Content for restaurants, bars and venues, filmed around service.
The food, the bar, the room and the people who run it, filmed without getting in the way of a shift.
The best moments happen when nobody can film
Hospitality has more worth filming than almost any business, and less time to do it. The kitchen looks best when it is busiest, and the person who could film it is pouring a pint.
We plan a content day around your hours: food and drink before you open, the team talking about what they make, and a short window of real service once customers are in.
What we would film at a venue
Food and drink, close up
Plates and drinks made for camera, before service, while the light is good.
The team behind it
Chefs, bar staff and owners talking about what they make and why.
The room, empty and full
So people can picture their table before they book it.
Seasonal menus and events
The new menu, the Christmas bookings push, the music night. Filmed ahead so it is ready when you need it.
An example venue day

Plates and drinks, made for camera.

Wrap before the rush.
Reels from our content lead
Amber Cannon films and edits our content days. These are Reels she has made for hospitality, retail, beauty, fitness and lifestyle clients. Tap any of them to watch.
The person who edits these is the person behind the camera on your day.
A good fit if
- You run a restaurant, bar, hotel or venue people come to for the experience
- You have a season, a menu or an event coming up that needs pushing
- Your feed is mostly phone shots taken mid-shift
Probably not for you if
- You cannot spare a quiet hour before opening
What we can show you
Amber has shot and edited Reels for hospitality clients, and some of them are on this page. Glide has not run a content day for a restaurant or bar yet.
Who turns up on the day
The same small team on every content day. You meet us before we film.
Amber Cannon
Shoots and edits
Amber films every content day and edits what comes out of it. She is a UGC creator herself and knows a lot of others, which is where our creator network comes from.
Abbie McDonnell
On set, and a creator
Abbie runs the set: props, the shot list, release forms and the photos. She also makes beauty and skincare content as a UGC creator.
Mike McDonnell
Founder, directs the day
Mike plans the day, runs the interviews and keeps an eye on the clock. He also reads and replies to every enquiry.
Matthew Ludlow
Looks after the monthly work
If you want the footage posted and advertised each month after the day, Matt keeps that moving and keeps you updated.
Content days for everyone else
The same crew and the same day, planned differently for each.
Questions we get asked
No. Most of the day happens before you open. We film a short window of real service at the end and wrap before it gets busy.
We put signs up so people know, keep crowd shots general, and only feature someone up close if they have signed a release.
Yes, by arrangement. Evening shoots are planned and quoted separately because they run at a different pace.
It depends on how long we are there, how many places we film and how much editing you need. You get the figure in writing before you book. The form asks for a rough budget, which lets us tell you straight away whether it works.
We are based in Essex and film across Essex and London most of the time. We go further when the job suits it: our last content day was in Harrogate. Travel outside Essex and London is added to the quote, and you see it before you book.
Tell us what you're working on
Fill in the form and tell us what you're trying to achieve, who you're going after and what you can spend. Mike reads every one and comes back with a straight answer on whether we can help.
