JB Kitchen — Restaurant in Charnwood

Sorry it was awful! After Jordan’s Tv appearance I already popped in for breakfast but this time I wanted to try his infamous Tasting menus as a treat. It was £70 for the meal and I left feel very disappointed and left wondering why I even bothered wasting my money. I appreciate Jordan’s work ethic but what I received was not worth my money and I only enjoyed 1 course! The rest was either unseasoned, thrown on the plate or brought from the local supermarket! I paid £70 and what was presented looked like pasta from a tin, no better than the ones you feed your fussy grandchildren in an emergency. My bread was an anemic looking thing which was stone cold and dry and I assume that’s because again it was brought from the shop. I had greasy meat blood running all over my plate and the meat was just too cooked for me to finish. On to dessert… what we got was 1 Miniscule meringue with little bits of some sort of overly sweet sponge and just dollops of sour passion fruit around the plate that didn’t even compliment. The rest of the dessert course was okay but not too much to rave about. I can’t write a review without shouting out to the waiting staff, they were superb and very accommodating despite the food leaving an awful taste. Might be back again for breakfast but I will leave the tasting menu for somewhere else because I don’t agree £70 is a fair price for what was served. Might have been a bad evening and everyone has bad days but you can’t go on tv, charge super premium prices and be serving things...

Was lucky enough to eat at the JB Kitchen pop up restaurant at The Pharmacie Arms in Syston on Saturday evening. The first time I have visited The Parmacie Arms and I was very impressed - a friendly and welcoming micro pub with a range of great ales to choose from. Upstairs the food and service from JB Kitchen was nothing short of perfect. We had the goat's cheese bon bons and pork belly bites for starters and they were both phenomenal - so good we ordered extra to take away! For the main course we ordered the smashed beef and fried chicken tender burgers which were stacked with fresh lettuce and red onion and came with skin on fries and a creamy coleslaw - both burgers and sides were delicious and the choice of burger toppings meant you could individualise the meal for your taste - I opted for the peanut butter and jam, which gave the chicken burgers a satay style taste and did not disappoint. For pudding, the banoffee waffles and Biscoff Brownie were off the chart - sweet, indulgent and the perfect way to finish off one of the best meals I have had in a long time. Thank you to JB Kitchen and The Pharmacie Arms for a wonderful and memorable evening - can't wait to visit...

We have just enjoyed an absolutely amazing dining experience at JB Kitchen. The smell of other diners and our food being cooked was mouth watering. The quality and standard of our dishes (mains and desert) are what you would expect in high-end London eateries. Watching head chef Jordan at work was a real pleasure to behold and the front of house team on point. Every mouthfull of our meal was savoured and enjoyed, with taste to egnight the taste buds to new levels. The pudding just took us back to our childhoods with chocolate, Cherry, and popping candy. The only downside is that I want to go back tomorrow if I could. "So glad He is staying in Leicester for a little while longer so we can enjoy it again."

It's been a absolute pleasure to see JBs Kitchen come through lockdown providing restaurant quality food to your door, to now have a beautiful little restaurant, an amazing team and recognition for Jordans Cooking from Michel Roux Jnr on Britain's Next best chef in Five Star Kitchen. (He should have won this). #BeautifulFood #GoVisitFolks...
