Expert Review and Insights

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Anchor & Hope, a bustling riverside pub in Bristol, needed to replace their tatty, dog-eared menus to better reflect their high-quality food offering and newly refurbished interior.
"We needed something that looked smart but could handle a hectic weekend service. These Olympia menu covers are brilliant – they look great, a quick wipe and they’re good as new, and they don't cost a fortune to replace if one happens to go walkabout with a customer."
Robert Green – Landlord
The upgrade resulted in a noticeable improvement in table presentation and reduced their annual menu reprinting costs by over 40% due to the superior protection offered by the covers.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Simply print your menus onto standard A4 paper.
- Gently flex the cover and slide one sheet into each of the transparent pockets.
- Ensure the paper is sitting flat and centred for the best presentation.
- For extra flair, thread a decorative gold cord (compatible model E227) through the eyelets.
Keeping It Going
- For daily cleaning, just use a soft, damp cloth with a mild detergent.
- Avoid using abrasive scouring pads or harsh chemicals, as they can scratch the PVC surface.
- Always dry the covers thoroughly before stacking and storing them.
- Store them stacked flat in a dry place to help them maintain their shape long-term.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How many pages does this menu cover display?
A: It is designed to display two A4 pages, one on each side when the cover is opened.
Q: Is the material flexible or rigid?
A: It's made from a semi-rigid padded PVC. It's sturdy and protective but has enough flex to be handled comfortably.
Q: Can I write on the PVC surface with a marker?
A: We wouldn't recommend it. These covers are designed to hold paper inserts, and marker ink may permanently stain the PVC.
Q: Are the internal pockets fully waterproof?
A: The pockets are open at the top for easy insertion of paper. They offer excellent protection from spills but are not fully waterproof if submerged.
Q: What is the best way to clean these menu covers?
A: Simply use a soft, damp cloth and a little mild, soapy water. Avoid abrasive pads or harsh chemical cleaners.
Q: What are the exact dimensions?
A: The external size is 315mm (H) x 235mm (W) x 11mm (D), perfectly sized to hold A4 sheets.
Q: Does the cover come with paper inserts?
A: No, this product is for the restaurant PVC menu sleeve only. You will need to print your own A4 menus.
Q: Is the black colour likely to fade over time?
A: The PVC is colour-fast and designed for the demands of a commercial environment, so it should resist fading with proper care and indoor use.
