A Professional Chef for over 16 years and a proud Yorkshireman, Jono has spent many years training in some of the UK and the World’s best restaurants including, most notably Michelin Starred, Noma (Denmark), Quay Restaurant (Sydney) and The Box Tree (Ilkley).

Jono is one of the most creative and talented chefs emerging onto the UK Culinary scene, with his appearance on the BBC’s MasterChef: The Professionals 2020 further elevating his profile. Jono impressed judges Monica Galletti and Marcus Wareing as well as critics Grace Dent and Tom Parker-Bowles who revered his inventive style and meticulous execution on his way to the final. 

Michelin-starred Andrew Wong too loved his take on the Chinese classic Dim Sum, securing him a spot in the finals.

“Jono without a doubt is different and there’s a lot of things he’s doing; he’s pushing the boundaries.” - Marcus Wareing
