If you're cafe or restaurant menu is on the larger size - think sandwiches with a list of ingredients, a full brunch AND lunch menu, or rotating specials - you'll know how quickly a menu can start looking cluttered trying to cram everything in. Choosing the right board is imperative to display your menu in a way that's both clear to read and tidy on the eyes.
At George & Willy, we've designed our menus with this in mind, perfect for a busy cafe or restaurant with lots on offer. Here are our top recommendations to help you display your full menu without overwhelming your space:
1. Peg Letter Board
The Peg Letter Board is one of our most popular cafe menu board choices for both small and large menus alike. Each board comes with two font sizes of peg letters, with the smaller font perfect for listing everything included in the salad bowl you’ve got on offer—no skimping on detail here. The large-sized board measures a generous 110 cm x 60 cm, or you can double (or triple) up on our small or medium-sized boards to ensure you’ve got ample room for your restaurant wall menu.
Looking for a wooden cafe aesthetic version to suit your Scandinavian-style cafe? Check out our new Wooden Peg Letter Board to warm up your space.
2. The Felt Board Range
Our Felt Board Menu range includes our Felt Letter Board and Market Felt Board, which are perfect for a unique cafe menu board. With a very similar offering to our Peg Letter Boards, our Felt Boards come with crisp, white or black letters in two font sizes to ensure an elaborate menu stands out.
If you have a large wall that can accommodate a few moving parts, our Market Felt Board comes with 12 panels, meaning 12 individual menu boards to give each menu item its own stage. This setup is perfect for separating out food categories or giving every restaurant dish the attention it deserves, without overcrowding your menu display.
3. Ceiling Menu Board
If peg letters aren't your style, or you're short on wall space, never fear. Our Ceiling Menu Board suspends your menu from above, and is a blank slate for you to format your menu how you like, with no restriction for letter placement. Choose to use the prepackaged regular-sized letters, or add on some small-sized magnet letters to include those finer details like the coffee origin and flavour notes. We'd recommend the large size so you're not restricted for space, and these also look great side-by-side in a couple (or throuple).
4. Poster Hanging Menu Board
Last, but certainly not least, is our Poster Hanging Menu Board. This is the ultimate flexible option for your menu display. The sky’s the limit when it comes to designing and displaying your menu, however you like. Simply print your menu anywhere that offers A1 poster printing, clip it into place, and swap it out whenever you need—the perfect hack for doubling your menu as wall art, and switching it up on the reg to spice up your space.
Whatever you’re serving—be it a full brunch menu, a wine list full of flavor notes, or a pizza menu with all the trimmings—having the right menu board makes all the difference. Designed to keep things clear, tidy, and easy to update, our boards help you display your full menu without overwhelming your space. The hardest part? Choosing which one to go for.
