Menu Printing in London from people who know print
A menu is handled, read and seen by almost every customer who visits your venue, so the right paper, format and finish make a real difference. Printpal London prints menus for restaurants, cafés, bars, takeaways, hotels and hospitality businesses across London. You deal with one person from quote to delivery, who checks your artwork and panel layout, advises on paper, fold and lamination, and keeps your job on schedule for your opening or menu change.
Choose flat, folded or multi page menus from A6 to A3 or a custom size, on silk, gloss or uncoated paper with matt, gloss or soft touch lamination. Need more panels? See our folded leaflet printing, or for larger menus and wine lists, booklet printing.

Menu Paper and Lamination Guide
The paper and finish affect how a menu feels and how well it copes with being handled every day. Tell us how it will be used and we will steer you to the right choice.
Silk
A smooth coated stock that gives food photography a clean, professional look.
Gloss
More shine for colourful food photography and promotional menus.
Uncoated
An understated feel that suits contemporary and premium menus.
Matt lamination
A smooth, low shine finish that suits contemporary branding.
Gloss lamination
Makes colours and food photography more vibrant, with a wipeable surface.
Soft touch lamination
A tactile, premium finish where presentation really matters.
Our laminated menus use a thin film rather than encapsulation, so the trimmed edges stay exposed. Tell us if your menus need to be fully waterproof.

What our customers say about our menus and hospitality print
Honestly the most beautiful name cards and menus on behalf of Haus of Nova at Mr Porter London! The service was immaculate and even advised on the finish and colour for my print. Will be returning! Thank you 🙂
The best customer service I've ever experienced in a printing location. I needed 1000 leaflets printed - I sent them the order just before 14:00 and they were all ready by 16:19 and for the most reasonable price (I actually researched 10 companies and got quotes). Printpal is the most affordable, fastest turnaround & top quality staff who are all very friendly.
I needed to print urgently some sort of leaflets. Just made a basic research on google, and found several companies. Really enjoyed the way the person from the company (I think the owner) talked to me. Placed the order, and all the small things were quite fast sorted out. Absolutely a lovely service and fast printing within hours (2-3 hours). Would recommend to anyone in a hurry.
Printpal is our go to company for all our printing. They are quick and efficient. They design things exactly how you want or can offer better alternative designs. I recently wanted a wall sticker for my babies room, gave them the information and within days they sent me a few options and I had the final printed product within a week.
I highly recommend Printpal to anyone. I have built a great relationship with them over the years at my previous company, using them regularly for a range of print jobs, from business stationery to marketing material; from flyers to large banners. I have always received a fantastic friendly service and now I recommend them to my clients for my freelance work. Their rates are also extremely competitive.
