Long thought to be the building where our entries namesake was held as a prisoner before being hung in Cornmaket, The Jailhouse as it is now known has been frozen in time for the last 70 years nearly forgotten about completely. Restored as part of the Joys Entry project, the aim was to keep as much of the original character of the building as possible. Brick walls, inscribed beams and original windows, take a closer look and see what history and tales you can find while you sip on tipples and nibble on rations. Time Served Well.

    I took my boyfriend here for his Birthday, i was a bit sceptical as it was under a hotel/connected. HOWEVER, it was the most amazing restaurant we have been too, the staff were outstanding and very quick with service. We Pre- Booked but ran a little late and they treated us no differently. The food was just delicious and amazing, we did the 2 course meal and we enjoyed every single moment of the food and staff. The environment was amazing. We didn't catch the names of the staff who helped us, the main manager himself was a star and also the young girl who served our drinks etc, blonde girl. Smile on her face every second of the night when serving. Worth the trip to the resturant and worth keeping the service charge on!

    Food was lovely , decor is nice and majority of the staff are lovely. There was an older man working there who I assume is main Manager , he was quite gruff and just pointed over to our table walked away. Also wouldn’t go if you want to actually speak to the people you’re with , as the DJ blasts the music and is speaking on the mic after every song.

    Food was amazing. The tables are just too close together. 1.5hrs is rushed for a couple out dining. It’s not just about the food, it’s the whole experience! Whilst I like social dining ( benches), I wasn’t planning it on this occasion . The steak was lovely-the food was served hot ( perfect).
