I have a draw full of menus that I've been using for the past 7 years (they have been re-printed in that time
) and it works like this:
Each menu has
This system has served me well but it has limitations:-
Rather than a draw full of pre-printed menus on A5 photo glossy paper and folding in half being constantly re-used, I print a new one every day on A4 paper folded length-wise. It means I have to prepare it the night before but the advantages are I can put on it whatever I like (depending on the contents of the fridge) and it has the date and weather forecast on the front which looks kind of neat and special. I can also put more information on this bigger sheet like side orders, porridge, there's even a description of how haggis is made (we often get asked).
I started this system yesterday as we only get 2's and 4's in this time of year, so I have time to adjust in the kitchen.
Just wonder how others organise their menus.

- Full Scottish Breakfast
- Full Cooked Vegetarian Breakfast
- Special Of The Day
This system has served me well but it has limitations:-
- I've been cooking the same old specials for the past 7 years and I'd like to try new things
- If there is something different in season or on special offer I can't take advantage
