Full service, not a template pack

You run the pub. We run the website.

Most publicans in London and the South-East do not need another DIY builder. They need a custom site that fills tables, promotes what’s on, and ranks for the searches that matter — without becoming a second job.

Custom design around how a pub actually works: menus, table bookings, quizzes, function rooms and Sunday roast.
Website build with book-a-table, tap-to-call and mobile-first layouts for guests searching “pub near me” on the way home.
SEO written for pub searches in London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Essex and the wider South-East.
Full hosting, backups, SSL and upkeep so the site stays fast while you are pulling pints.

Built for pubs

Features that fill tables — not generic brochure filler

Every pub website we design is custom: booking CTAs, menus, events and trust signals so London and South-East guests can choose you in seconds.

Table bookings that convert

Clear “Book a table” paths — not a buried contact form — so Friday-night searches on a phone become covers, not bounces.

Menus guests can actually use

Food, cask, craft and Sunday roast laid out so prices, allergens and specials are obvious before anyone walks through the door.

What’s on, week in week out

Quiz nights, darts, live sessions and seasonal events with dates, times and a way to book a table or the function room.

Function rooms and private hire

Capacity, catering and enquiry forms for wakes, birthdays and office dos — so The Oak Room is not competing with a generic “contact us”.

Local SEO for London & the South-East

Service-area copy, Google Business Profile alignment and on-page SEO for “pub near me”, Sunday roast and function-hire searches in your towns.

Hosting you do not have to think about

SSL, daily backups, updates and uptime monitoring included — the site stays online while you are behind the bar or in the cellar.

How a pub website can look

Custom design examples — not a theme we drop your logo on

Sharp, booking-led layouts — not a template with your pint glass dropped on. Your brand, your rooms, your weekly traditions; designed, built and hosted for London and the South-East.

**Heritage, hearth and a reason to book — on one homepage** A custom pub website that leads with atmosphere, then menus, what’s on and a function room — not a theme with your logo dropped on.

**Events and private hire, not a Facebook dump** Quiz nights, darts and The Oak Room with an enquiry form — so function hire is a journey, not an email address in the footer.

**Menus that look as considered as the kitchen** Classics, craft and cask with prices a guest can scan on a phone before they leave the office.

The same journeys on a phone

**Homepage** Thumb-sized CTAs for View menu and Book a table.

**Events & functions** Weekly traditions and a hire enquiry that is impossible to miss.

**Menu on the sofa** Kitchen, craft and Sunday roast as tap targets.

Questions publicans ask

Website design, build and hosting — answered

Straight answers for pub owners in London and the South-East who want a custom site without taking time off the pumps.

How much does website design for pubs in London cost?

Website design packages start from the Professional Basic build. Pubs across London and the South-East typically choose a custom design with SEO foundations and optional full hosting so they never have to manage the site themselves.

Do you host the pub website as well as design it?

Yes. Design, build and hosting sit together: SSL, backups, updates and uptime monitoring. You stay behind the bar; we keep the site live.

Will the site help me rank for pub searches in the South-East?

Every build includes local SEO foundations: menus and events pages, coverage copy for London and South-East towns, technical setup and Google Business Profile alignment. Ongoing SEO can be added after launch.

Can you add table bookings, menus and function-room enquiries?

Those are standard on pub websites we build — book-a-table, tap-to-call, food and drink menus, weekly events, and enquiry flows for private hire and Sunday roast.
