Peterborough as a market

Peterborough eats under the west front and drinks on the river

Peterborough's trade runs between the cathedral and the Nene. Cathedral Square, Cowgate and Long Causeway are the fountains, the restaurants and the lunch trade under the three great arches of the west front; the Embankment, Fletton Quays and the river are the theatre, the new quayside, the rowing clubs and the beer festival; Queensgate, Bridge Street and Westgate are the shopping, the chains and the coffee; Lincoln Road, Millfield and New England are the food from everywhere, cooked all day; the Ortons, Hampton and Bretton are the townships with their own parades that eat out at the weekend; and Werrington, Stanground and the Fen edge are the villages out to Whittlesey and Thorney under the great Fen sky. The Posh at London Road on a Saturday, the beer festival on the Embankment in August, the Straw Bear at Whittlesey in January, Ferry Meadows on a summer Sunday and a line that puts King's Cross under an hour away set the calendar.

Who eats where
Restaurants, bars and the lunch trade of Cathedral Square, Cowgate and Long Causeway, the theatre crowd and the new quayside restaurants of the Embankment and Fletton Quays, the chains and the coffee of Queensgate and Bridge Street, the Portuguese, Polish, Lithuanian, Pakistani and Indian kitchens of Lincoln Road and Millfield, the Italian cafés and delis of Fletton and Woodston, the parades of the Ortons, Hampton and Bretton, the village pubs of Werrington, Stanground, Thorney and Whittlesey, the cafés of Ferry Meadows, and the match-day pubs between the station and London Road.
When
Cathedral Square from the first warm day of spring, the Posh at London Road on a Saturday afternoon, the beer festival week on the Embankment in August, the Straw Bear weekend in Whittlesey in January, Ferry Meadows on a hot Sunday, the Christmas market under the west front in December, students from the university quarter through term, Sunday lunch in the Ortons and Werrington, and the quiet weeks in the new year when the city eats with itself.
Getting there
Peterborough station brings the trains from London King's Cross in under an hour and sends them on to Leeds, York, Newcastle and Edinburgh, with lines to Cambridge, Stansted, Lincoln, Leicester, Birmingham and Norwich; the A1(M) brings the north and the south at junction 17, the A47 brings Norfolk and Leicester, the A15 brings Lincoln and the Fen, the parkways carry the city round itself, the Green Wheel brings the cyclists in from the townships, and the Nene Valley Railway brings the families from Wansford to the Embankment.

What a Peterborough restaurant website has to do

Cathedral Square and Lincoln Road are two different cities

The square sells lunch to office workers and visitors under the west front; Lincoln Road sells dinner to a city that came from Lisbon, Gdańsk, Vilnius, Lahore and Naples and cooks like it.

The beer festival is a week, and then it is gone

For a week in August the Embankment fills with people who want somewhere to eat before the tent and after it, and the restaurants a short walk away that have planned for it take the week.

Say the Square, the Quays or Werrington

A search for dinner in Peterborough could mean a table under the cathedral, a new restaurant on Fletton Quays or a pub in Werrington, and they are different evenings and different money.

The townships eat at home unless you give them a reason

The Ortons, Hampton, Bretton and Werrington were built with their own parades, and a family there drives to the city centre only for something the parade cannot do.

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 Peterborough site starts with the menu, the sittings and the margin, and only then with the design that sells them under the west front or on Lincoln Road.

On the floor

  • 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 beer festival Saturday.

Questions people ask

Web design in Peterborough: the questions people ask

How much does web design cost in Peterborough?

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 Peterborough other than restaurants?

EDC builds for the food and drink trade: restaurants, cafés, bars, pubs, tea rooms, bakeries and delis. A site for a restaurant on Cathedral Square or a café in Fletton is built by someone who has run one.

Who designs restaurant websites in Peterborough?

Epicurean Digital Consultants, based in Wimbledon in London and working in Peterborough 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 the Ortons, Hampton and Werrington as well as the city centre?

Yes. The Ortons, Hampton, Bretton, Werrington, Stanground, Fletton, Woodston and the Fen villages out to Whittlesey and Thorney are part of the same trade as Cathedral Square, and the local search work names the street and the township 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 station or the car park; the rest is by video call and email. Peterborough is under an hour from King's Cross, so a visit is a morning, not a day.

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

Keystone Build, one of the concept sites in the Web Portfolios

This page shares that demo's idiom of a structure that assembles itself in front of you: there in drawn line, here course by course in brick. 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.
