Wooden clipboards — timber menu clipboards for cafes, restaurants and events

A standard office clipboard is usually pressed hardboard or masonite, built for paperwork rather than presentation. Our timber clipboards are crafted from solid, satin-finished timber, so they bring natural warmth and grain to the table while standing up to the knocks of a busy service.

Each timber clipboard holds your menu securely under the clip, and selected styles add clear poly cover pockets that wipe clean between sittings. That means no dog-eared corners or water marks halfway through the week. It is a small detail that keeps your presentation sharp and durable through daily front of house use.

We make each wooden clipboard in two practical sizes.

The A4 wooden clipboard suits full food menus, wine lists and room-service cards, giving you room for detail and daily specials. The A5 wooden clipboard is the compact option for tighter tables, cocktail lists, or a single-page set menu. Both work beautifully as menu clipboards for table service, and a clipboard menu is quick to update: slide in a fresh sheet and you are ready for the next sitting.

Match the clipboard to your venue with a choice of clip and timber.

The gold clip adds a polished, elevated finish for fine dining and hotels, while the timber clip keeps things natural and understated for cafes and wine bars. A standard bulldog clip is the clean, no-fuss option. For the timber itself, choose warm walnut, richer blackwood, or a natural satin-finished timber that lets the grain speak for itself. Selected styles offer two or four clear poly pockets, so you can present multi-page menus on a single board.

Make your wooden clipboards unmistakably yours.

We offer in-house branding on timber, from custom engraving and foil to deep embossing of your logo or venue name. It is a simple way to turn a menu clipboard into a branded touchpoint your guests remember. Tell us what you have in mind and we will guide you on the right method for your timber and finish. Explore custom branding to get started. Need the menus printed too? Our menu printing service prints on premium 300GSM stock and installs straight into your clipboards.

Wooden clipboards earn their place across front of house.

They present restaurant menus and cafe menus with warmth, hold specials and wine lists at the bar, and dress reception desks, function tables and event or conference signage without looking corporate. They also work as simple wooden menu boards for daily specials. They are just as at home in an office or event space, but they are designed first for the hospitality venue that wants presentation to match the fit-out.

Not sure whether a clipboard or a cover is right?

A wooden clipboard is a single board with a clip, ideal for quick-change specials, set menus and casual table service. A timber menu cover is a hinged, multi-page folder built for a full a la carte offering. Many venues use both. Browse our timber menu covers and leather menu covers for hinged formats, or our bistro covers for a slimline everyday option.
