JB Kitchen

16/06/2026

💛🍻 JB Kitchen may have closed its doors, but little pieces of it will live on forever. 🍻💛

Over the last couple of weeks we’ve been giving our garden a bit of love 🌿☀️, and let’s be honest… who doesn’t want their own bar? 😍🍺

So we’ve given the old JB Kitchen bar a new home 🏡🍻. The very same bar that stood proudly in both JB locations, served thousands of customers 🍽️, witnessed celebrations 🎉, anniversaries 💕, laughs 😂, tears 🥹 and so many unforgettable memories ❤️.

It’s strange seeing it in a garden rather than a restaurant, but every time I pull up a stool 🍺, it’ll remind me of an incredible journey 🚀, amazing customers 🙌, and a chapter of my life I’ll never forget 💛.

JB Kitchen might be gone, but a little bit of its history is still standing strong 💪🍻.

Here’s to the memories 🥂, the friendships 🤝, the good times 😁 and everything that JB Kitchen was ❤️🔥.

❤️ 🍻 🌿 🍽️ 🥂

Pie night might be taking a little summer holiday… 🥧☀️

Anyone who knows me knows I absolutely love proper authentic tapas… big flavours, good vibes, dishes made for sharing and a table full of food.

So from next Wednesday — and every Wednesday after — that’s exactly what we’ll be bringing to the Cheney Arms
Spanish-inspired tapas with a little JB twist 👨‍🍳

Think sunshine food, cold drinks, and plates landing on the table that make everyone instantly jealous.

Sit outside with a drink in the sun or get cosy inside — either way, we’re bringing the flavour 🌞🍷

THREE YEARS AGO … 😳🔥

Netflix decided it was a good idea to let the world watch me stress myself silly on Five Star Chef.

What an absolute rollercoaster that was.

I got pushed way out of my comfort zone, had some moments I’d happily forget, had some moments I’ll never forget, and somehow managed to blag my way all the way to the final! 😂

Cooking for Michel Roux Jr. was genuinely a dream come true. A kid who started out peeling potatoes and burning the odd thing here and there ended up cooking in front of one of the biggest names in the industry… madness.

The experience taught me more than I could ever have imagined. It gave me confidence, pushed me to back myself, and proved that sometimes you’ve just got to take the leap and see what happens.

Since then it’s been non-stop…
✅ Opened restaurants
✅ Closed restaurants
✅ Catered weddings
✅ Won some battles
✅ Lost some battles
✅ Became a dad ❤️
✅ Drank far too much coffee ☕️

And through it all, I’ve kept doing what I love most — cooking.

To everyone who’s supported me over the years, whether you’ve watched the show, eaten my food, booked an event, or simply liked a post… thank you.

Now, who’s up for a Netflix sequel? 👀🍿🔥
