Bespoke Leather Menu Covers in London

A Stalwart menu cover tells your story before the first dish is served — craftsmanship, care, and London character in every detail.

Craft, Collaboration and Character

When a guest picks up your menu, they feel your brand. In a city where standards are sky-high, our bespoke leather menu covers help London restaurants, hotels, and members’ clubs make that first touch unforgettable.
At Stalwart Crafts, every cover is handmade from ethical European leather — built to last, built to belong.

Listening First, Creating Together

Every project starts with a conversation. From the calm of Marylebone to the buzz of Soho, we tailor each menu to its setting.

We work with trusted European tanneries to offer leathers that range from supple to structured, rustic to refined, natural to easy-clean.

If we don’t already have what you need, we’ll find it — or make it. That’s how we created a brand-new leather for Zuma Restaurant Group, sourced exclusive hides for Alfred’s Dunhill, and matched the look for Lita Marylebone.

“You name it, we listen — and we make it work.”

From Concept to Cover

Once we understand your brief, we send a personal video presentation showing leathers and colours suited to your venue. You can request a sample pack or view a digital prototype with your logo before we begin.

Production happens in our own workshop in the Netherlands, next to our tannery. Each piece is cut, finished, and checked by hand before shipping.

Typical Lead Time: 3 weeks
Express service available for London projects.

Branding and Finishes That Last

We emboss your logo with heat and pressure using a custom-made metal stamp — creating a deep, tactile impression that endures daily service. On thicker hides like our Saddlehide Classic, the result feels substantial and timeless.

Prefer a touch of contrast? Choose foil stamping in copper, gold, silver, white, black, or any bespoke tone.

Paper Fittings and Formats

Standard sizes include A4, A5, B5, A4/23, A4½, and square 210 × 210 or 240 × 240 mm.
Need something bespoke? We’ll create it — just as we developed the Gold Bar System with Markus Thesleff of the Thesleff Restaurant Group. Collaboration drives everything we do.

What Leather Should You Choose?

Picking the right leather isn’t just about looks—it’s about durability, texture, and whether it belongs in a premium venue.

At Stalwart Crafts, we use full-grain leather—the best you can get. No fake coatings, no mystery blends—just natural, durable leather that ages beautifully instead of cracking or peeling after a few months.

And here’s the kicker—our leather is LWG Gold Standard certified, meaning it’s ethically sourced, fully traceable, and produced with minimal environmental impact. Less waste, no dodgy chemicals, and a supply chain that actually makes a difference.

If you want menu covers that last years instead of months, don’t fall for cheap imitations. Go for the real deal – we’re happy to provide you with examples.

Pay for Value, Not Just Price

So, we’ve talked about cheaper menus in the £10-20 price range. And while some options might look good at first, they won’t last long or be the most ethical choice.

So, how much more do you need to spend for a quality menu cover?

The answer is about the price of a glass of Chardonnay…

Yes, prices of a glass of white gold to paintstripper may vary, but let’s say £30 gets you the holy grail of leather menus—so even if your food is terrible, at least you had a good first impression.

But even just £5 more than the £20 mark gets you a decent leather menu cover—one that won’t fall apart after a few months,

And all joking aside will probably outlive your business (sad face).

Not only will they outlast your business, they will have been a constant—a menu cover that won’t let you down, looks pristine every single day, and—unlike your staff—actually gets better with age.
