Blue Mountain Rum Lounge in Lambeth

The Rum Lounge is the hidden gem of south east London ... this unassuming small, cosy restaurant has outstanding Caribbean food ... a wonderful setting with old Skool and soul music amongst iconic pictures of well musicians .... We loved it and going back again soon ... thank you so much !!

Food is fantastic. Friendly owners and staff. Very authentic vibe. Can be busy as it’s small but early in the week it’s often quiet. Also great to rent out while place for smallish parties.

I came across this Resturant purely by accident on Just Eat and after devouring an awesome steamed Sea Bream with Lentil Salad meal (delivered) I had to check out what the actual Resturant was all about. And am I so glad that I did. I’ve now found a truly awesome decorated place with a great menu, filled with ambience and memorabilia that takes you down memory lane (those of us who remembers record players and type writers will smile). And the drinks / cocktails will satisfy even the most discerning of drinkers. What made the whole experience such an enjoyable one has to be the care and attention we were give by the staff (yes June - I’m talking about you). She took the time to make us special cocktails we would like, explained the menu to us and is such a lovely bubbly character that I’ve had to give her a shout out. She is a credit to the Resturant. The extensive menu caters for everyone vegan and meat eaters alike and presentation is right up there with those premium restaurants in the west end. I will definitely be returning!

Eclectic decor, quiet little place. Went for a quick bite spur of the moment. Great salt fish fritters to start and jerk salmon and sea bream mains with plantains, rice and peas. Great food and homely welcoming vibe. Look forward to going back.

A beautifully created eclectic spot with an authentic homely Carribbean feeling. This little hidden spot is not only inviting, the customer experience is truly a pleasure, hospitable, and its environment is magical yet homely. With Caribbean vibes from many Caribbean islands. It's a definite return.

We eventually found that this place was open for Sunday brunch - having seen positive reviews. Would definitely recommend - I had the Jamaican Breakfast, which was delicious, and he had the Eggs Royale. Good portions, eggs done to your personal liking. Very friendly, cheerful service and cosy surroundings.

booked this restaurant after reading the positive reviews. twelve of us went for my birthday meal on Friday. We were warmly greeted and shown to our seats. The waitress that served us was very friendly and helpful. The food was tasty and nicely presented .The portions were also good sizes ( oxtail, soup and the fish) would definitely go back again and recommend this restaurant..

This is a small bar/restaurant, with a homely feel and friendly management/staff. The food was tasty (even if the rice portions were a bit small). Everything was reasonably priced. Gipsy Hill station is opposite, so it's really convenient to get to/from.

Friends raving about the breakfast brought me here for brunch on a bright and crisp Sunday. We arrived at 11:30. Staff (think it is a husband and wife team?) very jolly and welcoming. Love that. I went for the Jamaican breakfast as a) I’ve not had anything like it before, and b) my friends recommended it. First thing that I noticed was the presentation of my food - what beauty (see my pics). I can say with conviction the two poached eggs atop my salt cod and plantain pancakes were the most perfectly cooked I’ve ever had. The breakfast not only looked wonderful, but tasted delightful. We each had a couple of good coffees. My friends paid (cracking) for what was for me a first foray into Jamaican breakfast. I’ll be back here for the welcome and the food.

We love this place (now renamed as Rock Steady). The food is AMAZING and staff are super friendly. We have been lots of times and have also had private parties. The new weekend brunch is also fantastic - the smoked mackerel kedgeree was my husbands favourite ever dish

Food was amazing and the service was absolutely brilliant. We live locally and it had been on the hit list for some time, so glad we finally went. Will be back again and again. It’s actually called Rocksteady Rum Lounge now and the owners have really got it locked down. Reccomend the festival breads, patties and brown down stew, but it’s all delicious!

Stumbled across this fantastic restaurant by chance. Wonderful atmosphere and ambience. Service made us feel like old returning friends. As for the food it was quite spectacular - will definitely visit again next time we’re in the area.

Visited with friends for an evening meal. All the main dishes looked amazing, I can personally recommend the curried goat, chicken stew and I polished off all my rice and peas- so tasty! We also had some patties to start which were really good, even the salad was mouth watering. The cocktails were also tasty, the service was friendly and attentive and the place has a homely, comfortable feel. I'd definitely recommend this place and really hope to visit again. Thank you for a lovely evening.

Used Rock Steady Rum Lounge (their new name) to cater for my mum's birthday party. Ordered brown stew chicken, curried goat, rice and peas, chick pea curry, plantain and coleslaw. Lots of compliments from the guests especially for the curried goat which was really tender and the rice and peas which my mum said was the most authentic she's had from a restaurant. The service was very good. We sat down beforehand to go over what I needed. They brought the food on time and in bamborees so the food was kept warm and was easy to serve. Made my life so much easier. Have been to the restaurant many times so would definitely recommend them if you want really good authentic Jamaican food.

Not only is your food and customer service brilliant but you made my little girls day by sponsoring her for sports relief, With your generous donation rubyrose managed to raise a fantastic £78.00 for sport relief and for 8 years of age that's a a whooping achievement She ran jumped hopped and skipped and ended it off with an amazing dance off all in aid of helping others less fortunate than herself. Thank you so much for trusting and believing in such a wonderful cause and most importantly a special little girl. Your generosity is a life changer for someone else this restaurant is unbelievable for its food staff and owners, God bless you one super proud mummy,neighbour and very satisfied customer xxx This restaurant is no 10 out of 10 it's off the scales at 100% and more Wendy Davies

Really enjoyed a curried goat, rice and peas along with some fresh jerk chicken as a takeaway collection. Service was quick and friendly and would love to try the restaurant next time!

Nice food, the fish was really nice!! The rice portion needs to be larger, it’s a bit too small for the price.

The food was outstanding. You can tell it was freshly cooked. ( other places around here tend to batch cook and heat up) the jerk wings were one of the best I've ever had. I'll be ordering here again soon.

Hidden gem in london. Fabulous food and lovely cocktails. Nice to find a place that serves good hot portions. The staff go out of there way to make your stay as lovely as possible.

Came for an impromptu meal with a friend after work and pleasantly surprised by the hospitality and the decor. The jerk salmon and plantain was delightful and the dark n stormy was really strong. Truly good food and lovely service – will definitely be coming...

An unplanned stop in Gypsy hill ended up in this perfect rum bar. Followed by tasty food and beautiful rum cocktails. Thank you so much.

The good: great little venue, nice decor. Very friendly, welcoming staff. Good selection of rums (we were given a tasting session before ordering ours). The bad: the food...our jerk chicken was over cooked and dry. The goat curry was dry to the point of inedible....

Have now been here at least four times. On two occasions we had delicious three course meals, on one occasion it was distinctly average, and on our most recent attempt it was downright awful. I tend to go for the classics: curried goat, jerk chicken,...

The good: the food was pretty nice. The curries were tasty, delivery quick and hot, and they make an effort to present the food well. The very bad: ordered a so-called dairy free ice cream. The Just Eat menu specifically stated it was dairy free....

I love the venue - quirky and retro. Really laid back style with friendly cheerful staff. I ordered mini patties for starters followed by Jerk chicken accompanied by steamed Basmati rice. The portions are generous and I wasn't able to manage a dessert. However some...

Great service and lovely food. We shared a mixture of starters, sides and some jerk chicken - all really tasty. The hot sweet chilli sauce is addictive. And really enjoyed my dark and stormy. Definately be back
