We are Natty’s Jerk, a community-led Jamaican food experience feeding hungry bellies along the South Coast, UK.
We call it a food experience because it’s about SO much more than the food on your plate. We’re here to share the tastes, stories and culture of the Caribbean with you, your dad and anyone else we can get our hands on.
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.
Since 2017, our "fambily" has been serving up a modern twist on Jamaican cuisine and the community has been our rock.
Head down to our Shack in Portsmouth to experience where it all began, or let us transport you to J.A with the atmosphere and rich flavours of Natty's at the Hilton Bournemouth. We can't wait for you to try!
At Natty’s Jerk Shack, our heart beats to the rhythm of community spirit. It’s not just about serving food; it’s about creating a space where culture, passion, and togetherness blend seamlessly. We’ve embarked on a mission to not only introduce the UK to the authentic taste of the Caribbean but also to foster a sense of community. From hosting local events and cultural festivals to participating in charity drives, we believe in giving back and growing together.

Ted talk....
Last week my wife made a statement. "Nat what ever you have wanted you`ve always got!" I`m ashamed to admit that I didn`t take it as a compliment, but a criticism. Myself and Sam have have been entwined since we were in the final year of secondary school I have 4 children but my beautiful wife has 5… I`m the 5th! So like a child I sat on the step after stomping my feet and realised “maybe she was complimenting me?”
Now I`m awake and have been awake since 3:30am because this evening we find out if we have done enough to take the title of to Uber Eats Restaurant of the Year for UK and Ireland back home to humble Pompey
It has been something I have had my eye on from the first time we took part in 2022. Could this be the year? Like the spoilt child "I want it!"
Like Sam said, I do usually
get what I want, but nothing is possible without the support of everyone around me, from the family, friends and our community.
So thank you and one love no matter what happens...
I`m so proud of what we together, have achieved 💚💛❤️
