About Chef Richard JohnsonEast Suffolk
East Suffolk
I love cooking food that brings people together — beautifully made dishes using great seasonal ingredients, served in a relaxed, unpretentious way. Every menu I create is bespoke, shaped around what my clients love to eat and how they want their evening to feel, whether that’s something elegant and refined or generous and comforting. My aim is always the same: outstanding food, great hospitality, and an evening you can truly enjoy.
