    An excellent night, as always! Thankyou Johnny, Sue and all the amazing staff. I have been a fan since my first holiday abroad in 1995 when we used to listen to Johnny in the square. Thankyou again, see you next year X

    We had a really lovely evening at Johnny Hooper's. The welcoming was very good, the food far better than I imagined, as on the Friday evening an entertainment evening. The music and quiz good. There could be some benefit in attracting a few younger people by adding some more up to date music and quiz questions. The music though good is more attuned to the 40s and 50s era, which is fine, but there is room for music from the later eras. I think this would encourage people to go back later in their holiday. Not a negative review at all just giving room for improvement.

    We had an absolute blast, from the time we arrived we were made to feel very welcome. We brought drinks to the terrace until they were ready to show us to our table, which I have to add was oy about 10 minutes and we were early. We ordered the food I had the Pork Belly with mash green beans and a spicy just which was really really lovely my other half had the chicken wrapped in Parma ham which he said was lovely to., then of course pudding - no complaints there either!! To be honest it was a welcome change to have mash rather than chips! So the entertainment of Johnny and his saxophone began and wow this bloke can play and the variation of music was amazing.he had the crowd joining in straight away what with the music then a pop quiz followed by more saxophone then a disco it all made for a perfect night out. Must it forget the staff who were all very polite attentive and couldnt do enough for you. Thank you for such a fab night, will definitely recommend to others and will be back ourselves in the future.
