A legendary, sporadic Caribbean street stall in Hackney where the elusive owner Otis crafts one of London's best jerk chicken sandwiches.
Ordering Strategy
The stand's hours are famously 'whenever I feel like getting out of bed' (nominally Wed-Sun), so have a backup plan. The sandwich is the priority.
What to order
Jerk Chicken Sandwich
The undisputed star: deboned leg meat, crispy skin, and spiced gravy between thick wholemeal slices.
Jerk Chicken
The smoky, marinated leg meat served on its own or with sides like cabbage and carrots.
Curry Goat
A rich and heavy must-order where the meat is fall-apart tender with zero effort.
Festival
Sweet, deep-fried dough balls that are the perfect companion for mopping up the extra spiced gravy.
