A family-run restaurant which has only been established on a town's high street for just over a year is in the running for a countywide award.

The team at JOJO's Kitchen and Bar in Lowestoft expressed delight after reaching the final four in the 'Best Newcomer' category of the EAT Suffolk Food and Drink Awards 2019.

The awards, which celebrate the very best of the county's food and drink industry, are held on Monday, April 29 at Milsoms Kesgrave Hall.

Kelly Scoot, owner of JOJO's Kitchen and Bar on the High Street in Lowestoft, said it was 'fabulous news' that they had reached the final four in the Best Newcomer category for the EAT Suffolk Awards.

'We are over the moon and so proud to be going to the finals representing Lowestoft,' she said.

The family-run American inspired Kitchen and Bar caters for all with a diverse food and drinks menu.
