The two things worth reading twice
What you get to keep, and where you can run it
Hospitality content is commissioned once and used for a year, so both of these matter more here than in a product shoot.
B-roll pack
Unedited footage from the visit, handed over for your own team to use. Not a selects reel, the usable material.
- Yours to cut into new posts whenever you like
- Delivered with the finished edits
- Useful for stories, ads and the website
- Yours to keep and reuse indefinitely
Where you can run it
Your own channels, your website and your booking pages, for as long as you trade. This package does not license paid media.
- Your Instagram, TikTok and Facebook
- Your website and booking engine
- Email and in property screens
- No Meta, TikTok or Google advertising
What to put in front of the camera
Film the dishes that sell, not the ones you are proudest of
Almost every restaurant nominates its most technically difficult dish. It is rarely the one that fills tables. The six dishes worth filming are the ones with margin, the ones that film well and the ones a first time guest is deciding between.
- The margin dish, not the trophy dishIf a plate takes twenty minutes and sells four a night, filming it moves nothing. The dish that sells thirty covers are the one worth six seconds of somebody's attention.
- Drinks are underfilmed everywhereA cocktail pour is the single most watchable three seconds in a restaurant and most venues never film one. At least one of the six should be a drink.
- The room is a dish tooAtmosphere sells a booking as much as a plate does, particularly for occasions. One of the six covers the room rather than the food.
- Bring the plates out in one runTwo to three hours works because the kitchen sends everything in sequence. It stops working if dishes arrive across a whole service.

Bespoke
A group, a launch, or something not on this list?
Some hospitality briefs do not fit a package. A group with several properties, an opening with a fixed press date, a wedding or events season, or a property outside the usual travel radius. When that is the shape of it we scope the work rather than pushing you into the nearest package.
Quotes are prepared individually. Send us the property, the dates and what you need it for, and we come back with scope and a fixed figure. Quotes can also be requested at [email protected].
- Multi property groups
- Openings with a fixed press date
- Weddings and events seasons
- Longer stays than three nights
- Properties outside the UK

Questions
Before you book
Why it works
Menu Spotlight in practice
Why two hours is enough for a restaurant and not for a hotel
A restaurant concentrates everything worth filming into one room and one kitchen. A hotel spreads it across a building and a day. That is the whole reason this package costs a fraction of a hotel visit and still returns six usable pieces.
The mistake most venues make with food content
Filming the hardest dish. The kitchen is proud of it, the chef wants it on camera, and it sells four a night. Content should follow margin and volume, not difficulty, and a shoot that ignores that produces beautiful video attached to a dish nobody orders.
Where this leads next
If six pieces a month is roughly your posting rate, the monthly retainer is the same thing on a schedule and works out cheaper per Reel. If you want the chef, the service and the behind the scenes material as well, that is the Content Day.
Not sure this is the right package? Tell us about the property and we will say plainly which one fits, including when the answer is a cheaper one. Everything together on the hospitality packages page.
