On the day

Built around your service, not instead of it.

Between services

The Menu Spotlight is scheduled between services, so the kitchen and the room are yours when guests arrive.

The pass, with the chef's say

On the Content Day we film around service, with the chef's agreement on when the pass can be filmed.

What the venue provides

The dishes and drinks we film, and a meal for each creator. On the retainer, two standing slots agreed in advance.

Questions

Asked by restaurants before booking.

Can we run the Reels as adverts?

On the Content Day and the retainer: 12 months of paid media rights on Meta, TikTok and Google. The Menu Spotlight carries organic rights for your own channels, website and booking pages.

What should we put on camera?

The dishes that sell. Four subjects usually means the margin dish, a drink being made, the room, and the one thing a competitor cannot copy.

Where does the venue film go?

Your website, your booking page and your listing, with a cut for YouTube if you want one. The film comes with the Content Day.

How far will you travel?

within 90 minutes of High Wycombe is included. Elsewhere in the UK and Ireland £180; Europe £450 on at least 21 days notice.

Can you post for us as well?

Not in these packages. Hospitality social media management adds posting, replies and reporting.
