My wife and I came here for our 11 year anniversary and really couldn't have asked for better food/service. They had even decorated the table with rose petals, candles and a handwritten sign just to make it extra special.

I can honestly say that the food was some of the best we've tried in the town and some of the best Caribbean food we've ever had.

The Dumplings and Stamp & Go were perfect, the Jersey chicken and Jerk Mac and Cheese pie were seriously good and the Chocolate and Orange cake was every bit as good as it looks.

The staff were extremely friendly and attentive making sure we were always topped up with drinks & the waiting time in between courses was pretty good.

We loved the decor and all in all this place is a real gem in a town full of good places to eat. Prices are very good too for the portion sizes.

Thank you for making our anniversary so special, we will 100% be back again.

The food is excellent. We have been twice in the last few weeks and are going again this weekend for a birthday dinner. The folks who run the place are relaxed and friendly. The menu is not extensive, so while there is plenty of choice, you don't need to spend ages pondering. The jerk and the curries are top drawer, with everything cooked perfectly.

Visited this establishment a couple of days ago with 4 other members of my family for the first time. I have to say it is one of the most welcoming and friendly restaurants I've been to in a long time. We were greeted warmly and made to feel welcome immediately. The waiter & owner was friendly and accommodating and couldn't do enough for us. The food was well presented, well cooked & tasty. The overall vibe of the place was fantastic with chilled reggae playing in the background. If you love West Indian cooking and a chilled atmosphere this is the place for you. The only slight disappointment for my step father was no snapper or bream.... But he did find plenty of other tasty morsels to fill the void. We will definitely be back. Thanks for the great evening, keep it up 🙂👍

The food was fairly spicy, dry, and partially cold. Long waiting time, approx. 30 minutes. The peas are called red beans. The meat dish was mostly bone-in-oil with a little meat. And my vegan dish turned out to be vegetarian. The juice was supposed to be fresh, it was made of cardboard - and I asked specifically before. There was no cider on the menu, it was different from the menu. Drinks well and some two out of one. Vege burner was very disappointing. And the cauliflower pieces are very spicy. We spent about £ 55 and left hungry. I strongly advise against. The garden was ok.

Fantastic restaurant, friendly staff, great food - what's not to like. Started off with a lamb patty. It arrived hot, crispy, delicately spiced, really tasty. For main I ordered the curried goat. The amount of bones in the curry showed it was authentic, but the meat was tender and tasty. It was accompanied by a bowl of spice, which really complemented the curry. Together with salad, rice and beans It was very tasty. Shame there weren't more people there on a Friday night, but now you've read this review you'll fix that. Go! Your stomach will thank you!

Amazing food! Good portion sizes. Freshly cooked to order. You could tell the chef was experienced and knew what he was doin with the flavours. Very Friendly staff. We were made to feel welcome when we arrived and had our table booked for 8pm on a Friday night.

I had the Jamaican dumplings with jerk mayo followed by a decently sized half Jerk chicken with sweet potato fries. All flavours were spot on! A kick with the spice was good too. There was little a jug of jerk gravy to spice things up even more if you wanted to add it. Also some lovely cooling coleslaw on the side made it a Perfect meal. Then Followed it up with a trio of icecream: rum & raisin, coconut and vanilla to finish with. Perfect sizes. 😁

Copies of Menus on tables could do with being laminated perhaps and there was a little bit of confusion from staff as to what was actually available on the menu (just a tiny point that would have given it a 5 star in my opinion)

But otherwise an extremely lovely experience. Will defo be coming back to taste some more of your delicious Jamaican food

Thankyou very much

It's a little bit hard to find the place because online you will find it "Caribbean DutchPot" and the actual name of the pub is "The Press".
We had happy hour cockteils on a Saturday and the waitress mixt our order with the table next to us. She didn't bring all cockteils together for everybody, and she forgot to bring two of them.
The food and drinks take long to arrive.The food was not authentic tasting, and that was disappointing.
Friendly staff, chilled atmosphere, but must be careful when serving customers.
When we asked for the bill, we noticed that they forgot to add the last cocktails ordered. I told the waiter and she immediately changed the bill.
It was obvious that she was overwhelmed, and ironically, the place was not crowded.
