From the juiciest Jamaican Jerk to the silkiest Mauritian curries, we've got a creative collection of Caribbean street food traders, perfect for all sorts of events, from wedding receptions to 50th birthday parties!

Mama’s Jerk

Passionate about everything jerk, Mama’s Jerk are famous for their outrageously succulent and fiery 24-hour marinated jerk smoked chicken, given the title of 'London’s best jerk chicken' by both the Evening Standard and Time Out! The rest of their menu is innovative and authentic all at the same time, with Caribbean favourites like sweet potato cakes with hot pepper pickle, as well as a number of tasty fish and vegetarian dishes. Mama’s Jerk make their own jerk sauce using a secret recipe that’s been passed down through generations from Mama Charlotte.

We love the Jerk BBQ Chicken Wrap… a hot wrap filled with sweet corn, cucumber, coconut, tomatoes and jerk chicken, served with jerk BBQ sauce, hot pepper pickle and mango mayo.

Artel’s

Artel’s are aiming to present Caribbean cuisine in a totally new light by making classic Jamaican street food dishes from old family recipes with an original contemporary spin. Their menu is simple but 100% delicious, filled with succulent meats, colourful vegetables and plenty of flavour.

We love the Pork Belly Roll… diced pork belly with slaw, Artel's mayo, jerk sauce and crispy plantain on a sweet toasted bun. We'll take some Thyme and Chilli Salt Fries on the side too!
