Demo · A2

A website for a neighbourhood restaurant, built so a stranger can ask for a table.

Five pages, a dark evening ground, a 24-dish menu and one request form.

Someone choosing where to eat on Friday wants three things before they commit: the hours, the menu and the address. Each has its own page, and the request form is one tap from all of them.

Buy this one and the same five pages are drawn for your room, your menu and your street.

Latch Yard is a restaurant we invented so there was something real to design for. Its menu, prices, address and phone number are invented, and its email address belongs to a reserved domain, so nothing sent to it reaches anybody.

Judgement

What this build demonstrates

  • The ground is dark because dinner is

    A cream page describes a lunch room. This one is a near-black ground with cream type, and the brass colour is spent on one button and one lit window. Contrast stays above 8:1 on every line of text.

  • A long menu that holds at 390px

    Each course is a heading and a list, with the price on the same line as the dish so it survives a phone. Twenty-four dishes, no PDF.

  • One job: ask for a table

    The form takes a name, an email, a party, an evening and a time, then shows the request back. It is a demo, so nothing is sent. In a real build the request reaches the restaurant's inbox, and the page links to the reservation system it already pays for. Your covers stay in the tool you already use.

  • Drawn, because there is nothing to photograph

    The gate, the floor plan and the lane are drawings, and the facts they show also sit in text: six counter seats, five tables of two, three of four. Yours would use your own photographs where you have them.

Fit

The kind of business it suits

A place people choose for an evening, and want to see the menu, the hours and the street of before they go.

  • Neighbourhood restaurants and bistros
  • Wine bars with a kitchen
  • Supper clubs with a fixed address
  • Small dining rooms that open a few nights a week

A poor fit if guests must pick a slot and pay a deposit on the site. That is a reservation system, and the page links to one without replacing it. If you change the menu every week and want to edit it yourself, ask us about the Self-managed site.
