A website for a caterer, street food trader, café or restaurant costs anywhere from about £200 one-off to £10,000 or more. The price depends on who builds it and how you pay. This guide sets out the four routes, the running costs, and what changes the price.
The figures below are ranges from UK providers who publish prices for food and hospitality websites, checked in October 2026. Always confirm the current price with the provider.
A monthly plan and a one-off build can both be the right choice. The useful comparison is the total over the time you expect to keep the site.
Usually £10 to £20 a year, depending on the name and ending. Register it in your own name and turn on auto-renew.
Can be £0. A typical food business site fits within the free plan of hosts such as Netlify. Builders and monthly plans include hosting in their fee.
Email forwarding is often free. A full inbox with Google Workspace is about £6 to £7 per user a month plus VAT. Ongoing edits are either your time or a care plan.
One scrolling page costs less than five separate pages. A trader or small caterer often needs only one.
A private events page with a quote request form takes longer to plan and build than a contact form.
Built-in ordering or table booking adds cost. Linking to a system you already use keeps the build simple.
Having your logo, menu, prices and photos ready keeps the price down and the build quick.
I build fixed-price websites for food and hospitality businesses. Prices are one-off and written down before work starts.
The optional care plan is £15 a month. Read more for street food traders, caterers, cafés and restaurants, or see what each package includes.
For a one-page site with a menu and an enquiry form, fixed-price builds in the UK start at around £200 to £500. Pitch to Private charges £200.
It depends how long you keep the site. A £79 a month plan costs £948 in the first year and the same every year after. A one-off build costs more on day one and then only the domain, usually £10 to £20 a year.
A domain name, usually £10 to £20 a year, and hosting. Hosting for a typical food business site can be free. Business email and a care plan are optional extras.
Not always. Every Pitch to Private site runs on a free Netlify account in the client's name. Website builders and monthly plans include hosting in their fee.
A one-page site takes about 5 working days. A site of up to 5 pages takes about 2 weeks, and a bookings website about 3 weeks.
