New city centre restaurant to open in Hull next month

Jason Ioakeim will open Bond Street Restaurant & Bar in the former Operetta in Hull initially as a take-away and will showcase some of the dishes which he intends to serve once Covid restrictions have cleared.

He said: “We will focus on British food, which is so multicultural that there will be a lot of other influences, especially with the many plant-based options which we will introduce.”

He plans to launch the take-away from mid-February with a team of up to 10 and expects to double that when the restaurant opens.

Mr Ioakeim said: “I am big on keeping things local, buying from local butchers and fruit and veg merchants and supporting the local community.”

Kathryn Shillito, HullBID executive director, said: “We’re delighted to see Jason bringing new ideas to a building which was a favourite destination with diners for so many years and we look forward to working with him as part of the city centre business community.”
