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 CommunitySince 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!

    Very good food but the portion size has reduced in comparison with former visits. It’s not that I want a large meal but the portions were quite small.

    Having visited before we decided to come again bringing our Son & Daughter-in-law for a treat. Had not been on a Sunday before and so hadn't tried the carvery. We all opted for this and it was excellent. Plenty of everything and all beautifully cooked and presented. Just about had room for dessert. We all enjoyed the food and atmosphere of the pub and will visit again.

    We had a great evening, we were celebrating my friend’s 60th and I did say on the booking it was for a birthday, but nothing happened. Restaurants I’ve been to have always come out with something and made a bit of a fuss for a birthday.
