This page collects 18 free menu mockups: layered Photoshop files for restaurant, café and bar menus, from clipboards and table tents to menu boards, a sidewalk sign and a Christmas dinner table. Eight are free Adobe Stock templates, five come from Mockup Cloud, and five are posts here on Mckups. Every file was checked as free on 11 November 2026.
A menu is the one piece of a restaurant’s branding that every guest actually reads, slowly, with the type size and the paper doing half the selling. Flat on screen it always looks fine. On a clipboard next to a plate, you see straight away whether the prices line up and whether the starters fit on one side. That’s the job of a menu mockup.
Christmas menu mockup (in season now)
1. Christmas dinner menu on a plate
A tall menu card tucked into a Santa hat on a white plate, red tablecloth, wine glasses and cutlery around it. It’s a 5184 × 3456 px Photoshop template from McLittle Stock where you add your own text and images.
Festive menus go to print around now, and this is the scene I’d send a client with the first proof: it answers “does it feel like Christmas?” before anyone argues about fonts. Get the Christmas menu mockup on Adobe Stock (free, Adobe asks for a free account).

2. Clipboard menu next to a dinner plate
Top view: an A4 clipboard beside a plate of pasta and cutlery on a soft grey surface. Avelina Studio, 3500 × 2350 px, fully editable. The dish in the preview is for display only, so plan to shoot or place your own food. Download it from Adobe Stock.
3. Clipboard menu with a pen, three versions
A portrait clipboard with a pen clipped on, 3378 × 5067 px, with three design options in the file. The tall format makes it a good fit for Pinterest pins and Instagram stories of a new menu. McLittle Stock on Adobe Stock.

18. Beer bottles with a menu

How to put your menu design into a mockup
Open the PSD in Adobe Photoshop, find the smart object layer and double-click its thumbnail. Paste your menu, save, close the tab, and the scene updates.
Two things save a second round. Use the real menu text, never lorem ipsum: a menu with 14 mains looks nothing like one with 6, and the client will notice. And zoom the finished mockup to 100%. If the prices are hard to read there, they’ll be hard to read at a dim table.
The Adobe Stock templates (#1–4, 8, 10, 11, 18) are free with a free Adobe account. The Mockup Cloud files need a free Mockup Cloud account to download, and each item page lists an extended licence. The posts here (#5–7, 12, 13) say who made each file and how it can be used.
