This is our 2nd visit to Chef Jono’s and we were not disappointed. The value for money for the 5 course tasting menu is brilliant. We were so full we had to take the cheeseboard home! Highlights for me were the Not French Onion Soup and the Figgy Pudding, get that marketed and available to buy for Christmas, bloody gorgeous! The place itself is so cosy with enough space to enjoy your meal without noise from other tables and the waiting staff are so enthusiastic and knowledgeable in their work, really impressed! Now hunting for some Pedro Ximinez to go with my Christmas dinner. We also ended up buying a voucher for a friends Christmas present on the evening we were so happy with the experience. Well done Jono! Keep doing what you do best!
