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!

This is a very good pub and restaurant with friendly staff and good food. A little pricey but probably good value for money. I would recommend it. It fails a 5 star review as there is no low alcohol bitters. Adams ghost ship is no longer stocked. But there are others like old speckled hen. Bottles preferred not cans, I am thinking of Brew Dog.

Early dinner with friends. Lovely outside on the terrace on a warm sunny evening. Enjoyed most of our food, although salmon was flabby rather than crispy skin, didn't look very appealing. Large slab of herb butter didn't melt in so it was a bit cold. However burgers were excellent. We had a voucher so good value! Our server Katie was great
