Mustang Group
Mustang Group is a family-run group of six venues in and around Southampton, established in 1987. Since May 2026 I've looked after their websites: I've rebuilt three of the venue sites, built a new site for the group and photographed the venues, and every Monday the group gets a report on how the Banana Wharf and Ennio's sites are doing.
Group site
The new group site puts all six venues in one place. On a phone they become a deck you swipe through, each with Book, Call and Directions under your thumb, and every booking button goes straight to that venue's own booking page.
It isn't live yet, so the link below goes to the preview.
Venue sites
Most of the group's websites came to me in May 2026 from the agency that built them. I've rebuilt Banana Wharf, Grumpy Monkey and Ennio's so far, and I look after The Grand's while its new site is made.
Photography
I photograph the venues too: Sunday roasts at Banana Wharf, the rooms and the restaurant at Ennio's, Grumpy Monkey's food and interiors, and The Grand's Christmas party.
Hosting and changes
The sites run on Cloudflare, and when a venue needs something changed, it comes to me: new events on The Grand's site, say, or the events and gallery pages Grumpy Monkey added in September.
A report every Monday
Every Monday the group gets a report on how the Banana Wharf and Ennio's sites did the week before.
A private dashboard
The marketing team has its own dashboard for the Banana Wharf, Ennio's and Grumpy Monkey sites, refreshed twice a day, so nobody has to wait for Monday.
Google listings
I look after Banana Wharf's two Google Business Profile listings, the hours and details people see when they search for it.
Since working with Kombu our websites have been performing brilliantly, as well as looking the part. Everything with Ryan is so honest, straight forward and easy. I would recommend Ryan and Kombu to anyone who will listen.
