We visited as a team of 10 people recently as recommended by our colleagues who live locally for a work get together - they were so right! The restaurant itself is fabulous and I would go there again! The service was impeccable, friendly servers and the food was delicious with generous portions. So reasonably priced and a good wine list too. I had the lamb chops. Highly recommend. Everyone's food came out together, everything was hot and well cooked. I had a birthday cake that was heart shaped and honestly the lightest, tastiest cake I've every tried!! So lovely and a great experience too. The decor made you feel like a celebrity! Great Insta pics in every corner of the place. Thank you for making us feel so welcome.

Portsmouth

About the restaurant

When we started out in 2017, we were cheffing up from the courtesy of our home in Portsmouth. It was all great fun and games until customers started showing up to our house for food collections… From there, we took a leap of faith, and a few box meals later, we had our very own market stall on Commercial Road. This was big for us. It was the first time we could connect with the community on a 1:1 basis and actually see customers fall in love after that first bite. Naturally, the food did it’s job, and as word spread, our small gazebo became a local sensation, bringing people together over plates of smoky and spicy delights.
Spicing Up the Community
Since 2017, our "fambily" has been serving up a modern twist on Jamaican cuisine and the community has been our rock.
Come down to our 'Shack' in Portsmouth to experience where it all began and feel the vybez!

First time going and I was impressed! Great value for money. The food looked burnt but it wasn't, it was flavour! Everything was cooked perfectly and the meat was juicy and succulent. The flavour was fantastic. The staff were fabulous. I will be returning

Had a stunning meal on Friday evening. We all agreed this was the best steaks we had eaten in a long time. Staff were so attentive & very knowledgeable as 1 of our guests is a celiac & she was great. Had a live singer & she was very good & it wasn’t so loud that you couldn’t have a conversation. Cant wait to return for the new winter menu. It’s only our 2nd time of eating here & have found our new local. Extremely happy with everything. Many thanks 🤩

Southampton

About the restaurant

Southampton Docks is the perfect place to enjoy the sunshine (though we can't promise the sun will turn up) and coastal views. Once you've had your dose of Vitamin Sea, visit Bill's just up the road from the waterfront for a watertight menu of light bites, seasonal dishes and signature cocktails. With various mouth-watering options spanning breakfast, brunch and dinner, it's perfect if you're on a day out or stopping to refuel after a spot of retail therapy at Westquay Shopping Centre.
