Hospitality Website Design, Menus & Food Photography in Brighton

Design for restaurants, cafes and bars, by someone who spends half his life in them. Websites that fill tables, menus that pull their weight, and photography that makes food impossible to scroll past, for hospitality businesses across Brighton, Sussex and beyond.

Food photography that sells

People eat with their eyes, then their phones, then their mouths. Great food photography pays for itself on every channel you put it on: Menus, delivery platforms, social feeds and your website. I shoot on location in your kitchen and dining room, working fast around service, with an eye trained by years of photographing Brighton’s best plates.

03 Why me

Industry experience that goes beyond design

Here’s the part most designers can’t offer: I am Brighton Food Boy, one of Brighton’s most-followed food accounts, reviewing the city’s restaurants, cafes and bars since 2015. That means I understand your customers because I am one.

I know what makes someone book a table at 9pm on a Tuesday, what makes a dish stop the scroll, and what makes a menu photograph turn into an order. The same insight shapes the restaurant and cafe websites I design: They’re built around the quick phone check that decides dinner, not around how restaurants like to talk about themselves.

Menu design for the hospitality sector

The menu is the hardest-working piece of design you own: Every customer reads it, and it quietly steers what they order. I design menus that are legible in low light, structured to sell the dishes you want to sell, and matched to your brand identity rather than fighting it. Print, QR and delivery formats, all from one set of artwork.

06 Questions

Frequently asked

Can you handle the website, menus and photography as one project?

Yes, and it’s the best way to do it. One brand system flows through everything, the photography is shot with the menu layouts and website in mind, and you deal with one person instead of three suppliers on three timelines.

Do you only work with Brighton restaurants?

Brighton and Sussex are home turf and where I shoot most often, but websites and menu design travel anywhere in the UK, and photography is happily bookable beyond Sussex too.

We're opening soon. When should we get in touch?

Earlier than feels natural, ideally six to eight weeks before opening. That’s enough time to get the brand, menus, photography and website live for launch, when local press and first-week customers are searching for you.

Can you also help beyond hospitality-specific design?

Yes. The hospitality services sit within my wider web design practice, so ecommerce, gift vouchers and anything else web-shaped is covered too.
