Restaurant Photography
& 3D Virtual Tours

Photography and Matterport walkarounds for UK restaurants, gastropubs and dining venues. The kind of imagery that works everywhere a guest might find you: your website, your menu, Google Maps, Booking, Resy, OpenTable, Deliveroo, and your Instagram grid.

For a deeper look at each format, see the dedicated pages for Matterport 3D scanning, Bespoke 360° tours, and Google Street View, or visit the virtual tours hub.

Why It's Different

The Booking Is Decided Before They Walk Through the Door

Guests choose where they eat with their eyes, on a phone, while doing something else. They're looking at your hero shot on Google Maps, your dish photography on your menu, your interior on Instagram, your reviews on TripAdvisor. Photography is doing the work of inviting them in, telegraphing the price band, signalling whether the food matches their occasion. The combination I shoot is different: architectural interior plus lifestyle plus food in situ, all captured in a single day so the lighting and the look are coherent across the whole set.

The Booking Happens Before They Walk In

Guests choose where they eat with their eyes, on a phone, while doing something else. They're looking at your hero shot on Google Maps, your dish photography on your menu, your interior on Instagram, your reviews on TripAdvisor.

Food in Situ, Not in a Studio

Most restaurant photography is either tired interior shots or studio food photography. The combination I shoot is different: architectural interior plus lifestyle plus food in situ, all captured in a single day so the lighting and the look are coherent.

Photography Signals the Price Band

Your photography is doing the work of inviting guests in, telegraphing the price band, signalling whether the food matches their occasion. It's marketing that works 24/7 across every platform.

Virtual Tours for Private Dining & Events

A 3D walkaround is excellent for private dining enquiries, large group bookings, and corporate event sales. Let bookers see the space without visiting.

UK-Wide Coverage

Based in Somerset but working with restaurants, gastropubs and dining venues across the whole of the UK. Travel is included in every quote, no hidden extras.

Full Commercial Rights

All images fully licensed for your website, Google Business, social media, OTAs (Resy, OpenTable, Deliveroo), menus, brochures, and PR. No expiry, no annual licensing fees.

Who It's For

Restaurants, Gastropubs & Dining Venues

Whether you're a single-site independent or a small group, the same principles apply: better imagery means more covers and more private dining enquiries.

Independent Restaurants

Single site, owner operator. A single shoot covers the entire marketing year: website, Google Business, social, menus, and PR.

Gastropubs & Pubs with Rooms

Mixed interior and food brief. I have a process for the mixed lighting and the evening-vs-day rhythm that these venues demand.

Small Restaurant Groups (2–8 Sites)

Consistent treatment across the portfolio, single point of contact, group pricing. Brand consistency without losing individual character.

Hotel Restaurants & Event Spaces

Photography that doubles for the hotel marketing and the standalone dining room. One shoot, two marketing channels.

Fine Dining & Tasting Menu Venues

Detail-led shooting that matches the price band and the brand. The kind of imagery that belongs on a Michelin listing.

From Matthew

A Note from Matthew

Restaurants and gastropubs are some of my favourite interiors to shoot. The lighting is always interesting (warm tungsten, candles, statement fixtures), the rooms have real character, and the brief is genuinely creative. What I try to deliver is a coherent set: the room, the food, the people, and the exterior all in the same visual language.

Most restaurants book a refresh every two or three years and then bring me back two or three times a year for new menu launches, seasonal campaigns, and refurbed areas. If your current photography is more than a couple of years old or you're launching a new menu, drop me a line.

I shoot every restaurant myself, work nationwide, and turn round in 48 hours.

Virtual Tours

Matterport Virtual Tours for Restaurants

Let potential diners explore your restaurant from anywhere. Excellent for private dining enquiries, large group bookings, and corporate event sales.

Matterport vs Bespoke: Which Is Right for Your Restaurant?

For most single-site restaurants, Matterport is the best choice: it creates a full 3D model that guests can explore. For multi-room venues with private dining suites and event spaces, a bespoke 360° tour gives you more flexibility and no ongoing hosting costs.

Pricing

Bespoke Restaurant Photography Pricing

Every restaurant is different, and the photography needs to reflect that. The scope depends on the size of your venue, whether you need food photography alongside interiors, the number of spaces to cover, and how the images will be used. I quote per project so you get exactly what your restaurant needs.

What affects the price?

  • Size of the venue and number of dining areas
  • Whether food and drink photography is included
  • Drone aerials or twilight exterior shots
  • Matterport virtual tour requirements
  • Location and travel requirements

Get in touch and I'll put together a quote based on your restaurant. No obligation, no hard sell, just a clear price within 24 hours.
