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!

Amazing find on Ventnor seafront. This is not a sushi and sashimi place but rather a straightforward primarily fish restaurant cooking food in a wonderfully-tasty and delicious manner. The atmosphere is entirely casual, the table layout is simple and it is not a large restaurant. Service is friendly and personalised. Prices are not cheap but this is a personal choice.

Great place to eat! The food is very tasty and every dish was delicious. The staff always ask if you have any allergies. We were seated near the window and we had a great view towards the marina.

Staff were very good - our server paid particular attention to my fussy eater Grandson to make sure he was enjoying his food and offering him alternatives. Food was great and we all enjoyed it. Perhaps add a dessert that’s dairy free - the polenta cake was a bit grainy!
