My boyfriend took me here for a spontaneous date and we were immediately greeted by Hannah (the supervisor) who was soooooo lovely! She managed to seat us in a booth which made things more intimate for us. Our waitress Kimberley was very attentive and nothing at all was an issue for her. She was also very knowledgeable on the menu when we asked for recommendations.

I must admit, I had my doubts which was that it was going to be the usual sort of commercial carribean dishes as I have been to Turtle Bay and Levi Root's Smokehouse but I have to say, I was impressed.

We ordered for starters, Calamari, and the Jerk Chicken Wings which were very scrumptious. For the main, I had the "Proper Jerk" which had 2 leg and thighs with rice and peas, and coleslaw. My partner had the "Pork Belly Ribs" (which I did not think was going to be big in portion size but boy was I wrong) with rice and peas and coleslaw. We also ordered a portion of Sweet Potatoes Fries and for drinks I had a mocktail called the "Hibiscus Flower" and my partner had the "Zombie".

Everything was delicious and Hannah and Kimberley were amazing!

Price was more than Turtle Bay and Levi Roots Smokehouse but it is worth it for the portion you get. I even ended up bringing some for packed lunch the next day!

A group of us visited on a Saturday lunchtime and we were welcomed in and made to feel right at home. We were given some good advice on what to have and the chicken we received was tasty. We had a nice set of cocktails and a nice bottle of prossecco. The chicken bowl was particularly good and the jerk sauce was served on the side which we appreciated. The waitress advised us that we didn't have to get the larger version and she was right as the portion was just perfect.
For the four of us with drinks was just over £100 which was relatively good value considering we ordered prossecco cocktails and wine. We left full and tipsy. Definitely will return another day.

We loved the food, cocktails, ambience as well as the service here. The staff were very attentive and made sure we were very comfortable during our visit. The food was aromatic and bursting with flavour, the music was perfect and the ambience was just right.
Would definitely recommend trying Curry mutton as well as sweet potato fries!
You won't be disappointed !

Wonderful sweet and fruity bespoke cocktail made with pineapple rum.
Caribbean heaven :).
Resturant was fully booked. Food looked great and lots of empty plates seen.
There is a small dance floor but no one really danced as it blocks the walk way.
Staff are friendly and fun but busy.
Toilets are immaculate.
