Born of a dream, the first Jimmy’s Killer Prawns opened in June 1991.The old mining house where the first Jimmy’s Killer Prawns was run from had previously been the site of a failed restaurant. When he was offered the site, he and his wife Penny fell in love with it and signed for it without knowing what they would do with it.One night Jimmy had a dream… The dream was about a Sunday lunch that he had enjoyed with a group of his friends, in Lourenco Marques (now Maputo), Mozambique. A group of about 20 friends sat at a long table drinking “Gatao” and “Laurentina” in the garden of the Peri Peri Restaurant. In his dream, Jimmy had an aerial view of the table. When the waiters brought out four huge platters of prawns and placed them in the centre of the table for all to share as if through a camera lens, he zoomed in on a platter of these prawns and woke up. He immediately knew that prawns were the product he needed to focus on in the new restaurant.

    I visited Bill’s for my birthday and had such a wonderful experience, thanks to NICOLA. From the moment we arrived, she was so warm, enthusiastic, and genuinely welcoming it really set the tone for the whole day. She took such great care of us throughout, from helping with drinks to making sure our food was perfect. Nothing felt rushed or overlooked. What really stood out was how she went the extra mile to make my birthday feel special, even bringing out the cake and creating such a lovely moment for me and my family. You can tell Nicola truly cares about giving people a great experience, and it made all the difference. We’re so grateful and hope she knows how amazing she really is!!! Thank you for making my birthday so memorable Nicola x
