S & S Caribbean Cafe

CBA to cook, so I ordered from the S and S Caribbean Cafe opposite Wilkinson. I haven't eaten any Caribbean food for about 30 years, so I wasn't sure what to expect. They are really reasonable, and I got plenty of bang for my buck. To start I had salt fish fritters, fried plantain and chicken wings. They supplied a lovely small but fresh salad to go with this. The picture is of half the starters supplied. Not bad eh?
Main course, not such a pretty picture, but tasty, was curry goat and rice and peas. The meat fell off the bone and was absolutely delicious.
Slightly different to my memory, but I can't remember what day it is, let alone 30 years ago. All in all for a good value blow out, not bad. You will have suck bones though if you go for the goat!

This food was DISGUSTING. No flavour at all and tiny portions. My family and I were beyond disappointed. Tiny, dry and tasteless chicken wings (the wing is cut into two), there is nothing "jerk" about them. Soggy, subpar salt fish fritters. Rock hard dumplings, better suited for playing a game of tennis. The curry goat was thick, tasteless and quite frankly terrifying. Hardly a curry, more of a gloopy gloop. They do not even give you a full container. It was half full, as well as the container of rice. Hard and dry dumplings. £30 down the drain. I would have much preferred McDonald's. If you're expecting Caribbean as good as cities such as London and Birmingham, turn around.

Me & my girlfriend decided on something different, decided on Curried goat with rice n peas, dumplings & fish Fritters. Food was very nice and made a nice change to the usual choices around here, will deffo be going back

Great food, friendly people made us feel at home pure comfort food 😍 with a family type vibe

Form being a boring eater to having a lovely jerk chicken curry, I also had a try of the goat curry and the ox tail curry the meat was tender and succulent and the sauce was full of flavour with spices that wasnt spicy highly recommend!!

The lovely lady who was serving made me feel comfortable and when I got full there was also an option to take the rest away

The rest of colchester need to come in and have a look to get a lesson in hospitality

Thank you for an outstanding meal and making me feel welcome

The food wasn't fresh, the rice was burnt and the meat was tasteless. Really wanted the food to be good but every time I've ordered I've been disappointed.

Customer service was great but food disappointing. I asked for curry goat and got stew goat. Also got a hair strand in my salad. Sorry I won’t be returning.

Love this place!

I'll admit it's hit and miss most of the time but the food can be awesome! They aren't always open during opening times which is annoying.

The jerk pork used to be amazing but they must have a new chef and recipe as it's not as good anymore and that's a real shame as it was by far my favourite dish from here.

Edit: I had the jerk pork again recently and it was different again! but this time it had returned to its lovely deep rich flavour.

The staff are very nice and welcoming all the time.

They do a buffet on a Saturday where you can eat all you like for £8 a head. I've never been to this but would assume it's the best way to try out the dishes if your not sure what to have. Not everything is spicy so don't be affraid to ask them what's good if you don't like spicy food.
