Website design for pubs · London & the South-East
Website design, build and hosting for pubs so you can stay behind the bar — not in WordPress
Custom websites for pubs, taverns and gastropubs across London and the South-East: designed, built, hosted and SEO-tuned for table bookings, menus, events and local search. One team looks after the lot.
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.
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.
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.
The same journeys on a phone
A clear process from brief to launch
Four focused stages keep the project moving — with transparency at every step so you always know what comes next, and can stay on the pumps.
1
Discover & brief
We clarify goals, audience and content so the site plan matches your business — not a generic template.
2
Design & structure
Wireframes and visual design establish hierarchy, brand and user journeys before a single page is built.
3
Build & refine
Clean, responsive development with performance, accessibility and SEO foundations baked in from the start.
4
Launch & support
Go live with confidence — training, handover and optional hosting so your site stays fast and secure.
Website design costs for pubs
Clear packages for design, build and hosting
The same website design packages we publish for every independent business — custom work for pubs in London and the South-East, with optional managed hosting so you never log in to “fix the site”.

Pub website design that targets the towns you actually serve
A pretty site that never names Kent, Surrey or south London will not rank for the regulars on your doorstep. We build coverage into the copy, the events pages and the technical SEO.
- Greater London — inner and outer boroughs
- Kent — Dartford, Sevenoaks, Maidstone and the north Kent coast
- Surrey — Guildford, Woking, Reigate and the M25 towns
- Sussex — Brighton, Crawley, Eastbourne and the coast
- Essex — Romford, Chelmsford, Basildon and Thurrock
- Berkshire, Hampshire and the wider South-East corridor

Website design, build and hosting — answered
Menus, bookings, events and local search — without you having to manage the site from behind the bar.
How much does website design for pubs in London cost?
Website design packages start from the Professional Basic build at £445. 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.
How quickly can a pub website go live?
A design can come back in about 48 hours on the special offer, with the finished site live within seven days — listed on Google and Bing, with Analytics and daily backups. Menus and events can be updated without you learning a CMS from scratch if we host and manage it.
Can the site work on phones for people walking past?
Yes. Pub sites are built mobile-first: opening hours, menus, tap-to-call and directions are obvious on a small screen, because that is how most local searches happen.
