Owners of an award-winning restaurant in Lowestoft said they had been "overwhelmed" by the reaction to their reopening.

After two years of closure JOJO's Kitchen & Bar will reopen once more to diners next week.

The family-run, award winning Kitchen & Bar on Lowestoft High Street - which specialises in burgers and southern style cuisine - is reopening next Thursday, July 25.

And just over a week since announcing that the popular restaurant - located on Lowestoft High Street near the Triangle Market - will return, the owners of JOJO's, sisters Kelly and Claire Scoot, said the opening week is already "a full house!"

After two years of closure for dine ins, JOJO's has run a successful delivery service.

But this paper revealed earlier this month that the restaurant will return with a newly revamped menu and a special weekend offer as a grand reopening is held on July 25.

With the JOJO'S team admitting they had been "overwhelmed by the support" after they announced the return to table bookings with next week's reopening, they said that the opening week is now "fully booked."

In a post on its Facebook page, the JOJO'S team said: "Fully booked opening week!

"Thank you for all the well wishes and bookings this week, super excited to say it's a full house!"

JOJO's is now taking bookings "for Thursday, August 1 and onwards!"

Having been a part of the Lowestoft community since first opening its doors in 2018, JOJO's was forced to close its doors in 2022 amid the repercussions of Covid, rising energy costs and a family bereavement.

Now, the restaurant is set to welcome back its loyal customers and new guests once more.

A revamped menu at JOJO's Lowestoft will feature various mouthwatering options, including burgers, tacos, ribs, southern fried chicken, along with a selection of cocktails and craft beer.
