Nottingham as a market
Nottingham eats in Hockley and drinks in the Lace Market
Nottingham's trade is woven around the Lace Market. The old warehouses of the Lace Market and the streets of Hockley are the independents, the bars, the late kitchens and the city's creative evening; Old Market Square and the streets off it are the chains, the lunch trade, the Christmas market and the Goose Fair crowds in October; Sneinton Market is the avenues of small traders, the Saturday food and the coffee; West Bridgford over Trent Bridge is Central Avenue, the brunch, the family restaurants and the match-day pubs between the City Ground and the cricket; Derby Road and Canning Circus are the neighbourhood bars and the Park's quiet money; and Beeston and the university bring the students and the campus trade. Two football clubs a bridge apart, Test cricket at Trent Bridge, two universities, the tram and a station that puts London under two hours away set the calendar; and under all of it the sandstone caves the city has used for a thousand years.
- Forest at the City Ground
- Test match week, Trent Bridge
- Goose Fair, October
- Saturday at Sneinton Market
- The Christmas market, Old Market Square
- The students back in September
- Who eats where
- Restaurants, cocktail bars and late venues in the Lace Market's warehouses and on Hockley's streets, chains and the lunch trade around Old Market Square, the small traders and coffee shops of Sneinton Market's avenues, brunch rooms, family restaurants and match-day pubs on Central Avenue and around Trent Bridge, neighbourhood bars and restaurants on Derby Road and at Canning Circus, student cafés and bars in Beeston and along the tram line, the hotel dining rooms by the station and the castle, and the cave bars cut into the rock under the city.
- When
- Friday and Saturday nights in the Lace Market and Hockley, Saturday at Sneinton Market, Sunday brunch on Central Avenue, Forest home games at the City Ground and County at Meadow Lane, Test match week at Trent Bridge in the summer, Goose Fair in October, the beer festival at Trent Bridge the same month, the students' terms from September, the Christmas market in Old Market Square, and the winter weeknights when the city eats with itself.
- Getting there
- Nottingham station brings the trains from London St Pancras in under two hours and from Derby, Leicester, Sheffield and Lincoln, the tram runs from the station through the centre to Beeston, the university and the north of the city, the A52 and the A453 bring the car trade from the M1, Trent Bridge carries West Bridgford to the centre, and East Midlands Airport is half an hour away.
What a Nottingham restaurant website has to do
Say the Lace Market or Bridgford
A search for dinner in Nottingham could mean a Hockley bar, a Central Avenue brunch room or a Sneinton counter, and they are different evenings and different money.
Match days and Test weeks are a sitting of their own
A Forest home game, a County game or a Test match fills Trent Bridge's pubs on a timetable that the fixture list publishes months ahead.
Goose Fair week is not a normal week
For five days in October the Forest Recreation Ground and the tram fill with a crowd that eats early, late and on its feet.
Two universities change the week in September
From September the Lace Market, Beeston and the tram line fill with students who find a bar on a phone and book nothing.
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 Nottingham site starts with the menu, the sittings and the margin, and only then with the design that sells them in the Lace Market or on Central Avenue.
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 match-day 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 between the tram stop and the door, 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

Questions people ask
Web design in Nottingham: the questions people ask
How much does web design cost in Nottingham?
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 Nottingham other than restaurants?
EDC builds for the food and drink trade: restaurants, cafés, bars, pubs, cave bars, bakeries and delis. A site for a Lace Market bar or a Sneinton Market counter is built by someone who has run one.
Who designs restaurant websites in Nottingham?
Epicurean Digital Consultants, based in Wimbledon in London and working in Nottingham 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 West Bridgford, Beeston and Sneinton as well as the city centre?
Yes. West Bridgford, Beeston, Sneinton, Sherwood, Mapperley and the villages along the Trent are part of the same trade as the Lace Market, and the local search work names the quarter and the street as well as the city, so the right people find the door.
Do you need to visit the restaurant?
One visit is usual at the start, to see the room, the kitchen and the walk from the tram or the car park; the rest is by video call and email. Nottingham is under two hours from St Pancras, so a visit is a day, not a week.
How long does a restaurant website take?
A Starter site is usually live within a few weeks of the written scope; a Standard or Premium site with menus, booking and local search set-up takes longer. The scope gives the date before anything is built.
Where this page's design comes from
Prism, one of the concept sites in the Web Portfolios
This page shares Prism's idiom of type and pattern as texture: there a word written in particles, here Nottingham lace woven in a shader behind the headline, its medallions morphing from one Lace Market design to the next. 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 the Lace Market from Central Avenue and a Test match week from Goose Fair
