For pubs, inns and village locals

Half the people searching for you want one thing: is the kitchen still on.

It is half past two on a Sunday, they are twenty minutes away with a car full of walkers, and they want to know whether there is any point. That is the question. A pub website that answers it in the first screen is worth more than one that wins design awards.

On every pub site we build

The things people are actually checking

Written from one conversation. You will not be maintaining a website between shifts.

Kitchen hours, separate from bar hours

The single most useful piece of information a pub can publish, and the one most often missing entirely.

Sunday lunch

One of the highest-volume searches in the country. Menu, price, sittings, and whether you need to book.

Dogs, children and walkers

Whether muddy boots are welcome decides whole afternoons. Say it plainly and you will get the trade.

What is on

Quiz night, live music, the beer festival, the darts league. The reasons somebody comes on a Tuesday.

Rooms, if you have them

An inn with letting rooms has a completely different business hiding inside it, and it needs its own page.

Function room hire

Wakes, birthdays, christenings. Steady, high-margin bookings that mostly start with a search.

The pub that is doing everything right and nobody can find

There is a particular kind of pub we end up building sites for. The beer is properly kept, the food is better than it needs to be, the landlord knows everyone’s name, and trade is still not what it should be.

Almost always, the same thing is going on. Everything about the pub lives in the heads of the people who already come. The specials board is in the bar. The quiz is announced on a chalkboard by the door. The Sunday menu changes weekly and exists nowhere except a printout. Anybody who does not already drink there has no way in.

Meanwhile a family driving through, a walking group planning next Saturday, a couple looking for somewhere to hold a wake — all of them are searching, and all of them are finding a Facebook page last updated in April and a listing site with your old phone number.

A website does not change the pub. It just stops the pub being a secret.

Getting it done

Between a lunch service and an evening one

Fifteen minutes on the phone

What the pub is, who comes, what you want more of.

We write it

Every page, in the pub's own voice rather than hospitality marketing language.

You read it over

Change anything. We would rather you were fussy now than unhappy later.

Live

And when the Sunday menu changes, you message us and we change it.

Common questions

What landlords ask

We are tied. Does the brewery not do this?

Some do, and if yours provides a good one you may not need us. In practice a lot of brewery-provided pages are a template with your name in it, no control over the content, and they disappear if you move pub. This is yours and the domain is yours.

Our menu changes constantly. Can you keep up?

Then we structure it so the fixed part is the page and the changing part is a short section you can message us about. Some landlords send a photograph of the specials board on a Wednesday and that is the entire process.

Can you link our booking system?

Yes, whatever you use. If you take bookings by phone only, we make the number impossible to miss instead.

We have letting rooms, but only four. Is it worth listing them?

That is plenty to be worth a page. Four rooms filled midweek out of season is a meaningful amount of money, and nobody can book what they cannot find.
