Arancini Brothers is a chain of Restaurants in London that serves a variety of delicious risotto ball dishes. Arancini Brothers started out with a tiny market stall in Brick Lane then spread further afield to festivals, market stalls and private catering before opening their first store in Kentish Town. Now with locations including Old Street and Dalston in London, Arancini Brothers continues to grow with it’s unique and tasty menu.
Arancini Brothers were looking to improve their brand image and bring their stores in line with the owners’ modern mentality:
“We had always used traditional chalk boards or printed menu in our other stores. When we signed our new lease on Old Street we wanted a more modern and tech feel to the shop and digital menu boards were the obvious choice” – Dave Arkin, Director.
They specified that the digital menu boards must be easy to use and update content. They also wanted a reliable product that was suitable for commercial restaurant use.
Eclipse Digital Media provided a reliable digital menu board solution consisting of 3 x 32″ Samsung Smart Signage Platform (SSSP) displays and embed signage digital signage software licenses. This package provides Arancini Brothers with an all in one digital signage solution with the commercial grade displays having built in media players – the only thing required is connection to the internet and registration to their embed signage account. From there, Arancini Brothers now login, make any menu changes and publish content directly to the screens, almost instantly.
Not only did Eclipse Digital Media provide Arancini Brothers with the digital menu board solution, they also composed the layouts and created some bespoke animated content to use on the screens. Using the animated content was a perfect way to draw attention to the key areas of the menu.

The Sir Roger Tichborne is a luxury independent pub and restaurant in Loxwood, UK, offering excellent quality food using locally sourced produce. They also offer a wide selection of real ales locally and nationally sourced featuring their very own locally brewed by Loxwood Tichborne Ale “Tich”.
With the new Allergy Information law changes coming into force on 13th December 2014, The Sir Roger Tichborne were looking for a solution to communicate the food allergen information of all their food items to consumers.
They were also looking for a more modern approach to provide daily specials information to their customers but most importantly it needed to be easy to update and fit within the warm atmosphere of the venue.
Allergy Information Board
Eclipse Digital Media provided a cloud based digital signage solution powered by embedsignage.com. The solution includes a 32″ ELO touch screen for the Allergy Information Board. The layout is designed to show the various menus they have (sunday lunch, light bites etc) for customers to browse the menu items and discover more information including images, further descriptions and crucially; the allergen information for each dish.
To provide a modern approach to the specials boards and dessert information, we provided two 32″ Samsung Smart Signage Platform Digital Signage displays, one mounted in portrait in the main bar area and the other one mounted in landscape in the restaurant that were housed in wooden framed surrounds. We also supplied two iPads which are handed to customers at their tables to view the days specials and desserts in either portrait or landscape.
All of the content displayed at The Sir Roger Tichborne (specials and allergy information board) is managed by the staff internally by uploading Excel spreadsheets. This solution has improved the operational efficiency of the venue by saving hours of time that used to be spent handwriting, updating and refreshing specials and menu boards everyday.
