“Agencies charge you £2,000 to set up a Wix site with a restaurant template. I took that personally.”
James Hattersley · James & The Site

You're paying for a website you don't own.

And you're still sharing a template with thousands of other restaurants.

Built for restaurants, cafés and bars.

Everything your site needs. Nothing it doesn't.

Table booking, built in

A reservation widget on your own page. Guests book in three taps and the confirmation email fires automatically. No per-cover fees to a booking portal.

A menu your staff update

Change dishes, prices and specials from a phone. No developer, no waiting, live in seconds.

Events and RSVPs

Take registrations for supper clubs, tastings and private hire straight into your inbox.

Mobile first, properly

Most restaurant discovery happens on a phone on the pavement. Hand-coded for speed, so Google ranks you and nobody bounces.

Found on Google

Local SEO and Google Business Profile setup, so you turn up when someone nearby searches for dinner.

£0/mo hosting

Most builds deploy on a free tier. No platform fees, no subscription, nothing owed after launch.

Case study · Kasto

Three days to retire a £33-a-month Wix site.

Chef Giuseppe wanted the site to feel like the restaurant: warm, cinematic and easy to keep fresh. He got a booking system his front-of-house team likes, a menu his kitchen updates themselves, and reservations up 400%.

“Our old Wix site was expensive and hard to manage. James delivered something beautiful - professional animations, a booking system, and a simple menu editor.”

Common questions.

Anything not covered here, email me and I'll answer the same day.

A reservation widget sits directly in your site - no third-party portal and no per-cover fees. Guests book from your page, the confirmation email fires automatically, and you manage availability from a simple dashboard. It works on every device.

Yes. Every restaurant build includes a CMS. Your staff update food and drinks, add specials or pull a dish, all from a phone. Changes go live in seconds.

No. Most restaurant builds deploy on a free tier, which is £0 a month. There are no ongoing platform fees. If your traffic ever grows past that threshold I'll tell you, but it's very high for a restaurant.

Three to five days for most restaurant builds, from the point your content is with me. Kasto went live in three.

I migrate off Wix and Squarespace regularly. Your content, URLs and search rankings come across with you, and I keep the old site live until the new one is ready.

Look at kastobali.com. Built in three days, it takes bookings, runs a self-serve menu, and holds its PageSpeed score. If your needs are different, tell me in the form below and I'll be honest about whether I'm the right fit.

Tell me about your restaurant.

No tech-speak, just straight answers. I'll tell you what the site should do, what it costs, and how long it takes.
