A legendary outdoor lunch stall in Waterloo Green serving colossal, unbeatable-value portions of oil-drum smoked Caribbean meats.
Ordering Strategy
Arrive before 1 PM to avoid the infamous 20-minute lunchtime queues and ensure they haven't sold out. Order a large portion with rice and peas for maximum value.
What to order
Jerk Chicken
The signature dish, smoked in a traditional oil drum with a thick, bark-like coating of allspice, thyme, and Scotch bonnet.
Large Jerk Chicken with Rice and Peas
A monstrous, protein-packed portion that can easily stretch to two meals. Pro tip: ask for oxtail gravy on the rice.
Curry Goat
A heavily praised daily special featuring perfectly spiced, tender goat.

Good to know
Weekday lunch only (8 AM - 2 PM). Seating is limited to park benches, and you'll likely be eating with your hands—thankfully there's a water tap in the park for washing up.
