew options in a speciality coffee shop, or displaying the day's specials in a restaurant or café, this format keeps messaging current without the cost and lead time of printed signage.
- Simple peg-slot system allows fast, tool-free message changes
- Compact format suits counter-top positioning or wall mounting
- Well suited to bars, cafés, and casual dining front-of-house areas
- Reusable display reduces ongoing spend on printed signage
- Compatible with standard Beaumont letter and number sets
Installation is minimal — the board can be wall-mounted or positioned on a counter or shelf depending on your layout. It is worth confirming that you have the appropriate letter and symbol sets to hand before use, as the board itself does not include character tiles unless specified at the point of order.
This size is well suited to smaller venues or secondary display positions where a compact board is more appropriate than a larger format. For busier or larger front-of-house areas where more text or greater visibility is needed, a larger board may be worth considering.
If you are unsure which size or configuration suits your space, the team are happy to help you work it out.
£19.21(£23.05 inc VAT)
This wall-mounted chalkboard from Olympia is a straightforward, practical display board suited to cafés, restaurants, pubs, and similar hospitality settings. It consists of a solid pine frame with a melamine writing surface, designed for use with liquid chalk markers rather than traditional chalk. Mounting fittings are included.
The melamine surface wipes clean easily between updates, which makes it practical for daily specials boards, menu changes, or promotional messaging. It holds marker ink clearly without excessive ghosting when wiped, keeping the board presentable through repeated use across a service week.
- Pine frame provides a natural, unfussy look suited to a range of interior styles
- Melamine surface wipes clean quickly between menu updates
- Compatible with standard liquid chalk board markers
- Wall-mounting fittings included — no additional fixings required
- Compact footprint suits counter areas, entrance displays, or wall runs
Installation is straightforward. The board mounts flush to any solid wall surface using the supplied fittings. It is worth confirming the fixing points align with a suitable wall substrate — timber studwork or masonry — before installation, particularly in older or tiled environments. The board is not intended for outdoor use.
This size works well for single-page specials, short drinks menus, or directional signage in smaller venues. Larger operations running multiple boards across a dining room or bar area may find it worth considering a bigger format to maintain readability at distance.
If you are unsure which size or format would work best for your space, the team is happy to help you think it through.
£5.61(£6.73 inc VAT)
This Olympia magnetic board is a straightforward, practical wall display tool with a wipe-clean surface that accepts both dry-erase markers and magnetic accessories such as discs and clips. The black finish gives it a clean, neutral appearance that works equally well in back-of-house staff areas and front-facing service or conference spaces.
The board is built around a lightweight aluminium frame, which makes it easy to handle during installation without sacrificing rigidity. Wall fittings are included, so there is no need to source additional fixings before mounting. The surface is smooth and wipes down cleanly, which matters in environments where boards are updated frequently during service.
- Wipe-clean surface works with dry-erase markers and magnetic accessories
- Lightweight aluminium frame is easy to mount and reposition
- Magnetic surface allows notes, rotas, and labels to be fixed without writing directly on the board
- Neutral black finish suits both kitchen and front-of-house environments
- Wall fittings included — no additional hardware required
This size is well suited to smaller teams or single-station use — for example, a daily prep rota, allergen notices, or a service briefing board in a compact kitchen or staff room. If you need a larger display area to cover multiple sections or a full team briefing wall, a larger format board would be worth considering.
If you are unsure whether this size fits your intended use, the team is happy to help you work through the options.
£82.60(£99.12 inc VAT)
This is a double-sided A-frame pavement board with a black wooden frame, designed for displaying menus, daily specials, or promotional messages in front-of-house settings. It is a straightforward, traditional format that most customers and operators will recognise immediately.
The double-sided layout means you can carry two different messages — a lunch menu on one face and an evening offer on the other, for example — without needing to rewrite or reprint between service periods. The frame construction gives it a more considered appearance than basic plastic alternatives, which suits venues where the board is visible to customers at the entrance or on a pavement.
Practical points worth knowing before purchasing:
- Double-sided design allows two separate messages to be displayed alternately
- Black wooden frame suits traditional and contemporary front-of-house aesthetics
- Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use in normal weather conditions
- A-frame format folds flat for storage when not in use
- Accepts standard chalk or liquid chalk markers
As an outdoor board, it performs reasonably well in light weather, though like most wooden-framed boards it is not intended for prolonged exposure to heavy rain. Positioning under a canopy or overhang will extend its working life considerably. If the board will be left outside consistently through winter, a fully weatherproof board may be a more practical choice.
This size suits most café, restaurant, and pub entrances. If you need a smaller format for a tight pavement area or a larger board for high footfall locations, there are alternative sizes available across the range.
If you are unsure which format or size suits your entrance best, the team is happy to help you think it through.
£82.60(£99.12 inc VAT)
This pavement board from Olympia is a straightforward, freestanding display board intended for use outside cafés, restaurants, pubs, and similar hospitality premises. It features a pine wood frame surrounding a melamine writing surface, which can be written on with standard chalk or liquid chalk markers and wiped clean between uses. The board is reversible, giving two usable faces for displaying menus, daily specials, or directional messaging.
The melamine surface is practical for everyday use — it cleans easily with a damp cloth and holds chalk writing clearly in most outdoor conditions. The pine frame gives the board a presentable, traditional appearance that suits a range of front-of-house settings without looking out of place.
- Reversible board — two usable writing faces
- Melamine surface wipes clean quickly between changes
- Pine wood frame suits traditional and casual hospitality settings
- Suitable for chalk and most liquid chalk markers
- Freestanding design requires no fixing or installation
It is worth bearing in mind that this is a display board rather than a heavy-duty outdoor sign. In exposed or high-footfall locations, consider whether a more robust or weighted board would better suit the environment. It is also advisable to bring the board inside during severe weather to prolong its condition.
This board is well suited to smaller hospitality operators — independent cafés, bistros, pubs, and similar venues — looking for a practical, presentable way to communicate with passing trade. For operators needing larger formats or more weather-resistant options, there are alternative boards in the range worth considering.
If you are unsure which size or style of pavement board would work best for your premises, the team is happy to help you choose.
£51.62(£61.94 inc VAT)
This is a classic double-sided A-frame pavement board with a black wooden frame, intended for displaying menus, daily specials, upcoming events, or promotional messages. It is a straightforward, functional piece of front-of-house kit that has been a staple outside cafés, restaurants, pubs, and hotels for many years.
The reversible board design means both faces can carry different messages, which is useful when you want to update offers throughout the day without wiping and rewriting the whole board. The wooden frame gives it a more traditional, considered appearance compared to plain plastic alternatives, which suits venues where kerb appeal and presentation matter.
It is built to be used outdoors as well as inside, so it holds up reasonably well in typical UK weather conditions. That said, like any board of this type, it is worth bringing it in during heavy rain or high winds to protect both the frame and any chalk or pen writing on the surface.
This board works well for most independent restaurants, cafés, delis, pubs, and hotel entrances looking for a reliable, no-fuss way to communicate with passing trade. It is a practical, cost-effective option for a single prominent display point. Operators needing multiple boards across a larger site may want to consider whether a heavier-duty or larger-format option better suits their footfall and visibility requirements.
If you are unsure which board size or style fits your entrance layout or brand aesthetic, the team is happy to help you think it through.
£51.62(£61.94 inc VAT)
This is a freestanding pavement display board from Olympia, designed for outdoor or entrance use in cafés, restaurants, takeaways, and similar food service settings. It consists of a solid pine wood frame housing a reversible melamine writing surface, giving operators two usable faces for menus, daily specials, or directional messaging.
The melamine surface wipes clean easily, which matters in a catering environment where boards get updated frequently throughout the day. The pine frame gives it a presentable, traditional appearance that suits most front-of-house settings without looking out of place alongside other street furniture.
- Reversible board — two usable writing faces from a single unit
- Melamine surface cleans quickly between menu changes
- Pine frame provides a neat, professional appearance
- Suitable for pavement, entrance, or indoor directional use
- Straightforward to store flat when not in service
It is worth noting that this board is designed for relatively sheltered conditions. In exposed or high-footfall pavement areas it may need weighting or securing, and like most timber-framed boards it is best brought inside in poor weather to prolong its life.
This board is well suited to smaller independents — cafés, bistros, delis, and takeaways — that need a practical, cost-effective way to display changing menus or promotions at their entrance. If you need something more weather-resistant or with a larger writing area, it is worth looking at alternative formats before committing.
If you are unsure whether this size and format suits your setting, the team is happy to point you in the right direction.
