Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Corner Loaf, a popular artisan bakery in York, was using a tired plastic sign that often blew over and didn't reflect their high-quality image. They upgraded to the Beaumont A-Frame Chalkboard to better represent their brand on the busy historic street.
"We were fed up with signs that looked tatty after a few weeks. This Beaumont board is solid, looks the part, and our specials written on it genuinely draw people in from across the street. It feels like part of the shop now."
Mark Tomlinson – Owner
Within the first month, they noted a 15% increase in footfall during their 'lunch special' hours, which they directly attributed to the new sign's visibility and professional appearance.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Unfold the A-frame legs until the safety chain is taut.
- Place on a flat, stable surface away from major trip hazards.
- Before first use, 'season' the board: rub the side of a chalk stick over the entire surface, then wipe clean. This prevents 'ghosting' from your first message.
- Use either good-quality traditional chalk or liquid chalk pens for the best results.
Keeping It Going
- Wipe the board clean with a damp cloth for daily message changes.
- For a deeper clean, use a dedicated chalkboard cleaning solution to remove any residue.
- Always bring the board inside during heavy rain or overnight to protect the oak wood finish.
- Periodically check that the hinges and chain are tight and secure.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use liquid chalk pens on this board?
A: Yes, absolutely. Both liquid chalk pens and traditional stick chalk work perfectly on this surface for a clear, vibrant message.
Q: How heavy is it? Will it blow over easily?
A: It weighs 8.2kg. It's sturdy enough to handle typical British breezes, but we always recommend bringing it in during very high winds or storms.
Q: Is the wood treated for outdoor use?
A: The oak finish is durable and designed for outdoor display, but to maximise its lifespan and keep it looking its best, it's always best to bring it indoors during heavy rain and overnight.
Q: How do I clean the chalkboard surface?
A: A simple damp cloth is effective for most daily changes. For a deeper clean and to remove stubborn 'ghosting' marks, we recommend a dedicated chalkboard cleaning solution.
Q: Does the sign come pre-assembled?
A: Yes, the A-frame is fully assembled and ready to go. Just unfold it, and you can start creating your messages immediately.
Q: Is the chalkboard surface on both sides of the panel?
A: Yes, this is a key feature. The inner panel is a proper chalkboard on both sides, so you can flip it over to reveal a new message instantly.
Q: What are the dimensions of the actual writing area?
A: While the overall sign is 1100(H) x 665(W)mm, the visible chalkboard area is very generous, providing ample space for large, eye-catching text and drawings.
Q: Is this a Beaumont-branded product?
A: Yes, this is a genuine product from Beaumont, a trusted name in high-quality commercial bar and catering supplies.
The Beaumont Difference: A Sign of Quality
On a crowded high street, first impressions are everything.

Beaumont has a long-standing reputation for producing robust and thoughtfully designed hospitality essentials, and this restaurant A-frame sign is no exception. Unlike cheaper alternatives that can warp, fade, or feel flimsy, its solid wooden construction is built to endure the daily hustle of a busy commercial environment. This isn't an expense, but an investment in your brand's physical presence. It communicates a sense of permanence and care that customers notice, helping to build trust and footfall long before they've even stepped through the door.

When we say this board has a 'reversible design', we don't just mean you can turn it around. It means it has two completely separate, solid chalkboard panels. Think of it like having two tabs open on your computer; you can be working on tomorrow's 'Soup of the Day' menu on the back panel while today's 'Coffee & Cake Deal' is still out front, pulling in customers. When it's time to switch, you just flip the inner board around in seconds. There's no frantic wiping and rewriting during a busy service, which means less stress and more time to create eye-catching, well-thought-out messages.
Who Should Buy This?
- Cafés & Coffee Shops: Perfect for showcasing daily coffee blends, cake specials, and welcoming messages to passers-by.
- Pubs & Restaurants: Ideal for displaying your Sunday roast menu, happy hour times, or 'Guest Ale of the Week'.
- Boutique Retailers & Farm Shops: A charming way to announce new stock, special offers, or seasonal hours to high-street shoppers.
