Jammin Jerk Hut in Bournemouth

Very good fresh Caribbean food at great prices, good ambiance and great service. Better than Turtle Bay.

When I was contemplating whether to buy a fresh fish from a fishman (which was a bit spontaneous and would made me to return home), I happened to noticing the Jerk Hut' chef picking the (catch of the day) sea basses for his restaurant. That after a couple of questions about 'how he would cook them', gave me an idea that it would be interesting to try his 'skills-n-ways' on that fish (not to mention, he promised to impress me!). And it turned out to be quite a treat and an experience of 'pairing' I never have thought of before. The modest by nature sea bass (cooking of which can go easily 'blah') was turned into a soft enough inside but very tasty-crunchy outside, that even the sucking its skin and bones excited my-taste buds. But the surprising part for me was in the pairing fish with the brown rice (that was flavoured nicely and cooked with the black beans, which apparently is very Jamaican). The sauce (on a side) was like a broth (i.e., special made!). And cooked paprika in a 'gravy' and the fresh salad leaves completed that dish. It had well balanced flavours; it was well cooked, and nicely presented dish that exceeded my expectations... for such a (modest-looking, squeezed between small shops) street-food resto-place. (Now I learned that they are a family business that is very serious about their food, brand, their culture, and their music... -- hats off to that!). P.S.! As what per price… the whole sea bass (on a rather large plate) with the whole experience I received... it was worth it! (Note: We should remember that the small, talented businesses nowadays are barely surviving. That the money you pay just slipping through ‘their pockets’ leaving not much in it. So, in my opinion, the comparison to what was before and scoring down for that difference is just an unfair punishment... and to what end?!). Regards. And all the best!

Great food, friendly staff and new puddings being trailed Really enjoyed ourselves, will go back, service took a while, but they were full and seemed to have allot of deliveries Good atmosphere Would recommend

The food was fantastic, reasonably priced too. Rum cocktails were delicious. Only negative is they only had one pudding available. Reggae sound track to go with the food.

A no fuss no nonsense establishment a place to enjoy authentic Caribbean food.Good hospitality also. The menu offered a great selection of choices catering for all taste including vegans as well. My vegan selection was very very tasty indeed, delicious and plentiful in Airton to that I had ordered a side dish too which for me was cooked to perfection. With a good selection of drinks definitely be making a return visit sometime soon.

We have loved Jerk hut since it opened and regularly eat in or get a takeaway. The food is phenomenal, amazing authentic flavours, fresh and great portions sizes. I was disappointed the brown chicken stew was not on the menu last time we ordered as its always been my favourite. The only down side is the increases in costs… I understand the cost of living is on the rise but in the last few years many of the dish prices has doubled… it won’t stop us ordering but will mean we can’t treat ourselves as often as we would like to!

I was so sad I'd finished my meal, I wanted it to last forever. When something is so good you know you will always remember. So I am highly recommending this to anyone looking to eat locally. Ill be dreaming about those dumplings tonight.

Came down from London and fancied some traditional Jamaican food and wow. Amazing food at a great price, would definitely recommend.

Have had meals from this estabishment quite a few times now Can be a bit hit and miss but when its good its really goooood, mostly good too! Food is a five star on a good day

Excellent food, price and service, would recommend. Lovely ambiance. We had Chicken with jerk sauce rice and peas, dumplings and a side of plantain.

Have been coming here for years for the best food. Have tasted everything on the menu! The chef is king! The hostesses are so nice and welcoming too! Nothing is too much. The music is 🔥🔥 Can recommend goat curry, the jerk, chicken in brown sauce, the DUMPLINGS, the greens, basically whatever you choose will be better some of the best food you’ve ever had. Thank you and blessings

Haven’t visited or had a takeaway for a while , not sure why but I won’t be waiting so long again . Ordered the chicken curry , rice and pea .. simply outstanding .. highly recommended !

Came across this little gem of a restaurant. Music, food and service great. Cant agree more with one of the former reviews which states that if this place was sited i.e. near the beach or in a better area they would make a fortune! Unfortunately this part of Boscombe is looking very run down but I’m pleased this didn't put us off.

Simply stunning, don’t tell everyone! Incredible food, banging atmosphere and service. Only thing missing is the Caribbean weather outside. Inside you are transported to a place with heart, soul and vibes.

First visit... absolutely incredible food and service Highly recommended ❤️❤️ Drove 50 miles well worth the journey

This is BEAUTIFUL food!!!!!!!!!! Super friendly staff, great drinks!!! Had a great night here, thanks guys!

I cried as the food was just too much Im A huge wing fan and this place does the very best wings I’ve been worldwide

We went here on a Saturday evening after booking first. The food was amazing and so tasty, served quickly and nice and hot. We will definitely book again the next time we visit Boscombe!

Desde mi brillante crítica anterior, le conté a mi familia lo genial que fue. Lo intentamos dos veces y las dos veces fueron realmente decepcionantes.Mi pollo al curry parecía como si lo hubieran raspado del fondo de la sartén. Estaba absolutamente nadando en aceite. Arruinó por completo el sabor del plato.Hija estaba realmente decepcionada por haber desperdiciado su dinero en la envoltura que estaba fría.Trabajamos duro y no queremos desperdiciar nuestro dinero en alimentos de mala calidad. Así que, lamentablemente, no me arriesgaré a intentarlo de nuevo.Estoy tan decepcionado de haber amado este lugar.

Vino con la familia, tenía una mezcla de comida, sopa, pollo estofado marrón y pollo a la jerk, los niños tenían el pollo a la jerk con salsa dulce de tirón, todo estaba muy sabroso, todos nos fuimos con grandes barrigas llenas, un verdadero placer y no demasiado caro, ahora cuando les pregunto qué les gusta a los niños, siempre es imbécil, kfc ya no está en su vocabulario, vale la pena un viaje, hemos estado varias veces y hemos probado casi todo en el menú, me encantó todo, 10 de 10 por todos nosotros

I am passionate about restaurants. This place imho has the best chicken wings I’ve had and I’m a huge fan of them, the best chicken. This place has exceptional food.

Went for lunch with my partner we both had the goat curry it was absolutely delicious. The back ground music gives the place an authentic atmosphere. Will go again next time we’re in Boscombe.

My partner and I went in for lunch on Saturday, she had the ackee and saltfish and I had the goat curry. I normally order different things off a menu as variety is the spice of life but this was out second trip and we both had the exact same meal as the first time... Except one thing...the dumplings. They were absolutely outstanding as was everything, both times. Amazingly tender meat and cooked to perfection. They had their 5th year anniversary and they deserve many,many more.

This was our first visit to this restaurant Excellent food and great atmosphere. The chicken curry just divine - handmade. Chicken jerk superb The restaurant nice and clean , Lovely atmosphere . Today you just gain another 3 customer's . Cool, friendly and professional .

I live in Brixton, so am used to superb Caribbean food - this place is no exception. Stunning sauces on the meat, fresh rice, juicy coleslaw & refreshing greens. Can't wait to come back!

Absolutely love everything about Jerk Hut food is exceptional freshly cooked tastes off the scale should be in the #Michelin guide, well worth a visit. The whole team are so warm wonderful service thankyou.

Have eaten in loads of times and fantastic . Had a take away and fantastic too. Hot tasty my own reggae music ... love it ... jerk hut never ever fails ..

Our first time in here and the food is amazing, strongly recommend. We will be back in the near future. Prices are very reasonable and you get plenty of food on your plate.

Amazing food plus the staff are so friendly and helpful. Will be back when visiting our daughter again

Fuimos a visitar a nuestra hija que acaba de mudarse a Boscombe, así que comimos en la cabaña. Qué puedo decir. Buena comida, excelente ambiente y el personal fue genial una buena noche en general. No puedo esperar para nuestra próxima visita. Gracias Lloyd a ti y a tu personal.

Came here in June with a friend. I had the curried chicken with rice and peas. Wow I was so surprised by how lovely the food was. Will definitely be back.

I spent a weekend in Bournemouth which I have frequented previously. On an occasion prior I stumbled on what can only be described as exquisite Jamaican quisine. This Jerk Hut produced fried dumplings which weren't greasy and too doughy. Crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside with a unique flavour of its own. The fried plantains, yet again were not overcooked or too greasy but clearly made with a lot of attention. The Jerk chicken was well seasoned and seemed flame grilled with the perfect amount of kick from the scotch bonnet peppers and other ingredients. It's clear the Chicken was marinated properly as the depth of flavour, showed it was cooked with love. Their cocktails were also very tasty and you'd be very happy for a happy hour in this establishment. In short, excellent food, excellent service and very reasonably priced. Enjoy!

The best Caribbean restaurant/takeaway I've ever been to! All the food is authentic and always delicious. It's inspired me to make my own Jerk Chicken when i have BBQ's!

Me encanta este lugar tanto. . . . . . La cabra al curry es hermosa al igual que el Pon Di Grill. . . . . Es un gran ambiente con un servicio amable. . . . . . me recuerda a una cafetería / parrilla jamaicana que usé cuando vivía en SW 11

I ordered a takeaway Ital Stew a Pea's to takeaway. I felt like I was back in my Nan's kitchen ❤️ I highly recommend.

Un grupo de damas visitó aquí el sábado. Disfrutamos de las comidas aquí. Es bueno pasar por una comida antes de salir para un evento nocturno. La comida estaba recién hecha y caliente! Tuve toda la lubina con verduras y esto fue perfecto para mí. Los tamaños de las porciones eran generosos. Definitivamente volvería de nuevo.

Love this place. We visited the same night as the Wailers were in town and were surprised to see the band members eating at the next table before the gig. The place was full to capacity but still the food and service were excellent.

Great place friendly offering authentic Jamaican food. Best Jerk Chicken around. Very busy at times which is a testament to the quality of food and service Thank You

Still as good as ever and really busy when we visited today with both eat in and takeaway. Always our go to place when we are missing Jamaica; jerk chicken, rice and peas.

A real gem of a jamaican cuisine with the best jerk chicken and excellent service. Fried dumplings are also a must try when visiting, along with the 7.5% bottled Guiness. Really recommend this place, we'll definitely come back.

Wow, not had such a lovely well priced meal in a long time, both our children eat all their meals 1 bbq chicken rice n peas 1 curry goat 2 jerk rice n peas. This place is clean,friendly nice helping of food. We would defently come back, defently recommend. Top place , good price. Nice and healthy thank you

Best jerk chicken ever! Great and friendly staff!! Good menu loads to choose from and just delicious

Been going here since it opened and we love the food, the jerk chicken is the best we have tried so far. Much better than turtle bay!! Staff are friendly, and there is always some good reggae playing in the background.

Good food and quirky feel. I would recommend the jerk chicken curry. Location is perfect if you are attending the 02.

Best jerk chicken outside of Jamaica. Attentive staff with great smiles. I went back a few days later for seconds!

Just want to tell all of the people of the south about the Jerk Hut,I have been actively spreading the word after friends,family, and work colleagues have all enjoyed great food and amazingly friendly atmosphere. Each time we go to either restaurant it's just a pleasure. Thanks guys. One Love.

Recomiendo Jammin Jerk Hut en Boscombe como mi primera opción para disfrutar de una buena comida, un servicio excelente y un ambiente agradable. Lo recomiendo a todos mis amigos y familiares y mi experiencia es tan perfecta ahora como en mi primera visita cuando se abrió. Bien hecho personal y mantener la mejor comida en la zona. Un menú tan variado también. Incluso me siento cómodo visitando por mi cuenta. . Bien hecho personal nos vemos pronto.

I visited the Jerk Hut in Westbourne with my partner, niece and nephew after a friend who lives in the area recommended it to us. We can honestly say that we were not disappointed and had a wonderful evening.

As Jamaican-raised people it's usually hard for me and my Mum to find a restaurant worth going to, so I'm very glad that this place exists (even though we live all the way in London!). The rice and peas was beautiful, the portion of jerk chicken was great, the plantain was nice and sweet, the coleslaw was fresh and the Macaroni cheese really hit the spot! Sharon is very welcoming alsi. Jamaicans especially don't be scared to come here, you won't be disappointed! Well done chefs

Had the pleasure of visiting with my husband and 2 children. Decor and vibe was fabulous, reception warm and friendly and tv with various reggae playing, really enjoyed it here. The food was like nothing i had ever tasted, absolutely amazing I had to have a peek at the 2 chefs working hard in the kitchen :) Their food is a heavenly party in your mouth and washed down with their potent cocktails it was worth every penny, thank you. Yes its a bit pricey but soo worth it. I live in Surrey and would happily travel all the way back down just to eat here.

Went for lunch with son don and his mate. My son had been nagging me to go for sometime now. Ok I concede I should have listened to him before! Cool place, cool vibe, friendly staff and most importantly great tasty food. I had the brown stew, my son the chicken curry and his mate half chicken. I introduced them to the doughnuts I had had elsewhere before..they were hooked! Nice amount of spice, nicely presented and good portion size. Return visit will be happening soon. Give them a go guys

A great taste of the Caribbean. Ordered a very flavoursome curried goat. Omg! Melt in your mouth meat and sensational spices. Very small venue and will return.

Different unfriendly staff, dumplin recipe changed, ok if you like cinnamon. Waitress vile attitude. Appeared clean. Nice jerk chicken

I opted for Goat curry and it was amazing. I can't wait to go back and be able to spend a bit more time trying more of the menu.

La comida aquí es excelente - estilo caribeño. Los chefs ciertamente saben lo que están haciendo. Ambiente agradable, con una buena selección de música típica del Caribe jugando a 'ambiente el lugar". Porciones podrían ser una tregua la diría - quizás 1. 5 veces el tamaño! . . , tal es el deseo de más una vez que han terminado!

I opted for a risky takeout. When I arrived, I was greeted by the friendliest person I’ve ever met. So much, I had a beer whilst for my meal.

Went here before concert at the O2. Very convenient. Fantastic food, great value and the staff were very friendly. If we lived locally we would be regulars. This is not haute cuisine but cafe style great grub.

This is da place for wholesome food, with Chicken Curry & Dumplings on the men U. Good size portion of food, I think every one cleaned the plates.

This is a the best place for food in Boscombe. It’s pretty small but has a good atmosphere and staff are friendly and helpful. Defiantly will be a regular 😎

We booked a table before attending a gig in the O2 Arena which is directly across the road. We booked earlier in the afternoon and I'm glad we did as not long after we sat down, the place was packed. We both went for the...

My partner called 2 hours prior to make a booking for 9pm at this restaurant after reading the reviews we were looking forward to having the Jammin experience. We are not from Boscombe Dorset so had problems finding parking and called the restaurant for guidance...

The place is pretty small inside so you might want to book if you want a large table! The service was good, reasonable prices and the food was AMAZING! I have recommended it to all of my friends! Real authentic Flavours and good portion size!...

Brilliant Authentic Caribbean Food, felt like I was walking back into my Granny's kitchen with the smell of good food and reggae tunes in the background. This place is the best around, curried goat, stew chicken, the fried dumplings sweet potato fries and coleslaw simply...

Its not often you see somewhere with no terrible reviews. But I can see why for this place - its basic, simple and brilliant! More of a cafe than restaurant (you have to order at the counter for instance), the food is fantastic. The people...

Loved this restaurant Rarely bother to write reviews but had to say what a fantastic place this is for great food in a warm vibrant environment The music was perfect & our hosts coped splendidly with our party of 11 Everyone loved the delicious carribean...

This place has increased it's prices now by around 30% since last year due to its popularity. The goat curry is cooked for 24 hours and really prepared with love. You know it's made by someone from the country and who is passionate about their cuisine.

Aparecimos para una comida rápida antes de un espectáculo en el O2 Academy (frente) y quedamos muy satisfechos. Genial bastante rápido, servicio de pollo y precios razonables. El queso haloumi era un poco pequeña, pero todo lo demás fue muy bueno. ¡Volveremos!

Nos metimos aquí antes de salir, y era tan bueno! El personal era realmente feliz y acogedor, y la comida era demencial! ! ! Tuvimos alas, haloumi y camote incendios, con cócteles. Gran relación calidad-precio, comida excelente, un ambiente genial. Sin duda lo recomiendo!

Llegamos el miércoles en la noche y el lugar estaba bastante vacío. Una vez que habíamos elegido nuestros platos nos al mostrador para pedir y pagar.

Having visited once before, I decided to take my disabled Mum as we both love Jamaican food. She had the goat curry which was amazing. I had a whole jerk chicken (I took home half) and Rasta Greens and mac n cheese for sides. All were top quality and very tasty. Reasonable prices too. Can't wait to go back

Yet another new cuisine for us, we always like to try something new when we are on our travels.

I was in Boscombe with some friends of mine for a salsa event at the o2, we had been advised by the owner of our Guest House to try the food as it was so good so we popped in as it is just opposite the place. The food is just wonderful so beautifully cooked and tastes delicious and there sweet potato fries are just the best. We wanted to go back again on Sunday but unfortunately they are closed on that one day only. I highly recommend anybody to go there if they are staying in Boscombe you will have a tasty delicious meal.

Went here for a family birthday, the food was amazing. The buzz of the place was perfect.

The food is great and I do keep coming here, even though I know the portions are fairly small (considering in Shepherd's Bush I can get a saltfish and akee cheaper, bigger portion and hotter!!)

The jerk chicken with sweet coconut source was amazing. Food 5 star but the cocktails only 3 star at best as they were small metal cups filled with ice and little cocktail that were weak with very little rum. Go for food. Avoid cocktails !!!

If somebody told me I'd find a gastronomic delight on Boscombe high street I would've laughed.... but we did, and it's fantastic!!We had salt fish fritters to start which were delicious, followed by curry goat and salmon in sweet coconut sauce. Both were authentically tasty and with just the right amount of spice.A great meal, in down to earth but suitable surroundings that we will be definitely visiting again.(Word to the wise, best to book as even on a wet Thursday evening people were having to queue!)

Friendly people, quick service, good value, well cooked Jamaican starters, sides, mains, including jerk chicken, curries (goat and two chicken) and an Ital option. Pleasingly it serves Pepsi not Coke which last time I was in Jamaica was also the case. £30 for two drinks, 2 starters and 2 mains - seems good value to me. Parking on nearby streets, good bar 1 minute away - Chaplin's.

Love this place so much. Stunning road and lovely people. Go here at least once a week as it's so amazing. The chicken is cooked to perfection and the jerk is outstanding. Makes me feel like I am back in Jamaica

The food is amazing, the staff are lovely and the atmosphere is awesome! The portions are decent and it's great value for money. What's not to love?✌

Jerk hut continue to dazzle with their lovely food, friendly staff and Caribbean ambience. My half chicken was cooked to perfection and washed down very nicely with a refreshing pineapple and coconut juice .

I live in Boscombe and always order a takeaway from here, I pop in and order from the counter and wait for it to be cooked, the staff are so friendly and welcoming, I can honestly say I have tried everything on the menu and I absolutely love it all! The jerk chicken is the best I've ever tasted, the thick slices of halloumi cheese are delicious, the curry goat....I'm not going to spoil it for you... you just have try it and you won't be disappointed! By far my favourite place, I even enjoy sitting down waiting for my food to cook.. as I love the vibe and the jamaican decor, everyone's happy and I will continue to eat their food, you cannot go wrong!

My partner booked a table for yesterday (25/07/17) for my birthday which she did via Facebook with no problems at all.I have eaten Jamaican food all over the country and this is BY FAR the best! The hut is decorated fantastically and has a relaxed feel to it.I had the curry goat which was the best curry goat I've had by a mile! The staff are all friendly and happy to help. We live 2 hours away but we will definitely be returning to the area mainly for the Jerk hut! Thank you for making our day even more special!

Wonderful wee place in Boscombe, with amazing food, great cocktails, and always super service with a smile. I love the reggae tunes, and the laid-back vibe. It's not fancy, but it's wicked. My hubby and I love the curry goat, and the mojitos. Everything about Jammin' Jerk Hut is brilliant. Heartily recommend.

We had a great meal. The staff were really friendly and helpful. Prices were very good. The rum punch was amazing. 5 choices of flavouring on the grilled dishes - we had jerk and jerk BBQ. Great sides, with fantastic fried plantain. Will definitely go again when in the area. Would love to try the curry goat next time. Lots of locals collecting takeaway while we there. Deservedly popular.

Have to say this is a little diamond in the rough. The food is outstanding and amazingly well priced! It's a small little hut of love wrapped in a beautiful environment. The staff are friendly and the food is out of this world. I honestly felt like I was back in Jamaica. By far the best chicken place in Bournemouth. If you haven't already been get yourself down asap!!!

Fantastic food, great service... every visit the food is amazing, very fresh and the jerk chicken is the best!

Went here with some friends, food was gorgeous, service was great and very friendly, will definitely be going again and will recommend to family and friends

As someone from Jamaica, I went here to try out the food. Service was friendly and good, portions were ok. The decor inside was interesting and a bit unusual - trying to recreate the Caribbean vibe on an English high street is never going to be easy! Food was authentic Jamaican, and the menu options were extensive - plenty to suit all. I'll be returning.

Had a really lovely time food was delicious service was great would definitely recommend. Will definitely go back!

Amazing food and great service very friendly! Had a lovely experience here would definitely recommend!

Amazing food, fabulous atmosphere and brilliant service.. can't wait to come again! Will definitely recommend to all my friends and family!

Amazing food ! Great staff highly recommend came here with some friends and really enjoyed it would come again

Always blessed to go here, amazing food, service, people. Highly advised for anyone searching for Jamaican. ❤️

I really enjoyed the food, chicken curry, and my wife enjoyed hers, goat curry.We had a cocktail each that was wonderfully presented in a bean can. The staff were excellent, friendly and funny. Everything clean and tidy. The menu had a good choice of meals and drinks.So why only three out of five?I hate being ripped off, so when I read the drinks list and see Red Stripe lager at £3.00 I didn't expect to receive a stubby, no indication of size on menu. It disappointed me greatly. I put great trust in small restaurants like this, sadly I was let down.

The food here was in large portions, authentic and delicious. Cheaper than most Carribean restaurants around.

One of the shining lights on Boscombe's rather inconsistent high street. Excellent tunes and big smiles greet you. It's an informal affair but the food is epic. We had chicken wings, friends plantain, jerk chicken and goat curry. Big portions and great flavours.

Took my children here today for the first time. We tried a few different things on the menu, and thoroughly enjoyed it all. In fact the children are asking when they can go back!Thanks to the lovely lady behind the counter too for being so helpful and friendly.

What a find. We had goat curry, jerk chicken, salt fish fritters, chicken patty, dumplings and greens...all piping hot and washed down with a cold Red Stripe. We'll be back soon

Love this place. Real Jamaican home cooking. The food is wonderful, staff great and the music is brilliant. Just a lovely place for lunch or an evening meal.

Myself and my boyfriend have been to Jerk Hut a few times now together and I have been with friends. We really can not fault the food. Its delicious, with big hearty portions. I can highly recommend the goat, sweet potato fries, rasta greens and plantain. My partner always has a chicken special and always loves it. Service is simple. You order at the till and pay and the serve your food once its ready. The restaurant is only small, and can get very busy. Dont be put off by the local area, this is a real little gem in boscombe !
