For a kebab or döner shop in London, a full set of professional food photos, digital menu boards and social ads usually comes as one project, priced on how many items you sell and how many screens you run. The return is simple: better pictures on your menu boards and on Just Eat, Deliveroo and Uber Eats mean more orders from people who have never tasted your food.
Below is what drives the price, and a real project we delivered for The House of Döner, a döner shop in London.
What a kebab shop menu and photo package costs
There is no fixed price list, because every shop’s menu is different. These are the things that actually change the quote:
- Number of menu items. Each wrap, sandwich, box, side and sauce is photographed on its own. Ten items is a short shoot; forty is a full day.
- Number of screens. Two TVs above the counter or six across the shop: each screen layout is designed to fit.
- Photos only, or photos plus design. Many owners start with photos for the delivery apps, then add menu boards and ads.
- Social ads and posts. “Order now” ads and launch posts reuse the same photos, so they cost far less when done together.
- Video. A short Reel of the döner being carved sells more than any still.
Send us your menu and we will send a fixed, itemised quote the same day.
A real example: The House of Döner
The House of Döner, a London döner shop, needed one consistent look across everything a customer sees: the screens above the counter, the delivery apps and Instagram. We photographed the full menu in the studio, built a bold red brand style around the logo, and turned it into menu screens and ads.
1. Product photography
Every item shot on its own, lit to show texture: the char on the meat, the crunch of the salad, the drip of the sauce. Each product was delivered on a red branded background and on a clean background for the delivery apps.
2. Digital menu boards
Menu screens designed for the TVs above the counter, grouped the way customers actually order: veal, chicken, falafel, sides and drinks. Big photos, clear names, easy to read from the queue.
3. Social media and “Order Now” ads
The same photos became a set of ads and posts built around the slogan Your Delight, ready for Instagram, Facebook and TikTok.
Why good photos matter more for a takeaway than for anyone else
- People order with their eyes. On a delivery app, your photo sits next to ten other kebab shops. The best-looking box gets the order.
- Menu boards sell the upgrade. A great photo of the large box sells the large box.
- One shoot, every channel. Menu screens, delivery apps, Instagram, flyers and the shop window all use the same images.
- A brand people remember. A consistent colour and style turns a kebab shop into a name.

Frequently asked questions
How much does food photography cost for a kebab shop?
It depends on how many menu items you have and whether you need just photos or photos plus menu screens and ads. Send us your menu and we will send an itemised quote the same day.
Can you design digital menu boards for our TV screens?
Yes. We design menu screens to the exact size of your TVs, using our own photos of your food, and update them when prices or items change.
Will the photos work on Just Eat, Deliveroo and Uber Eats?
Yes. We deliver every product on a clean background as well as in the branded style, so you can upload the right version to each delivery app.
Do you work with kebab shops outside central London?
We work with takeaways and restaurants across London and the Home Counties. If you are within the M25, we can usually shoot at your shop.
