Pubs and restaurants don’t need generic websites. They need pages that get bums on seats — bookings that convert, menus that load instantly, and atmosphere that comes through on the small screen a customer’s holding while deciding where to eat in the next 30 minutes.
We’ve designed and built websites for pubs, restaurants, country inns, gastropubs, cafés and hospitality groups across Suffolk and East Anglia for over fifteen years. From historic country pubs in the Stour Valley to refined dining venues in Lavenham and the Bella Pubs group, we know what makes hospitality websites work — and what causes them to lose customers before they ever pick up the phone.
Why pubs & restaurants choose us
Most pub and restaurant websites are built by general-purpose web agencies who’ve never sat in your kitchen at 6:30pm watching a covers list flip from steady to chaos. We have. We understand the difference between a website that looks nice and one that works for a hospitality operator.
- Bookings come first. Every page is structured around the conversion path that matters — getting a diner to reserve a table, book a room, or call the venue. Not buried under five clicks of information architecture.
- Mobile-first, always. 80%+ of pub and restaurant website traffic now comes from mobile. We design for the small screen first, then scale up — not the other way around.
- Menus that don’t require a designer to update. We build menu pages your team can edit themselves — daily specials, seasonal changes, weekend brunch — without needing us every time.
- Local SEO that wins searches. “Pubs near me”, “Sunday roast Bury St Edmunds”, “restaurant Lavenham” — we tune your build to rank for the searches diners actually make.
- Atmosphere over template. Your venue has character. Your website should reflect it — not look like every other gastro-pub site rented from a chain template builder.
- Suffolk-based, not offshore. We’re local. We’ve eaten in many of the venues we work with. We understand the regional market because we live in it.
What’s included
Every pub or restaurant website we build is bespoke — never a template — but most projects share a common core of features tuned to the hospitality sector:
- Online table booking integration — we work with ResDiary, OpenTable, SevenRooms, Tablein, and bespoke booking widgets. Whichever system suits your operation.
- Menu pages that load instantly — sample menus, daily specials, seasonal updates — structured for both diners reading on their phone and Google indexing for search.
- Events listings — live music, themed nights, Sunday lunches, wine pairings, tasting menus — with editor-friendly back-end so your team can add and remove events without a developer.
- Rooms & accommodation — for pubs with rooms, country inns and hotels, integrated room booking and rates display.
- Private hire enquiry forms — weddings, wakes, birthdays, business meetings — with structured forms that capture the details you need first time.
- Photo galleries — properly optimised, fast-loading galleries for interiors, food, gardens and events.
- Google Business Profile alignment — your website, Google listing and review profiles all aligned for local SEO power.
- Mobile-optimised navigation — a single-tap booking button always visible. No buried menus.
- Maintenance & support — ongoing updates, security patches, hosting and content tweaks included with every package.

Frequently asked questions
Our hospitality websites typically start from £29.99/month + a setup fee, depending on the venue’s needs. Pubs with rooms, multi-venue groups, or venues needing complex booking integrations sit higher. We always quote a transparent fixed price upfront. See our website pricing for the full breakdown.
Most hospitality projects take 4–8 weeks from kick-off to launch. Pubs with rooms or multi-venue groups can take longer (8–12 weeks). We work to your seasonal calendar — nobody wants a website project running through Christmas service.
Yes — that’s built in. We deliver every site with editor access so your team can update menus, daily specials, events and photos directly. Most operators are confident in the back-end after a 30-minute training session.
The big ones — ResDiary, OpenTable, SevenRooms, Tablein, ResOS — plus several less common UK booking systems. If you’re currently using something specific, let us know and we’ll confirm compatibility before we start.

Yes — redesigns make up about 60% of our hospitality work. We’ll audit what you have, identify what’s working, and rebuild with the same content but a much-improved design and tech stack. SEO rankings and bookings carry over — we plan migrations carefully.
