Project overview

Kodra designed and built a modern hospitality website that gave The Top Pub & Eatery a clearer online presence and a practical customer journey around menus, drinks, bookings, events, functions, and venue features.

Business context

Before the website, customers had limited ways to view the menu, understand the venue, or discover what made it different locally. The digital journey needed to answer key questions quickly: what can I eat, what can I drink, what is on, can I bring the family, can I book, and is this venue suitable for a function or group visit?

Problem

The venue needed a stronger digital identity and a structured online experience because too much of its value was hidden offline. Without a dedicated website, it was harder for customers to discover menus, drinks, events, bookings, family-friendly areas, the garden bar, gaming area, courtesy van service, and function options.

Solution

Kodra shaped the website around real customer decisions before visiting. The site surfaces menus, drinks, bookings, functions, events, and venue features clearly, while preserving the local personality and atmosphere of the pub so visitors can move from interest to action with confidence.

Design direction

The design direction balanced local personality with practical clarity. Food, drink, venue, and booking content were surfaced quickly so the site could support both first-time discovery and repeat customer actions.

UX priorities

• Make menus, bookings, and contact options easy to find
• Help new customers understand the venue before visiting
• Surface local differentiators such as Guinness on tap, garden bar, gaming, children’s play area, events, functions, and courtesy van
• Keep the experience fast and usable on mobile
• Support both casual visits and higher-intent group or function enquiries

SEO foundations

• Dedicated page structure for menu, drinks, bookings, functions, events, and venue information
• Metadata and crawlable content aligned with local hospitality search intent
• Structured data, sitemap, robots directives, and canonical setup for search engines
• Internal links and calls to action helping visitors move from discovery to booking or enquiry

Technical implementation

• Built as a modern responsive Next.js website
• SEO-aware metadata, sitemap support, robots directives, and structured data
• Clear page architecture for venue information, menus, bookings, functions, and events
• Mobile-first components for quick browsing and action

Outcome

The website gave The Top Pub & Eatery a clearer online presence and made it easier for customers to view the menu, understand the venue, and make booking decisions. Client-reported improvements included stronger Google visibility, more people finding the venue through search, and an increase in bookings and enquiries after launch.

• An increase in bookings and reservation-related enquiries from the site
• Events, functions, and “what is on” information is easier to keep in front of guests
• Clearer pathways for food orders and enquiries placed over the phone
• A more credible, always-on digital presence that reflects the physical venue
