Thirty Six

The homepage introduces Thirty Six with its name, food and a short explanation of the restaurant’s new direction. From there, the content describes the downstairs lounge, upstairs dining and the food itself. Those sections give guests a way to understand the venue before following a menu or booking link.

We used the client’s supplied story as the foundation. A separate About page carries the longer account of the change from Twenty Seven, while the homepage keeps the introduction close to the practical next steps. Navy and blue accents sit within the predominantly white layout specified in the brief.

Menus are available from the main navigation and directly within the homepage. The Food, Drinks and Deli choices each have a clear route to their own PDF, allowing visitors to choose the information they need without searching through a combined document.

The website presents these as example menus, with an explanation that dishes and ingredients may change with the seasons and availability. That wording came directly from the restaurant. The PDF menus can be replaced as the restaurant updates them, keeping routine menu changes separate from the page design.

The food photographs were part of the same project. Through Cornerstone Photography, we photographed small plates, larger dishes and desserts, with both broad compositions and closer views. That variety gave the website different options for introducing the food and showing individual dishes.

A group of small plates appears prominently on the homepage, while further photographs support the content and gallery. Read the Thirty Six food photography story or explore Cornerstone Photography’s food photography service for more about that side of the project.

Table reservations have a distinct route through the site. The Book a table buttons lead to the restaurant’s OpenTable booking destination, and the same action appears alongside the food and visit information. Guests can move from learning about the restaurant to the reservation service without using the general enquiry form.

The Contact page makes that distinction explicit. Reservations use the booking link; other questions can go by email or through the enquiry form, with a telephone option for time-sensitive enquiries. These are small content decisions, but they make the intended purpose of each contact route clear.

The Visit & Contact page brings together the address, directions, telephone number and opening hours. Restaurant service and the delicatessen have different hours, so they are listed separately. Those details also appear in the shared footer, making them available from the other main pages.

Links to the wider restaurant collection provide context without obscuring Thirty Six’s own identity. The site also retains the route to Twenty Seven’s private dining offer. Together, the pages explain what Thirty Six is, show the food and give visitors the information they need to plan a visit.
