Freddie Wallace – Pub Equipment View Profile →

- Con: Can be fiddly to snap out and sort initially, so best to keep them organised.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Corner Slice, a bustling pizza takeaway in Bristol known for its creative weekly specials, was using handwritten chalkboards which often looked messy and were time-consuming to update during a busy service.
"We needed something that looked professional but was still quick to change. The Beaumont letters are brilliant. They look sharp, and we can swap out our 'Pizza of the Week' in about two minutes flat. Customers have even commented on how much clearer the menu is."
Ravi Singh – Owner
The team now saves around 15 minutes per day on updating menus, allowing more focus on food prep during peak hours.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before first use, carefully snap all the characters from their plastic frames.
- We strongly recommend storing your letters in a compartmentalised tray for quick and easy access.
- Simply push the pegs on the back of each character firmly into the holes on your peg board.
- For a perfectly professional look, use a ruler or a taut string line to keep your text straight.
Keeping It Going
- If letters get a bit grubby, just wipe them with a damp cloth and a touch of mild detergent.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive scourers, as these can damage the plastic finish.
- Always ensure the letters are completely dry before putting them away in storage.
- Try to keep unused letters stored away from direct, prolonged sunlight to prevent the plastic from becoming brittle.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do these letters come with the actual board?
A: No, the peg board is sold separately. This product is a complete Beaumont white character set containing 540 letters and numbers.
Q: How many of each letter and number are included?
A: The pack contains 6 full sets of the alphabet and numbers, which provides a generous distribution of all characters, including plenty of commonly used vowels.

A: They are made from a durable, rigid plastic that is designed for longevity and to be easily handled during frequent use.

You might wonder why, in a digital age, peg boards are still so popular in the UK's best cafés and pubs. It comes down to two things: tactile charm and unbeatable speed. Unlike a digital screen that can feel cold or a chalkboard that gets messy, a peg board has a warm, authentic feel that customers connect with. Think of it like the difference between vinyl records and music streaming – it’s about the experience and personality. For a manager, it’s a tangible, immediate way to update information. There's no logging in, no software to crash, just you, the letters, and a message you can change in seconds. It’s simple, reliable, and it just works.
