Annie Jones

Annie Jones is a Petersfield eatery of some repute, occupying a modest town-centre property with a swish garden terrace at the rear. Inventive modern British dishes emerge from chef/owner Steve Ranson’s tiny kitchen – perhaps molasses-glazed belly of pork with butternut squash purée or chicken liver parfait with truffle dressing & pickled pear. To follow there could be an assemblage of Hyde Farms organic duck with liquorice, plum & celeriac or bouillabaisse loaded with seafood, while crème bruleé with blackberry & apple or a plate of artisan cheeses might round things off. A short wine list & friendly service add to the allure of this charmingly revamped, local favourite.
