about us

Our story

After years of dreaming and planning to open our own restaurant, we bit the bullet and in February 2018, JOJO'S kitchen & bar was created. One year later, we were truly humbled & honoured to be shortlisted for best newcomer at the “East Suffolk food & drinks awards” along with our fabulous team we attended the prestigious awards ceremony and were over the moon to win “best newcomer restaurant in Suffolk" The same year we also took home “best new business of the year” at the East Suffolk business awards.

As things were just starting to kick off for us, the restaurant was gaining fantastic reviews with a fully booked restaurant, covid hit and like all other businesses, we all had to close our doors. We picked ourselves up and quickly launched JOJO'S delivery service from the restaurant kitchen. This certainly kept us busy during the lock-downs!!

We quickly expanded due to demand and in 2020, we opened the very first JOJO'S delivery hub in Pakefield, which now serves the whole of Lowestoft & surrounding areas.

Why the name jojo's?

Part 1
JOJO'S restaurant dates back to the 19th century. Looking back through the history of 93 High Street, we came across the first owner of the building - Mr Joseph Flood, a very prominent figure in Lowestoft.
Joseph flood, Printers & Stationers operated from the premises, and we were told was the first person to design the postcard in the UK!

Part 2
In 2004, our beautiful foster sister Joanna Simms sadly lost her battle with cystic fibrosis, aged only 29.
So, in honour of our Jo and respecting the history of our building & Joseph, JOJO'S seemed the perfect name... And well as they say, the rest is history!!

And here we are... "back with a bang” opening our restaurant doors once again. We welcome all our lovely customers, old and new, serving the best burgers, ribs and chicken in town!!
