Quick appreciation post for Jack Powell because that comment really got me. 🫶🏼

Jack first worked for me at my Bristol restaurant residency in 2022. By then I’d been cooking professionally for two years but never in a restaurant kitchen, and here I was with keys to my own. Jack’s confidence rubbed off on me and gave me such a lift. He was very skilled and self-assured, without being arrogant, and he cheered me all the way. Most nights the two of us did everything including pastry and dishes because I couldn’t afford a KP at the time. I’ll never forget his dedication and the boost he gave me at that sink or swim point in my career.

I’ve kept a few relics from the time, an old prep list and a handful of tickets. 👉🏼

We only work together very occasionally these days but he’s still building me up, as you can see. Love you mate. 🫡

Highlights from yesterday’s wedding. Canapés and three courses for 25 guests near Bristol. 🫡

Thank you to my team for their hard work, as always. Also a pleasure working alongside The Beer Box Company for the umpteenth time. 🤝

It’s been a while since I checked my Google overview, but it makes me proud. All my clients, new and old, thank you for taking the time to leave me a review. It goes such a long way. 🙏🏼

I’ve honestly lost count of the enquiries I’ve received which start ‘Hi Jon, you come highly recommended by…’ Warms my heart. 🫶🏼

Last month I had the pleasure of joining Robb and Nicola at White Castle Vineyard. Cooking pasta in the sun with those vines as a backdrop and tasting some of the best wine I’ve ever had, made for a wonderful afternoon.

As a chef, nothing excites me more than teaming up with passionate local suppliers, whose produce enhances my cookery. This beautifully crisp Siegerrebe was no exception, helping recreate one of the first dishes I ever wrote a recipe for, over six years ago.

Big thanks to Robb and Nicola for having me. See you again very soon! 👨🏻‍🍳🍷

📣 Abergavenny Food Festival! 📣

Proud to announce that I will be onstage at this year’s Abergavenny Food Festival! I was born and bred in Abergavenny and I’ve been going to the festival since I was in my teens, so this is a full circle moment for me. 👨🏻‍🍳

Catch me at 10am on 19th September in Upper Brewery Yard! The price is included in your ticket. 🎟️

Earlier this week I wrapped up a nine day block booking, cooking lunch and dinner every day for a large family. A totally bespoke menu, I did everything from pizza night to curries, ceviche to barbecues. Good times! 👨🏻‍🍳

That is my personal favourite pizza topping, by the way. Nduja, mascarpone, fennel salami, jalapeños & honey. Takes some beating. 🍕

Full house last night for my Summer Supper Club in Abergavenny! 🤙🏼

Al fresco dining in the garden at The Dugout Cafébar was a huge success. Such a beautiful space. Thanks to the Dugout family for hosting. 🤝

It’s always the biggest compliment and best feeling when people turn out in force to eat my food. Huge thank you to all my regular clients, as well as those I met for the first time. Your support, as always, is very much appreciated. 🙏🏼

Without my amazing front of house team, none of this is possible, so a special thanks to them. They know who they are. 🫶🏼
