"Owners Walker and Kristi Pearce-Percy, who are also husband and wife, are opening the doors to their new restaurant this week. Working alongside Executive Chef Yvonne Khananis, they have been preparing the space and menu for the past year. Banners for the new spot were hung up in the windows one year ago; now, their plan to create a vintage Los Gatos experience is coming to fruition."
"Walking into the space with the new owners, it's immediately clear that the spot has been given a makeover-to the point of being almost unrecognizable. The Pearce-Percys are both Los Gatos natives. Almost a decade back, Kristi was approached about using the space for her architecture firm, Cuschieri Horton Architects. Though that plan fell through, it eventually led to the idea of opening a restaurant with friend Yvonne Khananis, who owns Polenteria just downstairs."
"A remodel began in August 2024, which led to a reimagining of the space along with the development of a completely different menu. For both owners and the chef, family values inspired the restaurant's design as a space to create long-lasting memories. Customers can expect classic pub food from Ireland, England and Scotland-fish and chips, shepherd's pie, bangers and mash, corned beef and cabbage-paired with American classics. In addition to new flooring, an Essex green bar creates an Irish feel."
The La Cañada Building's second story will become Heritage Pub and Chop House, opening this week under owners Walker and Kristi Pearce-Percy with Executive Chef Yvonne Khananis. The space sat vacant for seven years after previously housing Los Gatos Bar & Grill and received a near-total makeover beginning with a remodel in August 2024. Banners were displayed a year ago while owners prepared the menu and interior. The design emphasizes family values and a vintage Los Gatos atmosphere. The menu will feature classic pub dishes from Ireland, England and Scotland alongside American classics and an Essex green bar.
