The best restaurant website in the UK (2026)
By Arslan Munir
Updated 12 Nov 2026. The best website for a restaurant is the one that lets a hungry customer see today's menu, check you are open, and order or book in under a minute, and lets you change a price or an opening time yourself. Prices below are from each provider's own pages, read on 12 November 2026. Chefzi wrote this guide and is one of the seven providers, so we say where it is not the right choice.

The short answer
- If the site only needs to show a menu and take bookings, TableSpark Starter is £19 a month and Growth (bookings, deposits, custom domain) is £39, excluding VAT, billed monthly. Online ordering is on its £69 Full plan.
- If the site must take orders without paying commission, you have a spread of prices: Square for Restaurants has a free plan; Storekit Starter is £0 plus a flat per-order rate; Chefzi starts at £9 a month billed annually (£12 monthly); Aexir Web and My Orders are £30; Flipdish Website starts at £49 billed annually.
- If you want a bespoke design, hire an agency or developer, and add ordering to it with an embed. See what a restaurant website costs.
What the best restaurant website needs
- The menu as text, not a PDF. A phone and Google can both read it, and you can change a price in seconds. A PDF cannot be searched or edited easily.
- Opening hours per service. Kitchen, collection and delivery hours are often different. One line saying "open until 11pm" is wrong half the week.
- Ordering on the site. An order button on every page, with delivery zones, fees and minimums shown before checkout.
- Changes you can make yourself. If every price change is a ticket to a developer, the site becomes your least accurate menu.
- Your own web address. Orders and links that build your name, not a marketplace's.
- Allergen information before the order completes. UK food businesses must make the 14 regulated allergens available. See allergen information for online orders.
- Fast on a phone. Most visitors arrive on mobile from Google or Instagram.
- A fair price once you are busy. Compare what grows with your orders: a flat fee, a per-order fee, or commission.

Where Chefzi is not the right choice
- You need bespoke design. Chefzi builds the site from your menu, logo and photos. It is a platform, not a design agency. See restaurant website design.
- Bookings with deposits are the main job. TableSpark Growth lists reservations with deposits, floor plans and reminders. Chefzi has table reservations on your site without per-cover fees but does not publish a deposit feature.
- You want your own iPhone app. Chefzi offers a branded Android app on Pro now; its customer iOS app is coming soon. Ordering works on every phone in the browser.
- You want a kiosk or courier booking. Chefzi does not offer self-service kiosks or book couriers; delivery uses your own drivers.

What Chefzi gives you
Chefzi builds the restaurant website from your menu, with an order button on every page. You edit text, photos, prices and hours yourself. It runs on your own domain (you buy it from a registrar and connect it), takes collection, delivery and QR table orders, and pays no commission, ever. Plans: Starter £12 a month (£9 billed annually), Plus £22 (£19) and Pro £49 (£39), per location, excluding VAT, with the first month free and no credit card. Card payments and SMS and email marketing are on Plus and above; the branded Android app and browser till are on Pro. See Chefzi's restaurant website builder.
A five-minute test of any restaurant website
- Open it on your phone. Can you find the menu and today's hours without scrolling twice?
- Add a dish with an extra to the basket. Does the total, including delivery, show before you pay?
- Find the allergen information.
- Search the restaurant name on Google. Is the site the first result, above the marketplace listings?
- Ask who owns the domain, and what happens to your menu if you leave.
Ready to try it? Your first month is free, with no card and no contract. Start my free month, WhatsApp us or call 020 3411 8110 and we'll set up your menu with you.

Questions
What is the best website for a restaurant in the UK?
It depends on the job. For a menu and bookings, TableSpark (from £19 a month) is built for that. For a site that takes orders with no commission, Square for Restaurants has a free plan, and Chefzi starts at £9 a month billed annually (£12 monthly), per location, ex VAT. Prices are from each provider's own pages, read 12 November 2026.
How much should a restaurant website cost?
Published monthly prices for sites that take orders range from £0 (Square free plan, Storekit Starter, with per-order or card costs) to £69 a month (Flipdish monthly billing, TableSpark Full). An agency build is a one-off fee plus hosting. Compare which cost grows when you get busier.
Do I need a website if I am on Just Eat or Deliveroo?
A marketplace listing belongs to the marketplace. Your own website is where regulars can order from you directly, and orders placed there pay Chefzi no commission. Orders on the apps still pay those apps' commission.
Can I keep my current website and add ordering?
Yes. Chefzi's embed puts your menu and checkout into a page you already own, or adds an order button that opens the ordering page.
Does Chefzi build bespoke website designs?
No. Chefzi is a platform, not a design agency. The site is built from your menu, logo and photos and you edit it yourself. If you want a bespoke design, hire an agency and add Chefzi ordering with the embed.
Is TableSpark or Chefzi cheaper for a restaurant website with ordering?
On published prices, TableSpark's plan with online ordering is Full at £69 a month ex VAT, and Chefzi's ordering website is £9 a month billed annually (£12 monthly) ex VAT. They do different jobs: TableSpark Growth adds bookings with deposits and a custom domain at £39, so compare the features you need.
