Local coverage
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 an event: a quiz night, live music, the football, a beer garden on a sunny day. A site that only shows a food menu misses the 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 to fix
Pub sites that read like a chain
No events page, or one that's badly out of date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.

Questions
Pub and bar web design questions
Do you build sites for pubs outside Medway, like in Rochester or Canterbury?+
Yes. I'm 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.
Can we update the events page ourselves without needing you every time?+
If you want to, yes: a Wix site bought outright lets you add or change what's on yourself. On a monthly plan you send me the week's events and they are live within 2 working days, so the page stays current without you logging in. Either way, an events page only works if keeping it up to date is genuinely easy.
We're mostly a wet-led local, do we still need a food section?+
Only if food's a real part of the business. I'd build the site around what you actually offer rather than forcing a food menu onto a pub that doesn't need one.
Can the site link to our booking system for the beer garden or function room?+
Yes, I'd build around whatever booking system you already use rather than replacing it.
How is this different from a generic web design agency?+
I 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.
