Moved to loughton last year and have driven past this place hundreds of times and always looked temping. Im all for supporting local restaurants and businesses rather than the 'chains', that being said, we always end up nandoes with the family. So thought we'd try something different on a friday night. Arrived at about 7 before the crowds hit (by 8 it was packed so if you have little kids best to come a little earlier to make sure you get a seat). Kids ordered the pop corn chicken, I ordered the jerk burger and my wife the halloumi burger and mac and cheese. It was the service that stood out for me, the guy at the till (sorry I didnt get your name) was friendly, explained the menu and didnt rush us at all. My word, the food was out of this world. Ive been to jamaica, the land of the jerk three times and thought that this would never compare. Honestly, it was so succulent and spicy, really as good as the real deal (if not better). My wife (who loves nandoes halloumi burger) said it was the best shes ever had and I tried the kids pop corn chicken which was delicious. Guys, love the story behind the restaurant and wish you all the luck. Will be defo recommending this place to my friends and family, a real gem in loughton! Well done guys
All Id say is, if youre a family on a busy night like friday or saturday, best come earlier before it gets too packed, but guess this is a good sign of its popularity.
