Eight decades of history

80 Years in Jersey

80 Years in JerseyEight decades. Countless memories. One Island.

In 1946, Jersey Pottery opened its doors, beginning a story that would span generations and become part of island life.

Now, 80 years later, we're celebrating the journey from Jersey Pottery to JP Restaurants as we look back on the people, places and memories that have shaped our story.

EIGHT DECADES IN THE MAKING

From Jersey Pottery to JP Restaurants

Our story began with Jersey Pottery, which grew into a much-loved destination for islanders and visitors alike.

Over the years, hospitality became an increasingly important part of the business, leading to the development of Spinnakers restaurant and, eventually, the collection of restaurants and cafés we operate today.

A true Jersey business

From relaxed beachside dining at Jersey Crab Shack and seafood overlooking St Brelade's Bay at Oyster Box, to our cafés at Jersey Airport and our newest venue, Beresford House in St Helier, our business has continued to evolve.

While our venues and experiences have changed over the decades, our aim remains the same: to bring people together over good food, create welcoming places to spend time, and make memories along the way.
