About us

Dear Jay Cookery & Bar is a vibrant new addition to the heart of Streatham—a neighbourhood full of culture, community, and creativity. Our space reflects that same energy: lively, warm, and effortlessly stylish. From the moment you step inside, you’re welcomed into an atmosphere where great music, bold design, and a love for food come together. 

 

But the real magic happens on the plate. Our menu is a celebration of flavour: bold, soulful dishes inspired by global comfort food, elevated with a fresh, contemporary twist.

At Dear Jay, we don’t just serve food. It’s a place to gather, to indulge, and to taste something that stays with you long after the last bite.
