Bio

Chef Jonathan is a firm believer that in order to cook well, you first need to know how to eat well. His love for cooking therefore stemmed from his mum being a fantastic cook and always providing one good home-cooked meal every evening. From there, he went on to develop his cheffing career and spent more than fifteen years working in high-end restaurants and hotels across England – including being awarded one Michelin star while heading a restaurant kitchen.

Favourites

Chef Jonathan is more proud of the empty plates he sees than the dishes themselves... but dessert is always an opportunity to show off!

Reviews

  • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ All beautiful & lovely plating. Perfect scallops, great puree, beautiful pickles & beautiful ham. Took me out of our comfort zone so still not sure if together it worked together. | Chocolate is delicious! Ice cream beautiful – unfortunately melting. The little balls were fun but took away from the sophistication of the dessert & plating. It was super creative and realistic and colourful. The trout was well cooked and perfect for my taste! | Nice company, lovely food. Jonathan should relax & be more available to talk about his creations.

  • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I enjoyed it very much. The first one was closer to my taste. Both were really good. | Love it. A good combination of opposing flavours made this dish really tasteful. | I like the bitter chocolate in combination with raspberries. Not sure about ice cream. | I love this concept. Very good plating. Each part of the dish was good. | Very good.

  • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Salmon and avocado is always a win in my book, putting a spin on it are awesome!
    The quinoa sushi was surprisingly nice. It wouldn’t be my go-to option generally however after tonight, I’d reconsider. | The dish is quite refined. I would have preferred the scallops served warmer. Definitely a dish I would reorder. | Great icecream! Choc terrine was slight to thick but otherwise a great dessert! | Without a doubt, I would reorder this dish. The puree was full of flavour and the fish was perfectly cooked | Great concept! Would certainly highly recommend
