This little gem serves up authentic Jamaican dishes to take away. The meat is smoked outside in a smoking barrel which has a Jamaican flag painted on the outside which is a nice touch. I personally always get the Jerk Chicken which is served with plenty of sauce, rice and kidney beans and homemade coleslaw or steamed veggies. It's delicious! Other dishes include soups, dumplings, curries etc. You can also get grape soda.

Parks & Nature
Clissold Park is lovely and always bustling on sunny days. I like to sit and watch the skaters at the skate park.
