What makes you different from a normal marketing agency?

We run a pub. The Anchor in Stanwell Moor is where every tactic gets tested before we recommend it. Generic agencies sell templates. We sell systems that work behind a real bar, with real staff, on a real budget.

Do you work with pubs outside London and the South East?

Yes. Most of our work is remote — WhatsApp, video calls, and shared templates. We prioritise pubs across London, Surrey, Berkshire, and the wider South East for in-person visits, but the systems work anywhere in the UK.

How much does a pub marketing agency cost?

We charge £75 per hour plus VAT. No retainers, no lock-in contracts, no minimum spend. Most pubs start with a few focused hours on their biggest problem and scale up once they see results.

Can you help with social media, events, and menus — or just one thing?

All of it. Social media, event strategy, menu engineering, email marketing, Google Business Profile, and AI-powered automation. We start with whatever will move the needle fastest for your pub.

How quickly will I see results from pub marketing?

Early signals (more enquiries, social engagement, bookings) usually appear within days. Bankable, consistent results — more covers, higher spend, repeat visits — typically build over 30 days as systems bed in.

A Pub Marketing Agency That Actually Runs a Pub

We're not pitching from an office. We built these systems behind the bar at The Anchor — and they work. Now we help other UK pubs do the same.

Why Most Pub Marketing Agencies Miss the Mark

Most marketing agencies treat pubs like any other small business. They sell generic social media packages, monthly retainers, and reports full of impressions that never translate to bums on seats.

The problem? They have never pulled a pint, managed a kitchen GP, or tried to fill a Tuesday night in January. They don't understand that your budget is tight, your time is tighter, and you need results you can see on the till — not in a dashboard.

Orange Jelly is different. Peter Pitcher runs The Anchor in Stanwell Moor. Every strategy we recommend has been tested in a real pub, with real staff, on a real budget. If it doesn't work behind the bar, it doesn't go on this website.

What a Pub Marketing Agency Should Actually Do

Menu Engineering and Margins

Your menu is your biggest profit lever. Small changes to layout, descriptions, and pricing can shift GP by double digits.

✓Menu audit to find hidden margin opportunities
✓Descriptions that sell without discounting
✓Upsell training scripts for your team
✓Pre-order systems to cut waste (we freed up £250/week)

Local SEO and Digital Presence

When someone searches “pub near me,” you need to show up. Google Business Profile is often the fastest win for any pub.

✓Google Business Profile optimisation
✓Review generation and response systems
✓Local directory listings
✓Website content that ranks for local searches
