🥚💛 HAPPY WORLD EGG DAY! 💛🥚

We think we’ve cracked it when it comes to our egg supplier… Black Dog Eggs! 🐓

We’re proud to work with a fantastic local supplier who provides the eggs we use across Johns — from our breakfasts and brunches to the dishes coming out of our kitchens.

And when you’re cracking, scrambling, poaching and frying as many eggs as we do, quality really matters!

We love knowing where our eggs come from and supporting a local producer who shares our passion for great food.

So today, we’re raising a fork to the humble egg — simple, versatile and one of the best ingredients around. 🍳

Thank you, Black Dog Eggs, for keeping Johns supplied with cracking eggs! 🥚🐓

🧀 Did you ever see anything so beautiful?! 😍

It's the beginning of British food fortnight and we are starting off strong.
Just look at that gooey, golden Sharpham Brie… we’re not sure we’ve ever wanted to dive into a cheese quite so much! 🤤

Mild and buttery with a deliciously rich, silky texture, it’s made for spreading generously onto crusty bread, loading onto a cheeseboard or simply enjoying straight from the fridge… although we think it’s even better when it’s had a little time to warm up. 🥖🧀

This beauty was captured during a recent photo shoot for our website — and honestly, we just had to share it.

Look at that melt! 😍
YUM!!!
