Diners pick where to eat on their phone, minutes before they go
People search for a place to eat, then check the menu, the prices, the photos and whether a table is free tonight. A restaurant that only has a social page or a PDF menu makes them work too hard, and they book the place next door instead.
What customers check before choosing
- What is on the menu, and roughly what will it cost?
- Does it look like somewhere I want to spend the evening?
- Is it open today, and can I book a table now?
- Can it host a birthday or a group in a private room?
What this website gives you
- A showcase layout in cream, olive and saffron that feels warm and appetising
- Six numbered menu blocks with starting prices
- A gallery for the room, the food and your events
- "Book now" in the header of every page and a short booking form

Olive & Thyme: questions and answers
How much does a restaurant website cost with Penta Services?
The Olive & Thyme design costs £0 setup and £24 a month as a Ready Site on the Business Website package. Hosting, SSL, business email, updates and support are included. Paying yearly costs 10 times the monthly fee and adds a free .com, .net or .org domain.
Is Olive & Thyme a real restaurant?
No. Olive & Thyme is a fictional sample brand used to show the design. Every name, price, rating and review is replaced with your restaurant's own details before launch.
Can guests book a table online?
Yes. "Book now" sits in the header of every page and the booking page has a short form with name, phone, date and notes, sent to your inbox. If you already use OpenTable, ResDiary or SevenRooms, we can link or embed it instead.
Can we show our full menu, allergens and prices?
Yes. The menu is written as text, not a PDF, so you can list dishes, prices, allergens and dietary labels and update them when the menu changes. We set it up from the menu you send us.
Does the restaurant website template suit a wine bar or café?
Yes. The six blocks can show wines by the glass, small plates, brunch or set menus, and the gallery and booking page work for any venue that takes tables or group bookings.
How long does it take to launch?
Usually 2–4 weeks from when we receive your logo, menu, prices, opening hours and photos.
Is the website built for Google, Maps and AI search?
Yes. The menu is real text with Restaurant and Menu structured data, your Google Business Profile is set up and linked, and AI crawlers are allowed. We don't guarantee rankings or citations, but we report progress every month.
