Hayling Island Restaurants

This is a vibrant busy eatery so if you like it quiet then it’s not for you! The staff are great….always smiling and helpful. We went on a Friday night and people were queuing out the door waiting for tables so prebooking is definitely recommended. The food is spicy as you would expect so if you want your fries with less spice then ask for the BBQ sauce to be left off. Overall a good taste of Jamaica…..just wish we had the sunshine to go with it!!

Not my first visit, never disappointed, food is great and so is the staff!

Things did not get off to a great start on a few counts: 1 - The table had a QR code for menu and ordering at the table. But upon using this, the website did not respond. I went to the bar and raised this with a waitress and she said, "yes, sometimes we turn that off", which makes no sense. Why would you just turn that feature off? 2 - So I ordered drinks at the bar in person, and they did not materialise. I went back to the bar after 10-15 mins to query this, and I had to give my order again. I think there may have been a new-starter there, and we all have to learn somewhere, so I did not give them a hard time over this. 3 - The guy taking my food order asked if I wanted to run a tab, which I did as knew we'd order more drinks. But then a waitress said that they don't do tabs, there was some discussion and it was deemed I was not able to run a tab. That's pretty ridiculous to be honest, if you're voluntarily disabling the QR code self-service, then not allowing customers to run a tab, it's just causing customer inconvenience. After this, things picked up and our food orders were taken promptly, the food arrived in a reasonable time, and the food turned out to be pretty good. Putting aside the new starter matter - as it would be unfair to mark the place down due to a training item - the service re. the QR code self-service and not running a tab needs resolving, but other than that, this was a pretty good experience and all of us enjoyed our food and had a nice evening.

The food is simply exquisite, a 100%+ better than any Chinese takeaway you have ever had. Nicely presented & plenty of it.

The menu is varied and interesting. Food is well made and beautifully presented, a cut above the average. Staff are friendly and attentive. The whole experience is very enjoyable.
