Acclaimed Sheffield restaurant Juke & Loe to close after five years

Sheffield restaurant Juke & Loe is to close on 28 May after five years of trading.

Brothers Joseph and Luke Grayson, who run the restaurant, announced they had "no choice" but to walk away from their lease after failing to reach a new agreement with their landlord.

Juke & Loe is recommended in the Michelin Guide Great Britain and Ireland 2022, though it does not hold a star or Bib Gourmand. In January it was praised by The Observer critic Jay Rayner as serving "bold cooking designed to satisfy rather than impress with its own cleverness".

Announcing the closure on Instagram, the brothers said: "Our five-year lease is up and despite negotiations with our landlord we are unable to come to a new agreement that benefits and protects the business and staff, this leaves us with no choice but to walk away.⁠

"It's been a tremendous five years with highs and lows, we have enjoyed great success with recognition from guides, the national press and food critics alike. Of course, none of this would be possible without the support we have received from you, the customer. It's been a fantastic journey and we hope to welcome you all along to our next venture as soon as possible.⁠

"Above all, our thanks and appreciation go out to the staff, past and present. We couldn't have asked or wished for better people to share this journey with. Your hard work and dedication have reminded me why we fell in love with this industry in the first place. "

The team are on the lookout for a new site in the Sheffield area and have asked for anyone able to help to get in touch.
