Mayflower Marina’s Jolly Jacks Bistro and Bar to relaunch under new ownership
Jolly Jacks Bar and Bistro, based at Mayflower Marina, Plymouth, is due to reopen under new ownership next month.
The popular restaurant, which closed in October 2022, is to be run by experienced businessman and restaurateur Jason Bond and his wife Hannah. Mr Bond, who has recently taken on the lease of the waterside eatery, is currently spearheading a reinvigoration of the bistro, which will maintain its ‘Jolly Jacks’ name, ahead of reopening to the public on Sunday 26 February.
Mr Bond has a lifelong passion for good food and already operates two successful restaurants based in Looe, the ‘Little Barn’ and ‘The Coddy Shack’, which chef Nathan Outlaw once described as “The best shed I’ve ever eaten in”.
It’s an exciting time for the marina restaurant as Mr Bond and his team, prepare to open. Hannah Bond says “We’re thrilled to take on this new project. As frequent patrons of Jolly Jacks, we’ve always enjoyed the welcoming atmosphere of the marina and look forward to preserving that sense of community. Our ethos is all about good food, excellent wine, and engaging conversation. We look forward to welcoming customers old and new, and sharing this experience with them.”
Ahead of opening to the public for Sunday Roast on 26 February, the restaurant will host two bespoke pre-launch events on the 24 and 25 February for select guests to enjoy a delicious range of canapes and sample the curated wine list.
From 26 February Jolly Jacks will be open every day between 9am-9pm for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The bistro will continue its long-standing commitment to using fresh local produce and sourcing from sustainable producers. The Bonds and their team have already confirmed West Country based St Austell Brewery and Castang Wines as part of their beverage offer and will be announcing further suppliers, alongside their menus soon.
Charles Bush, managing director of Mayflower Marina, said: “We are delighted to welcome Jolly Jacks’ new proprietors, Jason and Hannah Bond to the marina. Their considerable experience in the restaurant business and evident passion for good food, good wine, and good company, is a mouth-watering proposition for all who frequent the marina and we wish them every success with their new venture.”
