Description

Jolene is the sort of place that we'd all love to have at the end of our street. It's a bakery first and foremost, selling wonderful pastries, biscuits and cakes – as well as delicious bread from flour they mill themselves. There's also a daily written blackboard menu of confidently executed sharing plates, with their house-made pasta being something of a feature. The vibe is relaxed and the friendly service team will ensure you're well looked after. Consider a glass from the concise wine list too, which emphasises small producers and natural options.

Review summary

Jolene in Sutton offers Mediterranean and British cuisine, operating as a bakery by day and a restaurant by night. Dishes focus on sharing small plates; while some guests praise the fresh, tasty food and homemade focaccia, others find flavors bland and portions insufficient. Service receives mixed feedback, with complaints about rude staff and unclear menu explanations. The interior features a cozy, rustic industrial vibe suitable for groups, though the outdoor queuing system for ordering is frequently criticized. Reviews are polarized, ranging from high praise for its neighborhood appeal to severe criticism regarding value and experience. It is a popular spot but inconsistent in execution.

Best for

Suitable for social diners willing to queue and share small plates.
