Gastropub Menu Template

The whole definition of a gastropub is the order of the board. A pub puts beer first and feeds you; a gastropub puts the kitchen first and happens to have good beer. Reverse the blocks and the room reads as the other thing, whatever the food is actually like.

A gastropub menu therefore runs four sections and sixteen lines: Small Plates, Mains, Cheese, Beer. The beer block is short on purpose — six lines, chosen to go with the food rather than to cover every style — and it sits at the foot where a wine list would be in a restaurant.

Ink and bone at 1280×724 is the reference build for 2026: numbered courses, two-line descriptions, provenance where it earns the space. It reads as a restaurant menu that happens to end in beer, which is the intended effect.

Charcoal and sage at 1280×724 keeps the same order but adds a pairing mark linking each main to one of the six beers. That mark is the only thing on the page doing a job neither a pub nor a restaurant menu does.

Outside the door the order changes again: warm grey and olive at 1280×2264 stacks the four blocks, with Small Plates given the top third because that is what sells to people deciding whether to come in at all.

Seasonality needs a slot, not a rewrite: parchment and deep plum at 1280×724 trims Mains to four and leaves a dated block for whatever the kitchen got that week, which is how a gastropub menu stays credible rather than static.

Courses, descriptions, pairing marks and the beer block are all editable, and the cheese section can be dropped without disturbing the rest. Other beer list template cover the beer side in full, the wider library holds more sample menu, and pricing comes from the point of sale — the same connection behind the bar and pub menu boards that keep a kitchen board and a bar list in step.
