About JPRestaurants
JPRestaurants operates restaurants and cafes in Jersey (Channel Islands, British Isles), serving fresh, innovative, and healthy food to thousands of customers and visitors each year.
Our restaurants offer premium-casual dining experiences in unique and captivating settings: Oyster Box, on the edge of St Brelade’s Bay, Beresford House, a grand brasserie in the heart of St Helier, and Jersey Crab Shack, also on the beach of St Brelade’s Bay. Café Ubé, located at Jersey Airport, serves a range of coffees, hot and cold drinks, and fresh and homemade Grab & Go breakfast and lunch items.
We offer fantastic choice for customers with allergies and dietary requirements, and provide our teams with detailed specifications and information for addressing queries. Across all of our restaurants and cafes, we’ve placed an emphasis on digitalisation and processes, in order to enhance our customers’ experience, ensure our service runs smoothly, and build a better working environment for our colleagues.
JPRestaurants has over 75 years of history, starting in 1946 as a small, family-owned pottery studio which become one of the Island's busiest and most popular tourist attractions. The coffee bar on the site of the ceramics factory and showroom was the beginning of Jersey Pottery Restaurants (which is now called JPRestaurants), which is still family-owned and managed by the third generation. As an established and popular local business, we look to work for the benefit of our community and environment through careful management of our suppliers, good working conditions, and initiatives to support others less fortunate than us.
