websites for restaurants and cafes

Someone is searching for somewhere to eat right now. If your restaurant or cafe doesn't show up, they'll go somewhere that does. That's not a theory. That's how people choose where to eat in 2026. A Facebook page isn't enough. A Google listing with no website behind it isn't enough. You need something that loads fast, looks right, and gives people the information they're actually looking for.

I'm Laurence, and I build websites for hospitality businesses. Not template sites from a page builder. Hand-coded, fast, designed for phones first and built to rank on Google. I understand what your customers want to see and how quickly they want to find it.

what your customers are looking for

People searching for a restaurant or cafe want three things: your menu, your opening times, and how to get there. If your website can't answer those questions within five seconds, they'll leave. I build sites that put the important stuff front and centre. No clutter, no slow-loading image carousels, no mystery navigation. Just the information that turns a search into a visit.

Beyond the basics, your site needs to work hard on Google. When someone searches "brunch near me" or "best coffee in Ramsbottom", the restaurants and cafes that show up are the ones with proper websites, consistent business information, and real content. I handle all of that.

handling enquiries when you're busy

Hospitality is hands-on. You can't answer the phone every time someone wants to know if you're open on Mondays or whether you do gluten-free. I build AI chatbots that sit on your website and answer those questions instantly. Not a generic FAQ popup. Something trained on your actual menu, your hours, your specials. It handles the enquiries so you can focus on the people already sitting in front of you. From £199 setup, £20 a month.

what it costs

A hand-coded website starts at £499 one-off. If you'd rather spread the cost, fully managed sites start from £30 a month, which includes hosting, SSL, support and updates whenever your menu or hours change. Nothing upfront on the monthly option.

I also set up business email on your own domain from £8 a month, and run local SEO campaigns to get you ranking in the searches that actually bring people through your door. £199 setup, £20 a month.

If you run a restaurant, cafe or coffee shop and your website isn't pulling its weight, let's fix that.
