Custom Website Design for Pubs and Bars
Most pub decisions happen in seconds. Our web design agency specialises in web design for pubs, ensuring your pub opening times, menus and booking links are front and center. We build pages that actually get bookings by answering basic questions instantly, helping guests book faster and getting more bookings that would otherwise be lost to a quick doubt.
Stop losing walk-ins to missing info. If guests cannot quickly see if you take bookings or peak-time availability, they’ll choose a competitor. We provide all the info they need – including booking rules and group booking rules – to clear up questions before they arrive and support your team during peak service.
Get more private bookings without repetitive admin. By showcasing your private hire facilities, capacity ranges and deposit requirements clearly, we turn vague interests into a simple way to book. You’ll attract better-fit clients and close bookings faster while saving your team’s time.

Responsive Pub Menus, Kitchen Hours & Live Tap Lists
Your pub menus and food and drink menus are the biggest factor of a booking decision. We build every responsive pub website and mobile-friendly pub website to replace outdated PDFs with text-based menus that load instantly and help your gastropub rank for specific dishes in local searches. For craft-led venues, we integrate live draught lists via the Untappd API or cellar management tools, ensuring your online list matches what’s behind the bar automatically without any extra admin from your team.
Stop guests from turning up at the wrong time by making your kitchen times and service rules easy to find. We ensure guests know exactly when food is served by bringing your service hours, Sunday timings and walk-in guidance where they can’t miss them. This smart layout answers the “at-a-glance” questions that turn hungry browsers into confirmed diners, protecting your brand and your sales.
A high-quality website captures your look and feel while providing the must-know info guests need to hit ‘book’. We combine professional visuals with the right story, showing the stuff guests care about like dog policies, accessibility and food hygiene ratings. By answering these points upfront, you’ll receive fewer calls about the basics and enjoy more confident first-time visits from new regulars.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a bespoke pub website design cost?
The price for professional pub website design depends on exactly what you need – like sites for multiple locations or custom booking features. Rather than using off-the-shelf templates, we provide custom builds designed to give you a clear profit by getting more bookings and cutting down on paperwork. Our pricing reflects the quality work and skill needed to build a site that keeps your tables busy all year.
Can you integrate ResDiary, SevenRooms, or OpenTable into our site?
Yes. We work with all the systems you already use like ResDiary, SevenRooms, DesignMyNight, and OpenTable. We make sure your booking button is put in the right spots and works exactly as it should on mobile. This keeps your table layout accurate and makes it easy for guests to book a table. It also cuts out extra paperwork and stops people from not turning up by using automatic reminders and taking deposits safely.
Is the website mobile-friendly for guests searching on the go?
Absolutely. Most pub searches happen on phones while guests are already out looking for a place to go. We build every site for mobile phones first, making sure your call buttons, maps, and booking links are easy to tap and load in an instant, even on patchy signal. We focus on making it fast and simple so hungry customers can find you and book a table in a few taps.
How do we manage daily menus, specials, and kitchen service times?
We provide an easy system for your WordPress pub website that allows your team to update menus and kitchen hours in seconds. For craft beer venues, we can even set up your tap lists to update automatically. This gets rid of outdated PDFs, keeps your website accurate, and lets your bar team focus on serving. You’ll have full control to change specials or new seasonal menus instantly without messing around with computers.
Can the website promote live sports, pub quizzes, and events?
Absolutely. We build event sections and shareable calendars for sports bars and community pubs. Whether it’s the big game, a weekly quiz, or live music, we make sure these events stand out on your homepage and show up at the top of Google to get more people through the door. These simple features make it easy for guests to share your events on social media, helping you reach more locals.
How do you optimise the site for private hire and group bookings?
We turn private hire from a small mention into a real way to get more business. By creating dedicated hire pages that show your space, what’s included, and deposit info, we sort the serious bookings from the “just-asking” crowd. This gives you clear requests that are much easier for your team to turn into bookings. By showing exactly why your venue is the right choice, we help you secure big parties that boost your midweek sales.
Can we sell gift vouchers or experience packages through the site?
Yes. We can link up voucher software like VoucherCart or Giftpro so you can make sales 24/7. Whether it’s a £50 gift card or a “Sunday Roast for Two” deal, we make it simple for guests to buy and automatic for your team. Vouchers are a great way to get money in the till and bring in new customers who haven’t visited before.
Can the site help us build a database for email marketing?
Yes. We add safe and legal join-up boxes that link directly to your email setup, like Mailchimp. This helps you turn one-time visitors into regulars by sending them news on new seasonal menus, Christmas bookings, and events. Owning your own list means you can reach them without relying on Facebook or Instagram.
How do you handle dog-friendly, child-friendly, and accessibility information?
We know these are the make-or-break details for guests. We don’t hide this info; we give it easy-to-find sections. By being open about your dog policy or step-free access, you build trust and make guests feel confident choosing you over a competitor. Giving these details upfront removes any hesitation and ensures everyone knows what to expect when they arrive.
Will the website help our pub rank higher on Google Maps and local search?
es. As expert pub web designers, showing up on Google is a huge part of how we build sites. By tidying up your location data, menus, and hours, we make sure your pub stands out when guests search for the “best gastropub near me.” Showing up at the top keeps you ahead of the competition and brings a steady stream of visitors to your booking page.
How long does the pub website redesign process take?
A typical custom redesign takes between 10 to 12 weeks, depending on how much is involved. We handle everything from website hosting for pubs to the technical setup, so there’s no disruption to your daily service or bookings. We keep you updated at every stage while we handle the heavy lifting needed for a successful launch.
What do we need to provide to start our website redesign?
To get started, we just need your logos and photos, your current menus, and access to your booking platform. If you don’t have professional pub photography yet, we can tell you the best way to capture the vibe of the place. We’ll start with a kickoff chat to make sure your pub’s personality really comes through in the new design.
