Popular Jolly Jacks bistro to reopen

Jolly Jacks Bar and Bistro based at Plymouth’s Mayflower Marina is due to relaunch under new ownership in February.

The popular restaurant, which closed in October, is to be run by experienced businessman and restaurateur Jason Bond and his wife Hannah. Jason, 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 February 26

Jason 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 Jason and his team, prepare to open. Hannah said: “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 February 26, the restaurant will host two bespoke prelaunch events on February 24 and 25 for select guests to enjoy a delicious range of canapes and sample the curated wine list.

Jolly Jacks will be open every day between 9am and 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.
