That is Jojo herself creating the fantastic food in the open kitchen! |
You may not realise it, but Whitstable is a foodies heaven!
All you need to do is a little research and you come across some of the most fantastic restaurants that both serve up superb food, great friendly service and all at a reasonable price plus the usually BYOB!?
Whilst we were in Whitstable, it was Holly's birthday. We headed over to the other side of town to Tankerton, where the fantastic JOJO'S is. Jojo's is a superb restaurant that only opens a few days a week and is so good you have to book two weeks in advance! Most evening bookings go in the first 30minutes of them opening reservations, so be warned.
I managed to get the five of us booked in for lunch. Everyone who works at Jojo's are incredibly helpful and friendly. Plus you can bring your own bubbles or wine too!
As it was a special occassion we nipped to the OFFY in Whitstable and picked a bottle of
Prosecco di Valdobbiadene D.O.C Frizzante - N/V which was really tasty.
However unlike most bottles of bubbles you have to use a corkscrew to open it....
As you can see Ben and Elliot were a little concerned!
Excited as ever we all ordered a dish each that was then shared between us all. I'm so sorry but we hoovered up some of the food before I could even take a photo - It really was that tasty!
Here is what we went for:
Lamb Cannon Thinly sliced and seared with jelly (usually mint)
Seasonal Green Leaf Salad With feta cheese and red onions
Haddock / Pollack Goujons Deep-fried in beer batter with tartar mayo
Chargrilled Sardines with Moroccan couscous & puy lentil salad with pomegranate molasses, poppy seed & lemon dressing
