Jones said: "I’m really bloody proud of this latest venture. It’s been a long time coming and perhaps it’s age and experience, but I’ve found myself drawn to more varied and comforting dining these past years post pandemic. So while my heart will always belong to Hackney, my head is constantly looking for a logical progression, and all roads lead to South Woodford, as they say?!
"My ultimate goal with the E18 site is to create a sense of home away from home for our guests, but deliver it in true Jones & Sons’ style. It may sound cliché, but there’s something special about seeing people relax into their seats, knowing they’re in for a memorable experience. Whether it’s a romantic date, a casual catch-up with friends, indulging in a Sunday roast with all the trimmings and wine, or letting loose over brunch, I want everyone to feel welcomed and cared for at Jones & Sons, South Woodford."
Overseeing the food offering will be Kieran Hope, head chef at Jones & Sons’ original site (pictured, left).
Signature dishes will include tuna ceviche with strawberry ponzu and sesame; honey miso cod with apple dashi and tempura courgette flowers with goats’ cheese and wild honey.
