Minimum monthly term

People usually find a restaurant on Google before they visit. They check the menu, prices, opening times, photos, reviews and booking options. If your website is slow, out of date or missing, they move to the next result. A social media page alone rarely answers everything they need before choosing where to eat.

Your website has to do more than look attractive. It must make table bookings easy, show whether you cater for allergies, explain private hire, promote Sunday lunch and sell gift vouchers. It must also support your Google Business Profile, reviews, local search and paid adverts when you need more covers.

The problem

What is costing Restaurants & Cafés work right now

Your menu is hard to find

Customers should see your menu within seconds. If it is hidden in a PDF, posted only on Facebook or several months out of date, diners may choose another restaurant before they call.

Missed calls lose private bookings

Lunch and dinner service are the worst times to answer enquiries. A missed call about Christmas, private hire or a large table may go straight to a competitor who picks up.

Your hours create wasted journeys

Old opening times, holiday hours or missing kitchen times cause frustration. Customers arrive at the wrong time, leave poor feedback or decide your restaurant is not reliable enough to book.

The result

What changes once it is live

More diners find the right information

Your menu, hours, location, dietary details and booking links sit in one clear place. Customers can make a decision without waiting for someone to answer during service.

Bookings arrive with useful details

Forms ask about dates, guest numbers, event type and requirements. You spend less time chasing basic information and more time confirming bookings that fit your restaurant.

Missed calls become follow-ups

The AI Receptionist captures enquiries while you are busy. You receive the details by text, with urgency sorted, so a promising booking does not disappear overnight.

01

Your website runs the front of house while you work

Your restaurant website becomes the place where customers find the information they need before booking. It can display your current menu, specials, opening times, location, parking details and booking link clearly on every device. Customers can check the basics without calling during your busiest service, when nobody has time to answer.

We build around the way your business actually trades. That may include table booking, takeaway and collection, Sunday lunch, breakfast and brunch, private hire, Christmas bookings or gift vouchers. Each service gets a clear route from interest to action, so customers do not have to hunt through old social posts.

The site also gives your other marketing somewhere useful to send people. Google Business Profile links to it. Printed menus can point to it. Google Ads can send visitors to a booking or takeaway page. Your website stays open after the doors close and keeps handling routine questions while you run the restaurant.

  • Menus, specials and dietary details
  • Table booking and takeaway links
  • Private hire and event enquiries
  • Gift vouchers and Christmas bookings

02

Local search puts your tables in front of nearby diners

Restaurant SEO helps your business show up when people search for places to eat nearby. They may search for Sunday lunch in Gosforth, breakfast in Newcastle, a private dining room in Gateshead or a café open near Whitley Bay. We build useful pages around the services and areas you actually serve.

Your Google Business Profile is central to this work. We help keep your address, phone number, opening hours, menu link, booking link and photos accurate. We also plan regular posts for specials, seasonal menus, events and festive bookings. Accurate information prevents a customer arriving to find old hours or a closed service.

Our restaurant website design supports searches across Newcastle upon Tyne, Gateshead, Sunderland, Durham, North Shields, South Shields, Whitley Bay, Wallsend, Jarrow, Washington, Cramlington and Blyth. We do not pretend every business serves every town. We focus on the places your diners can realistically reach.

  • Google Business Profile support
  • Local pages for real service areas
  • Menu and service content
  • Accurate hours, links and contact details

More detail

More on websites for restaurants & cafés

The rest of what restaurants & cafés ask us, tidied away. Open what you need.

A private hire enquiry needs more than a name and a message box. You need the date, guest numbers, event type, food requirements and likely budget. A good form asks for those details in a simple order, so you can decide quickly whether the booking fits your room and kitchen.

We write forms for real restaurant enquiries. A birthday party, Christmas meal, wedding reception and business lunch need different information. Takeaway customers need a direct ordering route, while people asking about table bookings should reach your booking system without unnecessary steps.

The result is fewer messages that say, "Can you send prices?" You receive enough detail to respond properly and price the work. Every enquiry can be sent to your email, recorded for follow-up and linked to the page or advert that produced it. That gives you a clearer view of what brings revenue.

  • Guest numbers and preferred dates
  • Event type and catering needs
  • Private hire and group booking forms
  • Clear routes to online ordering

When diners compare restaurants, they look for signs that the experience will be worth their money. Reviews, food photographs, a clear menu and evidence of good service all reduce the risk of choosing somewhere unfamiliar. A polished website brings that proof together instead of leaving people to piece it together from different apps.

We can build review prompts into the customer journey after a booking, event or completed order. The message asks for feedback at the right time and points happy customers towards your Google review page. If someone has a problem, the process can invite private feedback first, giving you a chance to respond properly.

Reviews also support your Google Business Profile and local search. Customers can see how you handle praise and complaints. Your website can show selected feedback alongside menus, private hire details and booking buttons. That makes the decision easier for someone comparing you with three other restaurants nearby.

  • Review request planning
  • Google review links
  • Food, room and team photography areas
  • Proof beside booking buttons

Missed calls often arrive when you are seating guests, serving food or closing the kitchen. Our AI Receptionist answers 24/7 in your business name, so callers are not left wondering whether you are open. It takes the job details, sorts urgency and texts the information to you immediately.

It can handle common first questions about bookings, private hire, opening times and the type of enquiry. It does not replace your judgement. It gathers the details you need, then gives you a clear message to act on when you have a moment.

The AI Receptionist costs £169 a month on its own. Website Care plus Receptionist costs £199 a month, saving £29 compared with buying both separately. It is useful for restaurants that regularly miss calls during lunch, dinner, weekends or busy seasonal periods.

  • Answers in your business name
  • Available day and night
  • Captures dates and guest numbers
  • Texts you the enquiry details
  • Sorts urgent calls

Google Ads puts your restaurant in front of people already searching for a place to eat, book a group meal or arrange an event. We can build campaigns around breakfast, Sunday lunch, private hire, Christmas bookings, takeaway or other services you want to fill.

Management costs £449 a month. We manage the campaigns, adjust bids and budgets, test advert wording, remove poor search terms and improve the page people reach. Your advert spend is paid directly to Google. It is never marked up by us.

Call tracking and enquiry tracking show which clicks became real bookings, calls or private hire leads. You can see whether an advert produced a table, an event enquiry or only a casual visit. That helps you decide where to invest, instead of judging adverts by clicks alone.

  • Campaigns by service or season
  • Ad copy testing
  • Search term checks
  • Call and enquiry tracking
  • Ad spend paid direct to Google

A new website should not be left untouched while menus, events and seasons change. Our SEO and Content service costs £249 a month. It includes two optimised pages or articles each month, local search work, Google Business Profile posts, citation building, rank tracking and a monthly report.

Content can support the jobs you want more of. We might create a private hire page before Christmas, promote Sunday lunch, explain your brunch menu or write about dietary options. Each page answers a real customer need and gives Google clearer information about your business.

You can add Automated Social Media for £99 a month. It plans, writes and posts to Facebook and Instagram, with a month of content approved in one sitting. The Intelligent Marketing Coach costs £49 a month and turns your marketing into weekly tasks, so you always know what to do next.

  • SEO and Content, £249 a month

Essentials costs £1,295 and gives you a credible restaurant website that turns visitors into enquiries. It suits a café or restaurant that needs a clear menu, strong contact routes and a better online presence. Complete costs £1,995 and is for businesses losing work because calls are missed. It gives you the website foundation for handling more enquiries.

Growth costs £2,495 and suits a restaurant ready to buy leads through Google. It gives you the stronger base needed for campaigns, landing pages and tracking. Every package includes Website Care at £59 a month. It covers hosting, security, daily backups, software updates, uptime checks, up to 30 minutes of content changes and email support.

Website Care is required for every client because a live restaurant website needs ongoing protection and maintenance. If you want to start without the upfront build cost, the no upfront option costs £199 a month on a 24 month term. There is no setup fee. It includes a template site built for your trade, hosting, care and the AI Receptionist.

The honest comparison

Why do some websites cost £199?

It is a fair question, and it deserves a straight answer rather than a sales pitch.

If you simply need a basic online presence, a low-cost website builder may be enough. Somewhere to point people who already know your name. If that is genuinely all you need, do that and spend the money elsewhere. We would rather tell you that than take a fee for something you will not use.

Our websites are designed for established businesses that want Google traffic to turn into calls, enquiries and customers. Copy, tracking, conversion setup and ongoing management are built in. That is a different product solving a different problem, and it is priced accordingly.

Who writes the words

A £199 builder site

You do, usually at 11pm, into a blank box.

A Look North website

We do. Copywriting for every page is included, written around the jobs you actually want.

Whether it shows up on Google

A £199 builder site

It will rank for your business name. Not much else.

A Look North website

A page for every service and every town you cover, structured so each one can rank.

What happens to an enquiry

A £199 builder site

A contact form emails you. If you miss it, you miss it.

A Look North website

Quote forms written for your trade, instant SMS and email alerts, and every enquiry stored so none are lost.

When the phone rings and you are on a job

A £199 builder site

It goes to voicemail. Most callers hang up and ring the next business.

A Look North website

Our AI receptionist answers 24/7 in your business name, takes the details and texts you straight away.

Knowing what is working

A £199 builder site

A visitor counter, if that.

A Look North website

Call tracking, conversion tracking and call attribution, so you know which clicks became real jobs.

Getting reviews

A £199 builder site

You remember to ask, sometimes.

A Look North website

Review generation set up so a request goes out after every job, with the results shown on your site.

What happens after launch

A £199 builder site

Nothing. It sits there until you cancel the subscription.

A Look North website

The Marketing Coach gives you a plan broken into weekly jobs, so the site keeps earning its keep.

Who owns it

A £199 builder site

The platform. Stop paying and it disappears.

A Look North website

You do. The code, the domain, the hosting account and the content are yours.

Speed on a phone

A £199 builder site

Template bloat, often slow, which costs you rankings and visitors.

A Look North website

Built mobile first, because that is where almost every local search happens.

When something breaks

A £199 builder site

A help centre article and a support queue.

A Look North website

Website Care at £59 a month: monitoring, backups, updates, and a person who answers.

We have a £199 a month option too. It is not the same thing.

If the upfront cost is the blocker rather than the quality, we do a no upfront option at £199 a month on a 24 month term. That is not a builder subscription. It is a real site built for your trade, with hosting, Website Care and the AI receptionist included, live in 5 working days. The difference between that and a £199 builder site is the difference between renting a van and renting a parking space.

£199 a month

24 month term, nothing upfront

Start with no upfront cost

What the difference buys

What you actually get for the difference

Not features. The things that change how much work comes in.

01

Every call answered

A missed call is a customer ringing your competitor. The AI receptionist picks up 24/7, qualifies the job and texts you. Most trades win back more than the cost of the whole website in the first few months.

02

Found for the work you want

One page cannot rank for eight services across twelve towns. We build a page for each, so you show up for the specific job someone is searching for right now.

03

Enquiries you can price

Not "how much for a bathroom?" but property type, scale, access, timing and photos. You quote accurately, first, without a site visit.

04

Proof that compounds

A review request after every job. In a year you have the review count competitors cannot catch up with, and reviews are the last thing a customer checks before calling.

05

Words written for you

Copywriting for every page is included. No blank boxes, no writing your own service descriptions at 11pm, no page that sounds like everyone else.

06

Proof of what paid off

Call tracking and conversion tracking show which clicks turned into jobs. You stop guessing which half of the marketing worked.

07

A plan for after launch

The Marketing Coach turns a strategy into weekly jobs small enough to actually finish. That is why our sites are still growing a year later.

08

You own the lot

Code, domain, hosting, content and your Google Business Profile. Nothing switches off if you leave, because nothing was rented to you.

If a basic presence is all you need, a builder is the sensible choice and we will say so. If you want the phone to ring more often, that is what we build. Get a fixed price.

FAQ

Restaurants & Cafés ask us these most

Price, timescales and ownership, answered for a restaurant.

The Essentials website package costs £1,295, Complete costs £1,995 and Growth costs £2,495. Prices exclude VAT. Essentials suits a restaurant needing a credible presence. Complete is for businesses losing work through missed calls. Growth suits restaurants ready to buy leads through Google. Payment is 50% on signing and 50% at launch. Website Care is £59 a month and required for every client.
The exact timescale depends on your pages, menu content, booking system and feedback. We agree the work and launch plan before starting. You will need to provide items such as menus, opening times, photos, branding and booking links. We can also help organise the content. A focused project moves faster when decisions and materials arrive promptly.
Website Care keeps your site working after launch. It includes hosting, an SSL security certificate, daily backups, security monitoring, software updates, uptime monitoring, up to 30 minutes of content changes each month and email support. It is required because a restaurant website needs regular protection and updates. Without care, an old plugin, missed update or hosting fault can stop bookings and enquiries.
Yes. We can create clear menu pages for breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner, Sunday lunch, takeaway and seasonal specials. We can include prices, descriptions and dietary information supplied by you. Menu changes are covered within your monthly content allowance. We can also build a better route to your ordering system, rather than forcing customers to download an awkward or outdated file.
Yes. We connect the website to the booking system you already use, where possible. The booking button can appear prominently on the home page, menu pages and Google Business Profile link. If you need a different booking process, we can discuss the best route. We will make it clear when customers should book online, call the restaurant or enquire about larger groups.
We can build clear takeaway and collection pages and link customers to the ordering system you use. The page can explain collection times, delivery areas, minimum orders and any important kitchen information. We do not assume every restaurant uses the same ordering provider. During planning, we check your current setup and make the route simple on a mobile phone.
Yes. Private hire needs its own page, not a small mention buried beneath the menu. We can explain room capacity, event types, food choices, licensed premises details, available dates and the next step. A dedicated enquiry form can ask for the date, guest numbers, occasion and requirements. That gives you enough information to respond and price the enquiry properly.
Yes. Seasonal services deserve clear pages and timely promotion. We can create or update pages for Christmas bookings, Sunday lunch, breakfast, brunch, events and other offers. These pages can link directly to your booking system or collect group enquiries. Ongoing SEO and Content can support seasonal searches and Google Business Profile posts when demand starts building.
The AI Receptionist answers calls 24/7 in your business name. It takes details such as the caller's name, date, guest numbers and type of enquiry. It sorts urgency and texts the information to you immediately. It can help with common first questions, but you remain in control of confirming tables, prices and special arrangements. It costs £169 a month, or £199 with Website Care.
No. It is designed to catch calls when your team cannot answer, especially during lunch, dinner, weekends and busy events. It gathers useful information so staff can follow up later. You decide how bookings and unusual requests are confirmed. This is particularly useful for private hire, Christmas enquiries and larger groups, where one missed call can mean losing a valuable booking.
Google Ads Management costs £449 a month. This includes campaign management, bid and budget optimisation, advert copy testing, negative keyword management, landing page optimisation and a monthly reporting call. Your advertising spend is billed separately by Google and goes directly to Google. We never mark it up. We also set up tracking to show which clicks became calls, enquiries or real jobs.
Yes. SEO and Content costs £249 a month. It includes two optimised pages or articles each month, local search work, Google Business Profile posts, citation building, rank tracking and monthly reporting. The work can support searches for your restaurant, menu, Sunday lunch, brunch, private hire or other services. We focus on useful content for real diners, rather than filling pages with vague phrases.
You own the website and the business information used to run it. We build and maintain it for you, with monthly support required under the service terms. We can explain what is included before work starts, including your website address, content and access. If you already have a website address, booking system or Google Business Profile, we work with those wherever practical.
The no upfront option costs £199 a month over a 24 month term, with no setup fee. It includes a template site built for your trade, hosting, Website Care and the AI Receptionist. It is designed for businesses that want to start now without paying the build cost upfront. After the 24 month term, the ongoing arrangement and any added modules can be discussed with you.
Monthly billing starts when the website launches. The standard minimum term is 12 months, followed by monthly billing thereafter. This applies to the required Website Care and any monthly modules you add. The 24 month no upfront option is separate and spreads the website package, hosting, care and AI Receptionist across that term. All prices exclude VAT, and modules can be added later.
