Expert Review and Insights
This Beaumont easel is one of those front-of-house items that punches well above its weight. It's not just a holder; it's a statement piece that subtly improves the ambience. The finish feels authentic and inviting, making it a far smarter choice than plastic alternatives for any venue wanting to create a quality, considered atmosphere from the moment guests sit down.

- Pro: The rich, dark wood finish looks fantastic against both light and dark tabletops.
- Con: It's designed for rigid boards; flimsy paper menus will need a backing card.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Bridge Inn, a riverside pub in York, was looking to replace its collection of mismatched, worn-out plastic menu holders. They wanted something that would reflect the pub's traditional, cosy interior and make their new specials menu stand out.
"We chose the Beaumont easels because the red mahogany finish was a perfect match for our wooden bar and tables. They look so much smarter, and it feels like they’ve always been here. The small details matter, and our customers have definitely noticed the upgrade."
Robert Green – General Manager
The pub reported that the new easels made the specials menus more prominent, contributing to a noticeable increase in orders from the specials board.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Unpack the easel from its box – no assembly is required.
- Place it on a flat, stable surface like a tabletop or counter.
- Simply rest your A4 or A5 display board onto the front ledge.
- Adjust the position as needed for the best customer visibility.
Keeping It Going
- To clean, wipe the surface with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth.
- Avoid using harsh chemical sprays or abrasive scouring pads, as this can damage the finish.
- Store in a dry place when not in use to protect the wood.
- Periodically check that it remains stable and hasn't been damaged during service.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use a laminated piece of paper in this stand?
A: Yes, as long as the lamination makes it stiff enough to stand upright. It is primarily designed for thicker, rigid Foamex or chalk boards for best results.
Q: Is the red mahogany a stain or a solid colour?
A: It is a rich, semi-transparent stain that allows some of the natural wood grain to show through, giving it an authentic look.
Q: Does the stand fold flat for storage?
A: No, this easel has a fixed, rigid design to ensure maximum stability while in use and does not fold.
Q: How do you switch between A4 and A5 display?
A: You don't need to adjust anything. The ledge is wide enough to support a portrait A4 board, and an A5 board simply sits in the same spot.
Q: Is it heavy?
A: It is designed to be lightweight enough for staff to move easily between tables, but has a wide enough base to be stable during service.
Q: Can I use it to display a landscape-oriented menu?
A: It's primarily designed for portrait (vertical) display. A landscape board may not be as stable, especially in the A4 size.
Q: What is the exact material?
A: The Beaumont CZ688 is made from wood with a mahogany-style finish, and includes some durable plastic components in its construction.
Q: How should I clean this café tabletop menu easel?
A: A simple wipe with a soft, damp cloth is all that's needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners to protect the wooden finish.

Having a holder that fits both A4 and A5 boards might seem like a small detail, but it’s a massive practical advantage. It means you don't need to buy and store two different types of stands for your various menus. You can use the exact same elegant easel for your comprehensive A4 dinner menu in the evening, and then swap it for a concise A5 lunch or drinks menu during the day.
Think of it like having an adjustable shelf in your storeroom. Instead of being stuck with one fixed height, you can adapt it to what you need to store. This Beaumont A4 A5 menu holder gives you that same flexibility right on the tabletop, ensuring your presentation is always perfectly scaled to the occasion, without the clutter or cost of multiple holder types.
