Jerk Chicken
Our six-stage Jamaican Jerk Chicken starts with a secret spice mix and marinade. It’s then flame-grilled the traditional way over coal, basted twice, flung in the oven to cook through, to be returned to the grill to crisp up with one more layer of jerk basting sauce. It’s finished with chicken pan gravy, mango and coriander.£11.50PopularCurry Goat (Spicy)
This Indo-Jamaican, one-pot wonder will knock your socks off! But don’t spill it on your top: the turmeric and madras curry powder stain! Finished with mint-cucumber yoghurt, pomegranate and coriander. It’s all in the long marinade; deeper flavours are reached through the slow cooking of meat on the bone. This is goat on the bone, big bones.£13.10PopularGrilled Lamb Chops
Our specialty! Marinated overnight in ginger, chilli, garlic, cumin, coriander and black pepper, grilled how you like them, finished in a pan with chicken pan gravy, which caramelises the chops creating a sort of cumin bbq sauce. Anyway… we recommend medium-rare.£15.20Pepper Steak Stew With Spinners (Spicy)
Cooked-down spicy steak stew with potatoes, peppers, carrots and spinners (boiled dumplings), flavoured with bay, thyme and paprika. Traditional Jamaican dish.£14.20Ackee and Saltfish (Spicy)
Salted Cod sautéed with ackee, onions, tomatoes, garlic, thyme, black pepper and pimento, finished with dill. The ackee fruit was imported to Jamaica from West Africa in the late 1700s. This is the national dish of Jamaica!£13.50Cauliflower & Chickpea Curry
Curried cauliflower and chickpeas, spinach, okra, peppers and tomato with madras curry, chili, ginger, palm sugar, mustard seed and turmeric then garnished with mango chutney and scotch bonnet and papaya sauce. A dish packed full of spice and flavour.£11.00Curry Chicken
£13.10Curry Veg (V)
Sweet potato, peppers, onion, spinach, carrot, cabbage, tomato, coconut cream and coriander fried in our chilli and ginger spice paste. Finished with coconut milk, dill and lime. Health food to the face!£12.10Jerk Halloumi (V)
Pan-fried, then lashed with jerk pimento sauce: there'll be no dry halloumi here! Accompanied by mango-coriander salsa and scotch bonnet mayo.£11.00FRIED FISH WITH ESCOVITCH
Seasonal Fish on the bone shallow fried in seasoned flour, served with pickled veg, tar tar sauce & grilled lemon.£15.75
