In 2005 Jon with his wife Laura opened Vennell's Restaurant. Situated in the beautiful town of Masham, 15 minutes north of Ripon in North Yorkshire. They had a clear philosophy, fresh local produce handled with care and cooked sympathetically.

In 2012 the restaurant had an exquisite makeover by Forge interiors in Bedale.
