A warm, design-forward neighbourhood spot in a former chippy, serving rotating, homestyle Caribbean small plates to a soundtrack of breezy soca.
Ordering Strategy
The menu changes frequently based on seasonality, so don't get too attached to specific protein dishes like jerk chicken. It's a small plates concept, so order 2-3 dishes per person to share.
What to order
Smoked Sausage
Described as a 'jolting curtain-raiser,' this dish features a 'crisp-skinned snap' and 'bonfire-wafted spicing.' It is served with a vibrant yellow Bajan pepper sauce that critics praise for its heat and vigour.
Jerk Chicken
A substantial and 'lucid dish' consisting of succulent, 'darkly charred pieces of bird' with a 'properly crunchy blackened skin' and a 'big old hit of pimento and mace.'
Stewed Beans
This 'homestyle' comfort food is cooked in a 'thumping gravy' that is 'moreishly deep-flavoured.' It's a staple of the menu that critics claim makes any bad day better.
Mauby Cocktail
The restaurant's namesake, this drink is made from herbal tree bark. It offers a 'sweet sharpness' and a unique Caribbean flavour profile that can be enjoyed with a 'good measure' of Jamaican Wray & Nephew rum.
