Back-a-Yard Jamaican Cuisine in Nottingham

I never thought I’d find a good Caribbean takeaway in Nottingham especially because I am very fussy with Caribbean food. Now… let’s just say that this food reminded me of HOME. Perfectly cooked, fresh and tasty!!!

Oh my days!! I can't move!! The jerk chicken dumplings were amazing!! All freshly cooked and incredibly delicious. I scoffed to many, couldn't help myself. Chicken strips, rice n peas.... I've tasted all. This lady and her crew deserve a Michelin star at least. I know they cater for events n parties. Will definitely be going back for more!

Booked Back-a-yard cuisine for my partner's 40th and they were fantastic. The food was so good, and everyone commented on how delicious it was. Shereen was so helpful and accommodating. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Back-a-yard to anyone looking for authentic Jamaican food for their event. Thank you Shereen!

Lovely soul food prepared to perfection if ever you need Carribbean food this is the place for sure. I'm a regular customer and the foods always on point.

Wonderful experience. Reenie’s food taste amazing - especially dumplings. Super service!

Loved the food, specially the crisp ones of the plantain, so good. The stuffed dumplings are amazing . Staff members are very welcoming and always ready to look after you. Mario

Fantastic outside catering for our office. Delicious and nothing too much trouble. Even with the rain, they were smiling and more importantly efficient and delicious food. Would recommend to anyone and everyone.

Delicious jerk chicken dumplings. The service was excellent, the dumplings were full of flavour and very reasonably priced. I would highly recommend their services.

I feel I've been spoiled living in London, I visited Nottingham to help out my son who is at Uni. We came across what looked like an interesting Caribbean take away however, all I felt was disappointed. A medium curried Mutton, rice and peas was £11.00! The other two items (macaroni cheese and a patti) saw me handing over near on £20! I may have forgiven the cost if the meal was extraordinary but, it wasn't. Come on guy I want to support you, support me, no?

Amazing food worth the travel great friendly lads

I had the curried mutton meal with rice and beans and plantain as well as the fruit punch. It was the best mutton I have ever had, it was just falling apart and the layers and layers of flavours were amazing as each bite I took I uncovered a new flavour. I would highly recommend Back A Yard Jamaican Cuisine if you are looking for some amazing Jamaican food.

Just like being in Jamaica! Gorgeous punch and jerk chicken

Myself and my son have Just had mac cheese with chicken. Absolutely beautiful 👌 Best around 👍

Great food. Have lived in and around Forest Fields for a while and have eaten from all the local Jamaican take aways and Back-a-Yard is the best. Customer service is friendly and welcoming. Food is tasty and you can tell from flavours it has quality fresh ingredients.

Hired Shereen and her team for my children's christening for 100+ people, she was professional from start to finish, we ordered a variety of food, Curry mutton, Stewed Chicken, Chickpea curry and lots more. So delicious, so well presented, staff very friendly! I would definitely recommend and use again - food was amazing

The food was AMAZING and really tasty!! I had the curried goat, rice, fried chicken and dumplings - full of flavour, not too over spicy, just right! They did the catering at a christening I went to in Pinxton, will deffo recommend this place if your looking for authentic Jamaican cuisine 👍🏾

The food was amazing, felt like I was at home in the Caribbean

Catered for family members christening. Outstanding food professional and respectful attitudes and definitely helped myself to seconds 😅. I highly recommend and offer a great selection for the vegan diners

The food was beautiful, had a different range of dishes to choose from and the ladies serving were very accommodating of people's dietary requirements also!

Absolutely delicious the food here is amazing amd taste so good I definitely recommend this place

Just been to this place for the first time and it will not be the last,,the food is astonishingly good,loved the jerk chicken and the chicken dumplings(lots of filling),and the nicest, most pleasant people running it,what more can you ask?

Great food and lovely service! Portions were plentiful and everything was v tasty

I tried this takeaway for the first time today as I am of Jamaican heritage and am myself an excellent cook. Today I felt like something different and ordered 2 Jerk chicken meals, I ackee and saltfish meal, 1 stew chicken meal and four fried dumplings. I ordered through google and when it said that the food would be here within half an hour I thought to myself "no way". I have ordered from caribbean takeaways before and usually you have to wait ages. Well I am astounded. Not only did the food arrive on time, it was absolutely delicious and well worth the money. The dumplings really were light and fluffy. The jerk was hot but flavoursome as opposed to hot full stop! The ackee and saltfish reminded me of how my mum used to make it. The stew chicken was tasty. The lady who delivered my food was courteous. I didn't realise they had a card machine and paid cash on delivery. All in all a fabulous experience, which if I wasn't on a diet, I would be repeating more often. I am glad at last we have somewhere good, authentically Jamaican in Nottingham that delivers good food on time. Biggup to the owners and keep up the good work. I and my family will be back again soon.

We used shereen for a funeral, we catered for 60 people, was lots food, very big portions, I'm not that familiar with jamaican food but knew wot to order. Every1 said how lovely it was, my partners aunty who is jamaican shes 94, said how beautiful food was she said my kinda food. There was lots left over so people were taking it away in cartons too. Shereen and her family didn't rush any1 was all served with a smile. Would highly recommend back a yard ( shereen spurgeon) excellent food excellent service.

Excellent customer service, very nice and friendly. Will definitely go back again.

The food was absolutely incredible! Full of so much flavour and the perfect level of spice. And the staff are so friendly. I would recommend to everyone even if you’ve never had Jamaican food this is a great way to introduce it to your palette.

I had the Curried Coconut Prawns with Fried Chicken and Sweet Chilli and it was amazing! Will be ordering again soon!

Wow. What can I say. The chicken strips were by far the best I have ever had. And I’ve had a few. The curry beef and rice and peas was spot on. Filled a big whole and good sized portions. Now. I was told. Shereen sent you this….. It’s home made. It’s hot. chilli to accompany my chicken strips. OMG. This needs to hit the supermarket shelves. Was it hot. Yes. Very. But damn this sauce was by far the tastiest most satisfying chilli sauce I have ever had. I cannot exaggerate how good it was. Usually hot is too hot. No taste. But this was hot. Very hot. Yet perfectly textured and every bit his my tastebuds. Can’t wait for more. Thank you

I brought some food from this take away. The service was great and the food exceptional. I'll definitely go there again.

Going in the shop and being greeted with big smiles and polite and happy staff made my experience so enjoyable, the food on top made it even better. If your looking for a Authentic Jamaica take away this is the place for you. They also offer amazing services for outside catering!!!
