It’s been a while since we were at Johnnies but glad we called in, we had chowder, mussels and duck wings washed down with creamy pints of the black stuff! Food, pints and service were excellent, thank you Lukas for looking after us ! Will be back again soon !

Had a lovely meal, ordered starter I'd never tasted before and it was too spicy for me I couldn't eat it, I was offered alternatives but I didn't accept mainly because it was my choice of starter there was nothing wrong with it, it was however taken off the bill, was a lovely gesture, thank you
