Harden's says
In an unexpected location (a Sheffield shipping container), Jöro serves up "hyper-seasonal" fare in a small plates, snacks and tasting menus formula; the modern Scandinavian ("New Nordic") cuisine is even more unexpected. A brave move; we look forward to seeing the survey results.
Harden's survey result
Summary
“Back, better and more creative than ever” – Luke & Stacey Sherwood-French’s unique, moodily lit converted shipping container is “a jewel – overlooked perhaps by some because it is in Sheffield, but now beginning to be recognised by a wider audience” for its ultra-seasonal, “amazing value” five-, eight- and ten-course tasting menus. Stop Press – in June 2021, the owners launched House of Jöro, a Nordic-inspired mini-boutique hotel with a 10-seater chef’s table just moments away from the restaurant.
Summary
“Such a great addition to the Sheffield scene” – Luke French & Stacey Sherwood-French’s “extraordinary conversion of a shipping container” provides some “outstanding” cuisine with its selection of ‘hyper-seasonal’ small plates, available also as part of ten-course (£65) or twelve-course (£75) tasting menus: “the food’s so exciting… the opposite of style over substance”.

Summary
“The best thing to happen in Sheffield in the last 20 years!” – This “exciting”, Nordic-inspired venture “in a (comfortable) shipping container” is “one of those places you go and find yourself talking about a lot… because it’s amazing!”. Service from a “passionate young team” is “thoughtful but relaxed”, and Luke French’s “fantastically innovative, fairly priced tasting menus” of small plates deliver “some very advanced and clever cooking”.
For 31 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).

"Seems to have gone up a level since the last time we went which was about a year ago and we loved it then. Exceptional food and lovely friendly attentive staff with a great play list of music that you wouldn’t normally hear in a fine dining restaurant. "
