Menu Printing in Lisburn & Belfast
A well-produced menu is silent salesmanship. It influences what customers order, communicates the character of your establishment, and — if it feels right in the hand — sets a tone before the first drink arrives. PCR Print produces menus for restaurants, cafes, bars, hotels, and event caterers across Northern Ireland, with options for laminated single-sheet menus, folded card menus, and stapled menu booklets.
For seasonal menus that change frequently, our digital press makes short runs practical and cost-effective — order the quantity you need for the current menu rather than warehousing hundreds of outdated copies. For premium menus that need to last, our 350gsm laminated card menus are robust, wipe-clean, and look as good on the table as the food does on the plate.

Menu Printing buying guide
Menus for NI hospitality
Lisburn and Belfast restaurants, cafes, pubs and hotels reprint menus more often than almost any other printed item. Digital short runs make seasonal specials, allergen updates and new wine lists practical without a huge minimum. We print flat A4/A5 menus, half-fold and C-fold formats, plus laminated and waterproof options that survive busy service. Collect from Lisburn or send them straight to the venue.
Who this printing is for
Restaurants & cafes: Main menus, specials boards, table cards, drinks lists, and children's menus for NI dining establishments. Hotels & accommodation: Room service menus, bar menus, restaurant menus, and event catering guides for NI hotels. Events & catering: Wedding breakfast menus, corporate dinner menus, event catering cards, and food station signage. Takeaways & delivery: Single-sheet takeaway menus for door drops, counter display, and inclusion with delivery orders. Community & charity events: Function room menus, community lunch cards, and charity dinner programmes.
Artwork that prints cleanly
Supply artwork at the final print size with 3mm bleed on all sides in CMYK colour mode. For laminated menus, avoid placing important content near the edge — lamination adds a slight border. For menus that will be updated frequently, keep the template design flexible so content can be swapped without a full redesign. Resolution: 300 DPI at print size for all images and photographs. Consider using the reverse side of single-sheet menus for wine lists, dessert menus, or allergen information. Embed fonts or convert all text to outlines before exporting your PDF.
