One of the ways to achieve this is by adding a custom view to the table view header.

This can be done by overriding viewForHeaderInSection in MenuTableViewController.

Here is how:

Create a custom view using xib file, let's say "TableViewHeader.xib"
Override viewForHeaderInSection in MenuTableViewController.
Get a reference to the xib file and return it in the viewForHeaderInSection function.

In the MenuTableViewController class it should look like this:

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, viewForHeaderInSection section: Int) -> UIView? {

    let tableHeaderView = Bundle.main.loadNibNamed("TableViewHeader", owner: self, options: nil)?.first! as! UIView

    return tableHeaderView
}

You can add a header for the tableview by function func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, viewForHeaderInSection section: Int) -> UIView? {}

You can custom and add anything in this header. Please try and let me know your next issue
