Uncle Glenns Caribbean Restaurant in Bournemouth

El tío Glenn es brillante. Es absolutamente brillante. Gran reggae suave tocando un fondo, y el personal es la gente más encantadora que conocerás. Alex que dirige el tío Glenn (Glenn es en realidad su hijo, que a veces trabaja allí) es una mujer tan especial - tan pronto como la veas, sabes que te va a encantar aquí. Y luego está la comida. No podía elegir (como tan a menudo) entre curry de cabra y pollo patán. Tienen la respuesta perfecta, mitad a mitad. Gran cabra, gran pollo, y salsa fabulosa. A veces la salsa idiota puede hacerte pedazos, pero esta no. Nivel perfecto de picante y dulzor para mí (no me gusta caliente en estos días, pero apuesto a que lo calentarían para usted si lo pidiera). Mi comida vino con arroz, guisantes, plátano, ensalada de col y ensalada fresca. Perfecto. Y mucho. Fui a Bournemouth a ver perder al Man City. Pudo haber sido un día tan miserable. Pero el tío Glenn lo hizo feliz y memorable a pesar del resultado. Gracias Alex y equipo. ¡Nos vemos la próxima temporada!

Es mi primera vez en Bournemouth y encontré el restaurante en Uber eat. Era fácil de localizar con Google Maps. Los propietarios son muy acogedores, amables, acogedores y agradables. La comida era preciosa y sabrosa. Tenía arroz y guisantes con pollo. También probé los dumplings que eran encantadores. Sin duda volveré a visitarlo de nuevo.

Maravillosa cocina caribeña auténtica, muy justo precio y porciones decentes. El pollo idiota era excelente, voy a probar la cola de buey la próxima vez, ya que se veía y olía delicioso. Volveremos seguro.

Excelente relación calidad-precio y MUY MUY SABROSO. Personal amable y un menú apilado 😋 sin duda volveremos y recomiendo encarecidamente venir si quieres el auténtico sabor! ¡Gracias!

Estábamos alojados en el Premier Inn en Boscombe, así que revisé en Google Maps para ver si había algún lugar para comer cerca. Cuando vimos que había un restaurante caribeño a poca distancia fuimos de inmediato y reservamos una mesa para la noche siguiente. Esto probablemente no era necesario - la cena en el tío Glenns es muy casual, pero no queríamos perdernos, habiendo sido decepcionados una vez antes en un restaurante caribeño en Bristol que estaba lleno para los 2 días que estuvimos allí. El menú es jamaiquino. Ackee y pescado salado, curry de cabra, pollo patán, estofado de cola de buey, etc. La comida se sirve en una bandeja, pero a diferencia de los lugares de comida rápida se obtiene vajilla y cubiertos adecuados. Yo tenía pollo y mi esposa tenía curry de cabra, ambos excelentes con arroz y guisantes y una pequeña olla de ensalada de col. Yo también tenía un poco de plátano frito muy agradable. Mi esposa estaba complacida de que el curry tenía huesos (como debería ser! ). Tenía dos trozos de pollo muy sabroso y mientras comía el dueño salió con un trozo extra si lo quería - por supuesto que no iba a rechazarlo! Lavamos nuestra comida con una raya roja cada uno - tuvimos que pedir un vaso, pero no estamos acostumbrados a beber directamente de la lata. Después de comer un ponche de ron. Esto no era como el ponche de ron estilo Bajan al que estamos acostumbrados, era más picante, ¿tal vez tenía jengibre? Pero fue agradable y terminó la comida perfectamente. Mientras estábamos bebiendo la dueña salió con una muestra de su pastel de jengibre para que lo probáramos - agradable, sabroso y húmedo. El dueño y el personal eran muy amables, la comida era excelente y realmente disfrutamos de nuestra comida.

The food was amazing very well seasoned and the drinks were so refreshing and flavourful we will deffo be coming back🤗🤗

The staff were very friendly and made us feel welcome and the food was delicious. The curry goat was my favourite, but everything tasted great.

First time visiting this restaurant and just walking through the door was good enough. The smell of home cooked food was a good sign. Lovely lady served us a strong rum punch at £7.50 each while we looked at the menu. The combo was extremely good value for money curried goat, rice n peas. Coleslaw jerk chicken and plantain for £14. We also ordered fried dumplings £1 each and a delicious Mac and cheese £5.50 We were full but…because it was a birthday meal and we were given a huge slab of homemade cake with a candle on top…it would’ve been rude not to eat it! Totally recommend this place as an eat in or take away. Good food, good prices, lovely hosts.

I popped in for a quick lunch to go and I was pleasantly greeted and welcomed. The lady who served me gave me time to choose what I'd like and explained what some of the dishes on the menu were. There was a real vibe of Carribbean soul and passion for the food they create. I ordered a Mac n' cheese which was rich, creamy, perfectly seasoned and had a lovely crumbed cheese topping, very impressed. I also ordered a patty as a side which was lightly spiced with authentic seasoning, the pastry was thin and delicious. I was also given a free Carribbean inspired sponge cake made from plantain,which was perfectly cooked, wasn't stodgy and had those lovely Carribbean spices in. I have to say I will be coming back, I am pleasantly surprised by this absolute hidden gem. Thanks guys, see you soon!

The food was amazing, the service was so welcoming made us feel at home. My friend had their curry goat and he has changed his name and nationality

Delicious food cooked and served by a pleasant and accommodating lady cook. Myself and my daughter thoroughly enjoyed it. Loved listening to reggae tunes as I waited.

I travel around the country and always do my best to find a carribean place to eat. Uncle Glenn’s was a jewel to find. Friendly staff and great food. I had the curry goat and jerk chicken with rice and peas, plaintain and coleslaw. Wow, it was delicious and full of flavour! Certainly up there with some of the best I have had. Took away a portion of the curry goat and rice as it was sooo good. Will defo be back when I next in the area!

Really friendly staff, very welcoming. Lovely tasty flavoursome food. Spicy goat curry & creamy lush coleslaw. Recommend. Yum!

This my first time at Uncle Glenns Caribbean restaurant on Christchurch Road, Boscombe, which is still quite new. We chose the ultimate plate, as they recommended it and said it had all the best options. The meal had Jerk chicken, Curried Goat, Vegetable Curry, Macaroni Pie, Salad, Plantain, coleslaw, and their own gravy. The curry goat, which is a significant dish for Caribbean people, looked darker than I expected at first glance. However, it turned out to be rich and delicious, adding a lot to the whole meal. The jerk chicken was different from what I usually have, but it had a great taste and stayed moist. Along with the flavoursome veg curry, "purple" rice and peas, plantain, macaroni pie, salad and gravy the meal was a big feast for those with a big appetite. If you a looking for a family feast and to try a range of Caribbean food that will simply delight then I cannot recommend Uncle Glenns Caribbean. My recommendation would be order as a takeaway via the usual channels or even collect. Take home spread it on the table and you will simply NOT be disappointed. If you find yourself in Bournemouth do not even think about the options other than Uncle Glenns it will be memorable. Alex was on top form and made the whole interaction so smooth and welcoming.

I really enjoyed my meal here! The staff were really warm, friendly and helpful. I had jerk chicken which was delicious and the rice was just the right balance of spicy for me. I also tried the plantain which was so nice, I’d recommend trying it if you haven’t before! I’d recommend this restaurant for a casual bite and great Carribean food.

Fantastic food, full of flavour highly recommended. The real Carribean experience. The owner and host was very friendly, nothing was too much trouble. Make sure you try this place.

The food and staff were fantastic. If you are looking for a swanky restaurant, this is not the place for you. If like me, you prefer good quality home cooked food that tastes great then this is a must go to place. The seating and area is rustic, the food comes out in a foil tray and it has disposable cutlery, for me that made it even better. If that's not your idea of a nice meal I would recommend trying the food as a takeaway, I doubt you will disappointed. A must try is mamma's pepper sauce, I had a bit then purchased a jar. A quick shout out to the owner here, it was lovely spending a little time talking to you after my meal. I hope you and your staff all the best in your health and business. Thanks for a great meal

The owners or staff are really hospitable. The young lady cooking and serving was really professional and efficient. With a smile too which helps. I'd never had goat before and it was really delicious. Goat's kind of like a tender, gamey mutton. The flavours in the curry were very nice indeed. I've a large appetite and found it filling so the portion sizes are generous. It's great value. A bonus was being able to walk in about 15:00 on a Friday and get food. Lots of places stop serving food at 14:00 or 14:30. I don't know whether Glenn's is usually serving at this time or if I was lucky. Just finishing off my meal with a rum fruit punch which is delicious and I think it's homemade. It's seven quid, so one of the pricier options but it is very good. It tastes stronger and nicer than a standard chain pub cocktail so when you think of it in those terms, again it's good value. Overall, this is an excellent quality, authentic, and informal eatery. Well worth the money and next time I'm back in Bournemouth I'll return. It's a shame that back in Southampton the food scene is a lot less interesting than in Bournemouth.

It was my first experience eating Caribbean food, and I could not have a better introduction to it. Food was lovely and the service brilliant. Definitely recommend and I will be back! Keep the great service and yum food!
