Websites for a café, pub or restaurant
The menu that loads before they change their mind.
We build websites for cafés, pubs and restaurants in Bude, North Cornwall and North Devon: the menu in the page rather than in a PDF, today's hours, and a button that books a table or takes an order at the table. A website starts at £1,195, or we build it free from £25 a month.
From £25 a month, or from £1,195Every price
“The family that's just parked up is stood on Belle Vue in the rain looking at three menus on a phone. Yours is a PDF.”
Menu, hours and a book-a-table button that all work on a phone in the rain, so they pick you.
Your week, from Whitsun to February.
The words below are the ones you use. We write the site in them rather than translating them into something a stranger would say.
Your year has two halves. From Whitsun to the end of October you are turning covers, the specials board is rewritten before eight, and a good share of the walk-ins are people who parked on Belle Vue ten minutes ago and are deciding between you and two others. Half term is its own weather. Then the summer trade goes home.
From November the same room has a different job. You are open for the locals, the dog walkers coming off the canal path, and whoever fancies a Sunday roast in a gale. The bookings that matter are the Christmas parties and the table for eight on a Saturday, and they get made at half past ten at night from a sofa.
The website has to do both. In August it settles an argument in a car park: are you open, do you do a roast, can four of us and a dog get a table at one. In February it is the reason somebody comes out at all. Neither of those is a brochure. Both of them are a menu that loads on one bar of signal, hours that are right, and one thing to tap.

Not a feature list. These are the things a customer of yours is trying to do, and where each one has to sit before they give up and ring somebody else.
| What it needs | Why, for you | Where it goes |
|---|---|---|
| The menu, as part of the page | A PDF has to be downloaded, then pinched and dragged. The family comparing three menus in the rain picks the one they can read. | Its own web address, with the prices that are on the board |
| Today's hours | Wrong hours on a bank holiday is a wasted drive, and the review that follows is about the drive, not the food. | First screen, and identical on your Google Business Profile |
| Book a table | Walk-ins are most of the trade, but the party of eight wants to book late at night without ringing. | A button in the first screen, wired to the booking system you already pay for |
| Order at table, or takeaway | Fewer trips to the bar, faster turnaround on covers, and it is the same phone they read the menu on. | Its own page, on the card system you already use |
| Sunday roast, dog-friendly, the specials | These are searches people type, not features on a list. Each one is a question with an answer. | A short page each, linked from the menu |
| Photographs of the food, taken this year | Photographs from the last kitchen sell the last kitchen, not the plates you send out now. | The menu page, and the Google profile where most people see you first |
What we’d do first.
Before a rebuild, before a rebrand, before anything with a monthly fee attached to it. In this order, for a café, pub or restaurant.
Put the menu in the page, not in a PDF, so it loads on one bar of signal at Crooklets and the prices are the ones on the board.
Hours, the phone number and 'Book a table' in the first screen, and the same hours on Google so nobody turns up on a Tuesday to a locked door.
A Google Business Profile with this week's photos and a reply to every review, because that is the page most people see first.
And what we wouldn’t bother with
A photo gallery of the building
Nobody books a table because of a picture of the front door. Put that money into photographs of six dishes and this week's specials board instead.
The words your customers actually type.
Not keywords. Half-sentences, typed with one thumb, usually within a few miles of you and usually about to spend money.

Every one of those is either a page on your site or a line on your Google Business Profile, and usually both. Local SEO and the Google profile is priced on its own, set up once and kept right through the season.

What that takes, and what it costs.
Every one of these has a published price. Where it’s a range, a short call turns it into one fixed figure in writing before any work begins.

Most of what we can show you so far is holiday parks, glamping and holiday home sales, built by the same two people under our holiday-park name. The thinking is the same and the figures on each study are lab measurements, stated in full. See the work.
Care plans, marketing and the smaller extras are all on the pricing page. When you know what you need, start your project.
The questions we get, answered straight.
Can you put our menu online without using a PDF?
Yes, and it is the first thing we would change. The menu becomes part of the page, so it opens in one tap, reads at arm's length on a phone, and Google can see every dish on it. You edit prices yourself, or send them over and we do it under the care plan.
Can people book a table from the site?
Yes. We wire in the booking system you already pay for rather than selling you a new one, and we put the button in the first screen instead of at the bottom of a page nobody scrolls. If you do not take bookings, we make the phone number the button instead.
What does a website for a café or pub cost?
A Fast-Track Website, from £1,195, covers the menu, hours, the booking button and the pages people search for. Online ordering or a shop is a bigger build: a Bespoke Website, from £2,495. Google Business Profile setup is £90, and ongoing local search is part of our Marketing Presence plan, from £345 a month. Or we build it free from £25 a month on a pay-monthly plan. Every price is on our pricing page, and a range is fixed in writing before we start.
The specials change every week. Who keeps it up to date?
You can, and we show you how: specials, prices, hours, a sold-out note. If you would rather not touch it during service, send the change over on WhatsApp and it is done under a Grow or Lead care plan, from £120 a month.

Built in Bude: The Bank at Bude, The Triangle, Bar Thirty Five. See all the work
We look at it the way one of your customers would: on a phone, in a hurry, on a Bude signal. Then you get an email from Leonard or Rebecca with the one thing to fix first and roughly what it would cost.
The check costs nothing and there is no sales call after it.
