Why a pub's website has a genuinely different job to a restaurant's
A pub or bar's website answers a different question than a restaurant's. Someone's usually not deciding whether to eat, they're deciding where to go tonight, this weekend, or for a specific event: a quiz night, live music, the football, a beer garden on a rare sunny day. A site that only shows a food menu and opening hours misses the actual reason most people are looking.
Events are the thing most pub websites get wrong by treating them as an afterthought, buried in a Facebook post nobody outside existing followers sees. A simple, regularly updated "what's on" page does more to bring in new custom than almost anything else on the site, because it answers the exact question someone typing "pub quiz near me" is actually asking.
Food still matters, particularly for the growing number of pubs that compete seriously on their kitchen, but it sits alongside drink, atmosphere and event information rather than being the whole story the way it is for a restaurant.
What a pub's site needs to get right
- A simple, current "what's on" page for events and entertainment
- Food menu shown clearly if the kitchen is a real draw
- Opening hours accurate, including any late licence detail
- Beer garden, sports screens or dog-friendly info named if relevant
- Recent, real photography of the actual pub and its atmosphere
- Coverage and location named clearly for "near me" searches
Who We Build For
The Kent pubs and bars we build for
Three shapes of pub and bar business, each drawing people in for a different reason.
Food-led pubs
Kitchens serious enough to be a genuine reason to visit, not just an accompaniment to the drink. The menu needs the same care a restaurant's would get.
Events & entertainment venues
Quiz nights, live music, sports screenings. A simple, regularly updated events page brings in exactly the searches a static "about us" page never will.
Traditional locals & community pubs
Selling on atmosphere, regulars and reliability rather than novelty. The site's job is reassurance that it's still there, still open, and still the same good pub.
What We See
Four problems we keep finding on pub and bar websites
No events page, or one that's badly out of date
"What's on" is one of the most common searches that brings a new customer in the door, and a stale or missing events page misses every one of them.
Food and drink treated as an afterthought
If the kitchen is genuinely good, a buried, low-quality menu undersells it badly compared to a dedicated, well-photographed food section.
Opening hours don't account for late licences or seasonal changes
A summer beer garden or a later Friday licence that isn't reflected on the site sends people elsewhere at exactly the times you most want them in.
Photography that looks corporate rather than like a pub
Overly polished, hotel-brochure-style photography undersells the actual atmosphere that gets people through the door on a Friday night.
How We Help
What we build for pubs and bars
Two services, built around a trade where events and atmosphere sell as hard as the food and drink.
Web Design
A site built around a simple, current events page, a clear food menu where relevant, and honest photography of the actual venue.
From £800SEO
Getting you into the local map results for "pub near me" and event-specific searches across the towns you cover.
From £300What Our Clients Say
Real reviews from real clients
I had an excellent experience working with WebOws Design. They designed my website and it honestly exceeded all of my expectations. From the very beginning, communication was clear, Replies were always incredibly quick, and any changes or requests I had were handled promptly without any hassle. The attention to detail, professionalism, and willingness to make sure everything was exactly how I wanted really stood out. I highly recommend WebOws Design.
I couldn't recommend Owen and the team highly enough. From start to finish, the communication has been exceptional. Whether it was phone calls, messages or meeting face to face, they were always available, approachable and happy to help. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble, and they really listened to my ideas and brought them to life. They made the whole process enjoyable and collaborative. They were patient, responsive. I love the finished website and couldn't be happier, thankyou :)
Owen was on hand throughout the entire build time, no matter the hour. I felt heard and understood throughout the build, and no question felt to silly to ask. Owen explained where they were at with the build throughout the process and I cant wait to get going on the live site!
Can't praise Owen highly enough - he was quick, communicative and solved the problem I was having with my website perfectly. He also taught me how to solve the problem myself in the future! Will definitely use WebOws again.
The level of care Owen has is amazing. He has gone above and beyond. The time and care he's put into my little business has made me feel supported at every step. Couldn't recommend more.
Great communication, very quick to get in touch and respond to all messages. Achieved what we asked him to do quickly and efficiently; will definitely use in the future for any website help we need.
Always receive excellent service from Owen’s business. Really prompt to reply to queries & work is completed quickly & professionally. Would highly recommend!
I needed some changes done to my existing site on a very quick turnaround. I had a phone call and the changes were done while we spoke. Great service and speed!
Fantastic service by Owen and the team, we had used another company before who let us down and the site performed worse than before so we ended up editing and managing the site in house. We came across Owen and team around 6 weeks ago who completely re-designed our site and made it look amazing. Cost wise, very very good. Build time was quick and we are over the moon with the result. Would recommend Owen and the team to anyone looking for a website re-design or build. Outstanding service from start to finish.
WebOws delivered a sharp, high impact redesign of the Social Football Australia website. Speed was a standout from day one: fast turnaround at every stage, changes implemented quickly, no delays, no chasing. Communication was just as strong, led by Owen: clear, direct updates throughout, quick responses to questions, no confusion around timelines or scope. The final result is clean, professional, and built to convert. I would highly recommend Owen & his team.
WebOws Design created a professional and clean booking website for my massage and spa business. The quality of work was excellent, and they understood my vision perfectly. Communication was clear and efficient, and they were always responsive. What impressed me most was the speed, my booking platform was built in just one week. The final result is modern, easy to use, and very client-friendly. Highly recommended.
Owen was great to work with on our recent website redesign. Calm, professional and creative. I would thoroughly recommend his services.
Would offer 6 stars if I could. Owen is so helpful. He understands your business and was fast and accurate in interpreting my giber into what I wanted to achieve. Thank you
Owen was exceptional and incredibly helpful. The issues I was experiencing were resolved quickly. Even at 9pm, he took my call and solved the problem. I really appreciate his dedication and support.

Questions
Questions Kent pubs and bars ask us
Yes. We're based in Gillingham but build across Kent, and the site names the towns you actually cover so Google can match you to searches from each of them.
Yes, we'd build it so you can add or change what's on yourself. A regularly updated events page only works if updating it is genuinely easy.
Only if food's a real part of the business. We'd build the site around what you actually offer rather than forcing a food menu onto a pub that doesn't need one.
Yes, we'd build around whatever booking system you already use rather than replacing it.
We build around what actually brings someone through the door: what's on tonight, not just what's on the menu. A generic agency usually treats a pub site the same as any other hospitality business.
