A Taste of the Caribbean – London Style

Explore London's Caribbean cuisine with vibrant spots like Danclair's Kitchen, Jam Delish, Ma Petite Jamaica, and Rudie’s Jerk Shack for authentic flavors.

The Caribbean, and the exquisite flavours of this region, hold a special place in the heart of London. The vibrancy of the Caribbean has long driven the pulse of culture in London. Since the middle of the twentieth century, London has been developing a fantastic collection of Caribbean eateries and street-food vendors, producing food from all across the region. With an influx of migrants from Jamaica, Trinidad &amp; Tobago, and Guyana during the 1960s and 1970s, the food landscape of London, and indeed the rest of Britain, changed for the better forever. In the early days, this exquisite food was eaten mostly in homes and in family-owned restaurants serving local communities. However, the appeal of the tastes of the Caribbean didn’t stay under wraps for long. Soon enough, events like the Notting Hill Carnival introduced this cuisine to the wider population in London. Nowadays, Caribbean food is central to Britain’s culinary identity, with foods like plantains, jerk seasonings, and patties sold in supermarkets across the British Isles.
