Has there been a change of management here? The festival used to be crisply divine and it would almost dissolve in your mouth … now it’s doughy and tough though the taste is ok. The pork used to be juicy, jerked and with minimum chews would melt in your mouth - now it’s dry and not that tasty plus there was no crispy cracklin …the hot sauce was nothing special .. just hot … AND on top of that the cashier charged our card twice … as she said it did not go through the first time… when we got down the road we realised the payment went through twice. So we had to turn around and go back to the shop. 15 minutes later no joy as they had no cash to refund us as they are now cashless,. We have to wait for the manager to contact us. This has left a very bad taste in our mouth. quite disappointed.

Edit: 3 days later and I'm on my way to the hospital due to food poisoning from this place.Saturday just gone, I've had food poisoning from this place, I'm not surprised other customers reviews have stated the same on the same day. If you can't ensure the jerk food is cooked properly, don't serve it! You're out here making us sick! I wouldn't recommend this place at all!I had the jerk chicken and pork mix.

This places bangs! Let me tell you how I travel for this jerk. The only other place I eat jerk is Jamaica. As for the vibes on the weekend. Always got me wanting to continue the vibe elsewhere but the truth is only getting them vibes in the shop.

After waiting 20mins to be served told they ran out of food (mutton) at 3 in the afternoon. The staff take your order and you're still waiting for the food which was dry. the gravy seemed as if it was made with bisto. the jerk sauce is just chilli sauce. At lease the chicken was cooked. Grossly overpriced for what is in the container. this was my second visit 6 months apart and nothing has changed. there will not be a third.

AVOID Rude staff asked for boneless meal wasn't told they cannot do boneless, then I was served a mixed random meat? no rice and dry plantian, will never go back had to argue to prove them wrong and got attitude in return, chef was rude and told me I ordered something different and I didn't ask 3 times before i ordered for a boneless meal, worst part is they wasn't even busy, got my refund and going to my normal takeaway in West Norwood

The food is so effin good. The horrendous attitude and bad service from the staff though is actually hilarious.

1 star is missing because the chicken needed to be jerked instead of the sauce being the main jerk. Otherwise, it's the same great taste, perfectly cooked and perfectly served.
Decent pork, but my god, the service is shocking. And the amount of sauce you get is insufficient for your meal size.

Very good food I am must say, been buying for years. Only issue is with when placing an order. You got loud music on and want customers to shout on top of their voice behind a glass ceiling to place their orders, this sometimes comes with mistakes and i can say i am not the only one as i have witnessed few customers go through that. Good food always on point but please lower your music to help you take the right orders.

4 items were missing from order upon delivery... Also, they've got no contact number, which means that I couldn't even get the order rectified!
