Where do you go to if you have a Mercedes?

Fast forward to around 2.12 if you can’t wait to see the answer… Though we must stress that we welcome all customers, whatever their choice of transport!

JoJo’s featured in Marina O’Loughlin’s 50 favourite UK restaurants
by JoJo's • News, Reviews on October 25, 2015
JoJo’s was featured in The Guardian newspaper’s supplement “My 50 favourite UK restaurants: critic Marina O’laughlin’s choice” published on 24 October 2015. Click here to read it online at theguardian.com, or simply scroll down…
JoJo’s hasn’t missed a beat since moving from a tiny main street restaurant to this handsome seafront building with plenty of alfresco tables. Produce is Kentish – especially the pristine fish – but flavours are Mediterranean: smoky grilled sardines, sharp with lemon and black pepper, excellent salumi and embutidos, mutton and feta koftas, mixed meze. Sadly, it’s no longer BYO (they used to add extra corkage if wine came from Tesco).

Wanted: Good, Honest Cook
by JoJo's • News on January 29, 2015
JoJo’s needs a good honest cook, who’s willing to learn and has great enthusiasm for food.
You need to have had some experience in a busy kitchen and possess a large dose of common sense. The hours are from Wednesday to Sunday, no split shifts, with Sunday night and all Monday and Tuesday off. This is a great opportunity for the right person to work in a successful and busy restaurant and who is willing to learn many new skills as we make almost everything in-house… from prepping fresh fish straight off the boat, to cooking pigs heads and making bread. You will learn it all.
Our kitchen is very busy. The work (and training) will be challenging and our standards are extremely high. However for the right person this is a chance to work in a high-tempo kitchen and to be a part of a successful team.
Got what it takes? And that includes a Rhino thick skin and the ability to work and learn under pressure?
