How to use it

Pick the cafe menu (A5) or the dinner menu (DL) and download the Word file.
Replace the venue name, then type your dishes and prices, one per line.
Add an allergy line. Check the Food Standards Agency's allergen guidance for food businesses (Food Standards Scotland in Scotland) before you serve food to the public.
Print on thick paper or card, cut along the dashed lines, and trim the dinner menu cards to size.
Laminate or slip the cards into menu holders if you will reuse them.

About this template

Both come as a blank and as a filled-in example, in Word so you can retype every line and in PDF if you would rather write by hand. The red and black colours print well on a home printer, and the type is Barlow, which stays readable on a busy table. The cafe menu has starters, mains, puddings and drinks, with room for a price on each line. The dinner menu fits three courses on one card, two to a sheet.

Questions

Can I change the section headings?

Yes. The Word file is fully editable, so rename STARTERS, MAINS and the rest, or delete the lines you do not need.

What size is the cafe menu?

A5, which prints on one sheet of A4 with a margin to spare. The dinner menu is DL, two per A4 sheet.

Do I need to list allergens?

If you sell food, the Food Standards Agency's allergen guidance for food businesses explains what allergen information you need to give customers. In Scotland, see Food Standards Scotland. This template does not give legal advice.

Can I print it on both sides?

Yes. Print a second page, flip the sheet, and use it for drinks or a children's menu.
