Mains
Sides NOT included on the main dishes, please add on sides or small plates to create the perfect meal!
- Jerk Chicken Highly rated· 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.£13.50
- Curry 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.£15.50
- Grilled 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.£21.00
- Jerk 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.£13.50
- Coconut Curry 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!£13.50
- *ALLOW 25 MINS TO COOK** Fried Sea Bream With Escovitch & Tartar Sauce Currently sold out£20.50
- Pepper 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.£16.00
- Curry Chicken Onion, potatoes, green pepper, turmeric, madras curry, thyme, bay leaves, chilli, ginger and garlic.£15.00
- Ackee 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!£15.00
- Cauliflower & 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.£13.50
