Instagram-First Strategy, Viral Content & Influencer Marketing Across 24+ London Locations
Most London diners check Instagram before booking a restaurant. Social media isn't just marketing—it's your digital storefront, menu showcase, and word-of-mouth engine. We create scroll-stopping content that converts followers into customers.
Your Instagram feed is the first "menu" potential customers see. If your last post was 3 weeks ago, or your photos look unprofessional, you've lost the booking. London diners scroll through 5-10 venues before deciding. The one with the best Instagram wins.
Consistent posting with professional content can significantly increase weekend bookings. A single viral Reel can bring substantial new revenue from customers who discover your venue online.
We shoot your food, drinks, venue, and vibe. 5-7 Instagram posts/week, 3-5 Stories/day, 2-4 Reels/month. No more iPhone photos in bad lighting—we make your food look Michelin-star worthy.
Short-form video is king. We create viral-ready Reels/TikToks: behind-the-scenes, chef secrets, signature cocktails, time-lapses. A single viral Reel can reach hundreds of thousands of potential customers.
We connect you with London food influencers (10K–500K followers). Complimentary meals → Instagram posts/Stories → thousands of local impressions → new customer discovery. Results vary but the exposure is significant.
We reply to all DMs (within 2 hours), comments, reviews. Many customers DM restaurants with booking questions. Fast responses = more bookings. We handle everything so you can focus on service.
Organic reach is limited (only a fraction of followers see your posts). We run targeted Instagram/Facebook ads with modest budgets to drive local impressions, profile visits, and bookings.
Launch new menus, seasonal specials, events, bottomless brunches with coordinated social campaigns. Countdown posts, influencer previews, user-generated content. Social promotion consistently drives higher event turnout.
Strategies we apply for London hospitality businesses. We'll publish verified case studies with client permission as our Founding Client Programme progresses.

Social media delivers faster results than SEO. You'll see increased engagement (likes/comments) within 1-2 weeks. Follower growth becomes noticeable in 4-8 weeks. Most clients see measurable booking increases within 2-3 months. One viral Reel can change everything overnight (we've seen it happen).
We create everything. Professional & Growth packages include monthly photo shoots at your venue (we bring professional camera, lighting, styling). We shoot your food, drinks, interior, team. You can also send us iPhone photos of daily specials, and we'll edit them professionally.
We reach out to London food influencers (10K-500K followers) on your behalf. You provide a complimentary meal (£40-80 value), they create Instagram posts/Stories/Reels (contractual agreement). Average reach: 10K-100K impressions. ROI: 4-8x on average. We handle all negotiations and contracts.
Yes! We send you a monthly content calendar for approval (usually week 1 of each month). You review all posts, captions, hashtags. We incorporate your feedback. Once approved, we schedule and post. You'll also have access to our scheduling tool to see everything in real-time.
That's common! Many restaurants post sporadically (1-2x/week when they remember). The problem: Instagram's algorithm penalizes inconsistency. We bring professional consistency (5-7x/week), strategy (not random posts), professional content, and growth tactics. You'll see the difference within weeks.
