The challenge
Jumaira Restaurant serves Kashmiri and Pakistani food on Great North Road in Doncaster. We designed and built their WordPress website, with table bookings, a full menu, an early bird offer and a route to online ordering.
Jumaira Restaurant is a Kashmiri and Pakistani restaurant on Great North Road, Woodlands, Doncaster. We designed and built their website. The brief for a restaurant site is usually short to say and easy to get wrong: show people the food, tell them where you are and when you are open, and make it simple to book a table or order. Everything else on the page should support one of those jobs.
People looking at a restaurant website tend to be on a phone, often deciding where to eat that evening. They want the menu, the opening hours, the address and a way to book, and they want them without hunting. A site that hides the booking form three clicks deep, or shows a menu that will not load on a small screen, sends them back to the search results. For Jumaira Restaurant, the site also had to carry the details that answer the common questions before anyone picks up the phone: halal food, vegetarian options, parking, private dining and how to order for collection.
Booking a table from any page
The main action on the site is booking a table, so it appears everywhere. There is a "Book a table" button in the header, a reservation form on the homepage, a dedicated reservation page, and a "Book your table" prompt above the footer on the inner pages.
The form asks only for what the restaurant needs to confirm a booking: name, email, phone, party size, date and time. Party sizes run from one person up to twenty, with a separate "20 or more" option so larger groups can still enquire. Time slots run in half-hour steps from 5pm to 10:30pm, which matches the opening hours shown in the header, so nobody can request a table when the kitchen is closed.
Opening hours (5pm to 11pm, seven days) and the address sit in the top bar of every page, because those are the two things people check before they book. [RESULT: table bookings made through the website each month]
Showing the food
The homepage introduces the menu with a filterable set of dishes, grouped into Breads and Sides, Kebabs and Grills, and Rice and Biryani. Each dish has a short description, so a first-time visitor gets a sense of the kitchen before they open the full menu: chicken and lamb biryani, lamb chops, paneer tikka, seekh kebab, naan and aloo paratha among them.
The full menu lives on its own page as an embedded PDF that can be read on the page, with a note to pinch to zoom on a phone. For a restaurant, a PDF menu has a practical advantage: the same file the restaurant prints can be uploaded when prices or dishes change, with no rebuild of the page.
Further down the homepage, short sections explain the restaurant in its own words, covering its Kashmiri and Pakistani roots, its ingredients and its approach to dining, and link through to the About and History pages.
Offers and ordering
The homepage carries the restaurant's early bird offer in its own block: a four-course meal, Monday to Thursday from 5pm to 8pm. Quieter weekday evenings are where an offer like this does its work, so it sits high on the page rather than buried in a menu.
For people eating at home, an "Order/Pickup" button appears in the header and on each slide of the homepage banner. It links to a separate online ordering site, so collection orders are handled by a system built for taking orders while the main website stays focused on the restaurant itself. Keeping the two apart also means the ordering system can change without touching the website.
Answering questions before the phone rings
A restaurant gets asked the same questions every day, so the site answers them in writing. The FAQ page covers the type of cuisine, whether the food is halal, vegetarian and vegan options, whether booking is needed, parking, takeaway and delivery, private events, allergies and accepted payment methods.
The Services page sets out what the restaurant offers beyond a standard table: event celebrations, vegetarian and halal choices, customised menu options, private dining rooms, culinary workshops, seasonal specials and alcohol-free mocktails. The Contact page gives the address, email and phone number alongside a message form, built with Contact Form 7.
Written answers like these help customers, and they also help search engines and AI assistants understand what the restaurant offers, which is part of how a local restaurant gets found. That is the thinking behind our SEO and AI search work.
Built on WordPress so the restaurant can run it
We built the site on WordPress with Elementor. That means the restaurant team can update an offer, swap the menu PDF or change the opening hours without asking a developer, while the layout and the booking form stay as designed. The reservation form is built with Elementor's own form tools, and the menu is embedded with EmbedPress.
This is how we approach most WordPress development for hospitality clients: a clear structure around the jobs customers come to do, on a platform the business can manage day to day. If you run a restaurant, see our work for hospitality and restaurants, or get in touch to talk about your own site.
