The Lucky Onion owners Jade and Julian Dunkerton are to open a Japanese restaurant at their No.131 boutique hotel in Cheltenham.

Called Yoku, after the Japanese word for doing something well and skilfully, the fine dining omakase restaurant will serve a selection of sushi, sashimi and yakitori as well as larger dishes from head chef Jesse Chung.

It will also have an extensive range of sake and Japanese wine and serve Japanese-inspired cocktails.

The venue will have an open kitchen and an adjacent bar called Bar Tokyo.

The restaurant was inspired by Lucky Onion culinary director Ronnie Bonetti’s career, which has included time at Rockpool by Neil Perry in Australia, The River Cafe, Babington House and Soho House

The Lucky Onion was founded in 2006 by Sam and Georgie Pearman​. It was who sold to fashion designer Jade and her husband Julian, who is co-founder of the fashion label Superdry, in 2017.

Last month it was reported that pub group Young’s was to acquire the majority of The Lucky Onion Group’s properties​, including No 38 The Park, a boutique 13-bedroom hotel set in a Georgian townhouse in Cheltenham; and The Wheatsheaf, a 17th century coaching inn in Northleach, but not the 36-room hotel No.131.
