Cheltenham as a market
Cheltenham eats on the Promenade and lives by its festivals
Cheltenham's trade runs along a Regency spine. The Promenade and the High Street are the cafés, the chains and the lunchtime offices; Montpellier is the bars and restaurants under the caryatids, the Friday night and the long Saturday lunch; the Suffolks and Bath Road are the independents, the delis and the neighbourhood restaurants; the Brewery Quarter is the cinema crowd and the family dinner; and Pittville, Tivoli and Charlton Kings are the residents' ends with the pubs and the Sunday roast. The festivals set the calendar: racing in March and again from October, jazz in spring, science in June, music in July, literature in October, and each one fills the tables for a week. GCHQ, the college and the schools keep the weeknights steady.
- Gold Cup week, March
- Jazz Festival, spring
- Science Festival, June
- Literature Festival, October
- Christmas lights on the Promenade
- Who eats where
- Cafés and brasseries on the Promenade, the bars and restaurants of Montpellier Walk and Montpellier Street, the independents, delis and restaurants of the Suffolks and Bath Road, the restaurants and bars of the Brewery Quarter, hotel dining rooms along the Evesham and Bath roads, the pubs of Tivoli, Leckhampton and Charlton Kings, and the park cafés of Pittville and Imperial Gardens.
- When
- Gold Cup week in March, when the whole town is booked, the autumn and winter meetings, jazz in spring, science in June, the cricket at the college and the music festival in July, literature in October, Friday nights in Montpellier, Saturday lunch on the Promenade, Sunday in the pubs of Tivoli and Charlton Kings, and the Christmas lights along the Promenade from November.
- Getting there
- Cheltenham Spa station brings the trains from London Paddington, Birmingham, Bristol and Cardiff, and the Promenade is a walk or a short bus from it; buses run from the Promenade to Montpellier, Bath Road, Charlton Kings and the racecourse; the M5 brings the car trade and the festivals' park-and-ride takes the rest.
What a Cheltenham restaurant website has to do
Festival weeks are a season of their own
Gold Cup week, the jazz, the science, the literature: each brings a crowd that has already booked the hotel and now wants the table.
Say which quarter
Montpellier, the Suffolks, Bath Road and the Promenade are a few minutes apart and feel like different towns.
Look as good as the stucco
Cheltenham expects a certain polish, and a site that looks cheaper than the room costs you the booking.
Rank for Cheltenham, by quarter and by festival
Searches name Montpellier, the Suffolks and Bath Road, and in festival weeks they add the festival.
What we do, how we do it, what you get
Built from the kitchen outwards by someone who has run one
EDC's founder spent twenty years running hospitality operations before founding the consultancy in June 2024. A Cheltenham site starts with the menu, the sittings and the margin, and only then with the design that sells them in Montpellier or on the Promenade.
On the floor
- Menu and marginThe menu costed line by line and priced against your margin before it is designed.
- Service flowSittings, turn times and the festival-week plan decided before the booking system is switched on.
- Allergens and specsAn allergen matrix and recipe spec sheets the kitchen works from and the website can quote.
- Team and standardsOpening checklists and service standards written for the people who will run the room on a Saturday.
On the screen
- The websiteMobile first, fast on a phone on the Promenade, a menu Google can read, the table bookable in two taps.
- Local searchThe Google Business Profile corrected to the quarter and the street, listings matched to it, reviews answered.
- BrandA logo, palette, type, menus and signage files that look the same on the door, the table and the phone.
- Email and socialA customer email system and a social plan that say what is on this week, kept current by someone who knows the kitchen.
- A written scopeMapped to a figure on the pricing page before anything is built
- A site you ownOn your own domain, with the files and the logins
- A menu Google can readNot a PDF: dishes, prices and allergens as text
- A profile that matchesThe Google Business Profile corrected to the site, quarter by quarter
- A booking pathThat works on a phone between the station and the door
- One person to callAli, the founder, from the first call to launch and after

Questions people ask
Web design in Cheltenham: the questions people ask
How much does web design cost in Cheltenham?
The same as anywhere EDC works. Website – Starter is £1,650, Website – Pro £2,950, Website – Standard £5,800 and Website – Premium £6,500, one-off figures in pounds. The pricing page lists what each includes. Local SEO is separate, from £850 per month.
Do you design websites for businesses in Cheltenham other than restaurants?
EDC builds for the food and drink trade: restaurants, cafés, bars, pubs, delis, bakeries and tea rooms. A site for a Montpellier restaurant is built by someone who has run one.
Who designs restaurant websites in Cheltenham?
Epicurean Digital Consultants, based in Wimbledon in London and working in Cheltenham by train and by video call, founded in June 2024 by Ali Solak after twenty years running hospitality operations. You deal with Ali directly, not an account manager.
Do you cover Montpellier, the Suffolks, Tivoli and Charlton Kings as well as the Promenade?
Yes. The quarters are the trade, and each page is built around the quarter, the street and the festival calendar rather than the town name.
Do you need to visit the restaurant?
Usually once, and Cheltenham is a little over two hours from London by train. The first thirty-minute call is by phone or video and costs nothing.
How long does a restaurant website take?
It depends on the package and on how fast menus, photography and copy come back from you. The written scope after the first call gives a date.
Where this page's design comes from
Maison Cuir, one of the concept sites in the Web Portfolios
This page shares that demo's idea of material as the thing worth looking at: there leather and gilt, here Regency stucco, wrought iron and a festival programme. It is a concept site with a fictional brand, built to show what a site can feel like; it is not a client and no business on it is real.
A website that knows Montpellier from the Promenade and Gold Cup week from a quiet Tuesday
