Yeahman in Bournemouth

El agradable personal del restaurante era muy servicial. La comida estaba muy bien preparada y, por su excelente relación calidad-precio, el restaurante estaba limpio. La comida estaba preparada en frente de usted. Realmente recomendaría esta joya de lugar.

Lovely place good food and good service.....everything's better with Bob Marley playing in the background

El pollo y la salsa Jerk sabían exactamente como la comida en la que crecí. Se puede decir por el sabor que el pollo estaba bien sazonado y luego cocinado a la perfección. A mi esposa le encantó el plátano, es muy raro que se cocinen tan bien en los restaurantes. Bien hecho a la comida maravillosa propietario.

El servicio y la comida era genial. Todos disfrutaron mucho su comida. Muy bien decorado también. Es una recomendación de mi parte. Sin embargo, todos encontramos frío allí, ¡creo que la calefacción estaba rota!

El sabor auténtico de Jamaica en Bournemouth, bien vale la pena visitarlo, es un poco pequeño, así que sugiero reservar, el servicio al cliente es ejemplar.

Came here shortly before closing, extra friendly service from all members of staff felt very welcome. Ordered takeaway and it was brilliant. Very flavoursome, good portion sizes, will be coming back

The smokey Jerk chicken, dumplings dipped in the Goat curry. Mind blowing, proper hearty food. Defo going again

Wanted something different and intimate and this fitted the bill. The service was very good and efficient and the Goat Curry was delicious. The food is genuine Authentic Jamaican cuisine and I would recommend it as great lace to eat.

Went here with my other half for her birthday meal. This has the best curry goat and jerk wings I've had outside of Jamaica and home. This is no exaggeration don't just take my word for it though go here for yourself. The owner is a very nice and hospitable guy too who always had a smile on his face. I feel sorry for people who go to Turtle Bay with no Idea that this amazing and authentic place is just up the road.

Visited Bournemouth last month and another guest at the hotel we stayed in recommended the restaurant. We were definitely not disappointed. Coming from the Caribbean ourselves it’s always important that a Caribbean restaurant has real authentic flavours and Yeah Man has it spot on! The staff are friendly, the venue is child friendly and reasonably priced and portions are generous. We visited again yesterday and once again had the same experience. Will definitely be back!

Looking for a cosy but lively Jamaican restaurant then look no further than Yeahmann. Great authentic cuisine, friendly attentive staff,fabulous value for money. Spent a great time there with three other ladies and would definitely eat there again when next in Bournemouth.

Myself and my partner passed this restaurant/Bar on the way to booking into our hotel and I fell in love with the place as soon as I set my eyes on it and said we must try this and so pleased we did. Fantastic Host, South London Boy, had a lot to chat about days gone by, great staff, waitress and chef and excellent food, atmoshphere and music and would highly recommend it to all seeking a true caribbean shack experience and forget your in England for a few hours, yeahman you are in the Caribbean. Many thanks to all who made this a memorable night and we will definately be returning on our next visit to Bournemouth. 5 stars to this tardis on a road Island, that will surprise you how big the inside is once you take the first curiosity step inside the door.

Fantastic afternoon, great atmosphere with great food and a very good host. Would recommend the Big V salad which was delicious .

Went to this restaurant with my husband last Saturday. Delicious food cannot fault the flavour very authentic just like Food we have at home with family. I just wish Mac and Cheese was on the menu!! The decor was lovely just like a shack style. Whole restaurant was just plain cute with an outdoor area that can be used. Hosts are very polite, welcoming warm and acknowledged issues with the service and were apologetic. Which is very encouraging however ........ Our sides came much later than the main meal ....others were in the restaurant before we arrived and annoyed that their food was taking too long (and were a bit envious that our food had come before theirs which was awkward for us) on the plus side every item was in stock in menu Not sure what are the reasons for these issues could be that better organisation is needed in the kitchen ( including technology to assist with planning) or better communication between kitchen and front of house but they do need to be addressed to ensure a good and consistent experience and boost the review scores. I would go back if I was in town 100 per cent and therefore want the restaurant to be a sucess but just hope these issues are addressed so that the experience speed/timing is a bit better.

I was there on 25th July. Just as the restaurant was about to close, I went there. I ask the gentleman who was sweeping the floor, are they closing? He said yes, however he invited me to come in. I thought, it was nice of him, and I will dine in. I asked him what time they close? He said, 10.00pm, checked the time and it was 10.00 pm. I sat, and he said they are closing and will do a take away. And I say fine, I will take away. It was Jerk Chicken with rice. I did tell him I will write a review on the food and I do have Jamaican friends. I asked him how much the bill was, as I took a 10.00 pound out. He said that was enough and I asked him for the bill. I did not get one. Been polite I left. The food was the last leftover of the night and it was terrible. It is a great insult for the Jamaican Jerk chicken and rice. I feel I should not even give the one star. I will give the 10.00 pound as a charity to him. I will not ever step into a Jamaican Restaurant.

Had amazing food here when it first opened, I believe the original chef has left. Now nowhere near the standard it was previously, a shame as Bournemouth needs a good, authentic Caribbean restaurant that isn't overpriced!

I have never left a review on Tripadvisor before, but I feel that our experience was so bad that it warranted a review to save others the disappointment.

We popped in for a quick bite of early lunch on Saturday and we were warmly welcomed. We both had a wrap, one chicken and one halloumi and they were perfect. The side order of sweet potato fries were the best I've ever had! Although I spotted the potato waffles going past and had a bit of plate envy. I could only eat half of my wrap and a take-away bag was offered without me having to ask. We will definitely be back. Friendly, great food and great value - what more could you want?

This little place is in a sort of traffic island between three roads on Poole Hill, close to The Triangle centre in Bournemouth. OK, so some people point out that the space was once occupied by public loos, but that was years ago and this little restaurant is a great venue for a super meal. Its done up in sort of a Caribbean version of a Roadhouse and the first thing that hits you is the lovely smell of wood from the real wood fire they use to cook the Jerk Chicken.

My partner and I are locals in Bournemouth and like to try out new places. This worthy find is slightly out of the main town centre but still within walking distance. The restaurant has a laid back vibe with authentic decor and music. Service was great and so was the food, I opted for the coconut chicken which can definitely be recommended.

Pleasantly surprised to find this little gem in Bournemouth. We were visiting from the Midlands and decided to eat out. A quirky petite place with beautiful cooked authentic Caribbean food (nuff food too). Highly recommend and we shall be back for more when in Bournemouth next time. Big up to the Chef.

fantastic food, great service, ended up visiting two nights in a row after getting food envy on night 1! cant wait to return and try the rest of the menu. also excellent value for money

Walking inside this little restaurant was like walking into a different world, a chilled Caribbean style atmosphere with décor to match. The menu had a good selection of dishes including goat curry, rice and beans, avocado salad etc. We plumped for the chicken curry which was cooked exactly the way we requested, not too spicy and very tender chicken, the plantain was excellent. Yes, we will definitely return, good food, good price and a pleasant atmosphere.

Went with a friend for some lunch, the service was pretty poor. Sauce was rather bland with the jerk chicken, also chicken was very tough, I struggled with my knife, couldn’t tell if it was bone or flesh. Maybe reheated or poor food handling. Restaurant smelt like toilet cleaning materials, not very pleasant. Won’t be returning.

This has recently changed hands, what was once a great restaurant is sadly no more. Service was poor and slow, Food was not hot in the middle and side dishes were missed. Sorry to leave a poor review, but this wasn't good enough.

Walked in off the street (not literally). Long day and love Jamaican food even though isn’t part of my normal culture. had THE best time. Casual Wednesday night, buzzing music and atmosphere, massive portions and amazing crew with Anya and chef and owner even serving drinks. Awesomeness and now each visit to Bournemouth with work, this is my local! Quick food service and can’t do enough to please you. Love you guys xxxx

Amazing food and amazing service. The team were super friendly and proper taste of the Caribbean 👌👌

The food was nothing special but when the stuff/cleaner come over too me and my boyfriend I couldnt believe are eyes. She was giving us dirty looks and when we kissed she laughed at us I went inside too talk too the manager and they said they will tell her not too clean around us.

Very rude cleaner swearing at kids( my own ). Need more staff and need to improve on food which was very horrible and the place smelt like toilets and that cleaner we had very rude and smelt horrible (fair play helping the homeless but make them be clean and kind toward clients) . She had a stinking attitude like the smell. The food isn’t Carribean more like dog .

I have never experienced anything like this as a paying customer

I don't like writing negative reviews but have to on this occasion. The first disappointment came when we were told they were out of salt fish and goat. I see from other reviews this has happened, but to not have Caribbean signature dishes at 8pm on a Saturday is not gd. I also see there are quite a few gd reviews on here which surprised me as what we did get was not gd Caribbean food. My main was just non-descript. It was supposed to have Scotch bonnet sauce but there was no kick to it. There was little flavour to the rice - no fresh herbs, probably over-microwaved. The veg patty was mostly dough and flavourless (they'd run out of meat patties). Other negatives wd be the temperature (too cold for me and another in our party had to put his coat on) and the fact that there was a weekend special menu which we weren't told about but discovered after we'd ordered - I'd"ve ordered the pork loin if we'd been told about it. On the positive side, it was inexpensive, the waitress was friendly and the coleslaw was nice. The Grill Shack in Southbourne is a lot better. I don't think I'll come back here.

Wonderful Caribbean food. I had the curried chicken, despite being really interested in the goat, because goat is occasionally stringy and tough, and I just wasn't up for challenging food at that particular moment. The curried chicken was delicious; spicy, rich, really interesting flavors. My wife, however, went for the goat, and after I tasted it I wished I'd ordered it, because it was excellent. Not tough at all; cooked to perfection. These people really know how to cook. Good prices, too.

Found this place on tripadvisor and gave it a whirl. It is a small restaurant with friendly staff. The food was excellent with jerk chicken being spicy and full of flavour and the brown stew was also fantastic. All topped with some lovely wine the bill was a great surprise being so low for great food.

Out in Bournemouth with friends ahead of a concert and was hit by the most amazing smell of BBQ food as we walked down the hill. Greeted enthusiastically by both the owner and her staff.

Cannot rate this place highly enough. It's a small little gem just outside the shopping centre. Food is freshly cooked in front of you. Excellent portion sizes. And reasonably priced. They do lunch time deals and also deliver. Staff are amazing friendly funny and relaxed. Really good vibe, well worth a visit

Jerk chicken with jerk gravy was absolutely lovely. The wrap was quite nice. The Rasta greens far too oily for us and flavourless so we didn’t eat them and the rice and peas were so, so dry, my homemade version was much nicer. We enjoyed our meal here overall and staff were friendly. Just an improvement on the side dishes and it would be top notch.

Just had a wonderful time and really nice individually cooked food. Very reasonable prices and chef barbecueing in view genuine Caribbean Jamaican recipes. Waitress very efficiently helpful.

Want a little feel of the Caribbean then you must visit here. Great vibe and food is fab and great value just visiting for the 4th time and will not be the last.

We really enjoyed our food, jerk chicken with gravy was delicious as were all the sides including plantain, avocado salad and home made slaw too. Service was fast and friendly, and the surroundings made us feel like we were on holiday... in Jamaica? No Iceland! It was so cold I didn’t take my warm coat off, my friends did and they were shivering. We gave up after our food and went across the road for coffee to warm up! Such a shame. I will return but not until the weather is warmer - or they invest in some heaters.

Visited many times, never disappointed. Best jerk chicken we have had outside Jamaica. Friendly service from Francesca and team. Looking forward to a return visit.

Popped in during my lunch hour for what I hoped would be a quick and delicious lunch. Only one other customer and 3 delivroo type men standing around, more than 6 more deliveroo types came in during our visit. Ordered salt fish and ackee and a jerk chicken leg with rice n peas as well as sweet potato fries and some plantain. Firstly, my main grievance is that it took 40 minutes to arrive. I had just a few minutes to eat before having to walk back to work. With one other customer sitting down, I can only assume that the chef cooked all 10 deliveroo order before ours.

Having visited Yeah Man 6 months ago, coming back to bournemouth this weekend, Yeah Man was the obviously 'go back to' choice.

We have been a few times now and we cant believe the great value for money you get eating here. Huge portions of really good, authentic Caribbean food. The chicken wings are an absolute must as is the quarter or half chicken, curried goat and chicken wraps. Would recommend for value, atmosphere and fun. 1 star deducted for it being really cold in there. We will be making this place a regular family favourite.

I visited with three friends a couple of weeks ago, we were the only people in the restaurant but the atmosphere was still very authentic and Jamaican thanks to the well dressed walls and music...and rum punch! I had an amazing pulled chicken wrap with halloumi and sweet potato fries. Food was a generous portion and tasted amazing! Price was surprisingly reasonable too! Will stop by here for lunch again.

Small restaurant on Poole hill. Decorated like a Jamaican shack. I suggest booking as restaurant is small gets full quickly. The best thing about this restaurant is the food, authentic Caribbean dishes from salt fish to curried goat & the dumplings to die for. We've visited this restaurant on a number of occasions & the food has always been top drawer.i suggest you stay away from the big chains like turtle bay & try this little gem. You won't be disappointed

We found Yeahman accidently so booked a table later that evening. When we arrived it had a good vibe and an intimate atmosphere. It seats around 30 people so the staff service was brilliant.

Was really looking forward to eating here, had read the reviews but sadly was disappointed. We ordered curried goat which didn't have enough gravy, chicken curry which was way too salty, a microwaved warmed up dumpling which became drier after each bite and a half filled beef pattie. The Rum punch was ok needed more rum though...

Visited here and was the only one in the venue throughout my meal which was concerning, the chicken brown stew was nice in the sauce but chicken very tough.

Decent food, the main didn't blow us away this time - but the sides were really tasty; dumplings, greens, and plantain. As ever the music was a little too loud. The lady who served us was lovely, the surly teenage girl who served us wasn't.

Been twice now and just can’t resist that curried goat. All my friends who’ve been live this place too. Delicious food. Cool vibe. Not much to complain about really. Yeah man!

Amazing service, delicious traditional Jamaican cuisine, fantastic music and lovely atmosphere. What more can you ask for :)

This is the second time I have eaten at Yeahmans, the first time I ordered it as a takeaway. The first time I order lots of different items to see which ones I liked best. The chicken legs, rasta green and coleslaw I liked the best. This time I went into the restaurant. Awesome décor and friendly fun staff. I had a chicken leg with coleslaw and the meat was so beautiful it just fell off the bone and the crispy skin is life changing! Put that with the coleslaw and I was in heaven! Will make this a regular :)

The food was fresh and tasty excellent value for money, I had jerk chicken and Rasta greens with a hot pepper sauce, friends had the goat curry. Nothing was to much trouble really enjoyable evening

Food: I'm an African girl working away from home and living in a hotel for 6 weeks, so I was craving some Afro/Caribbean spice and thought I'd check this place out. I was delighted to see the seabass on the menu stuffed with familiar ingredients; garlic, scotch bonnet, thyme, peppers, spinach and scallion. My food arrived and I was surprised to find that those lovely ingredients were replaced by underdone carrots, sliced onions and kale (only). The fish was tasteless, even to the extent of lacking salt.

Came to Bournemouth for my boyfriends 30th, first night looked around and thought we would try 'Yeahman'. Can say it was NOT a disappointment. My partner said the chicken (half chicken) was spicy but the chicken just melted in his mouth. I, myself had the island wrap which was beautiful. Lovely service from a lady named Theresa who looked after us, will definitely be back in the future when in Bournemouth again :)

We have visited this restaurant on a couple of occasions now. The food is fantastic, true traditional Caribbean cuisine cooked to perfection served with a smile. I love everything about this place. One small downside is the restaurant is small, I would advise to book or there's a big possibility you won't get a seat. Leave Turtle Bay alone the food here is far better

We booked a table and would definitely recommend doing this as its really popular. We got a warm welcome into a lovely Caribbean style restaurant. The decor was great as was the music. Service was excellent and the food arrived really quickly. I had chicken wings to start which had a lot of flavour. Main course was curried goat with rice and peas. The food was delicious.

Came here to avoid chain restaurants and we were again really pleased we did. Sweet chilli chicken and the Jerk out bbq chicken were outstanding!

Visited here with a small group of friends to celebrate a birthday. I'd never been before and was really excited about trying it out. It's only a small place but we had pre-booked so we're seated straight away. Nicely decorated and a chilled out atmosphere. The service was great, very attentive staff and all super friendly. I ordered the chicken wrap and waffle fries and it was awesome! Some of the others had the goat curry, brow stew and half chicken. It was all amazing, so tasty and decent size portions! Price was pretty good even with a few rum & cokes on the bill Fab night would definitely like to go again soon and would highly recommend anyone to visit!

Amidst the grottle trap of Bournemouth, it is refreshing to find a small independent, interestingly different eatery. The menu is small but with enough variety to suit most tastes. Staff are friendly and the food delicious - Well worth a visit!

Gorgeous food that was piping hot and very reasonably priced. Quirky restaurant with friendly staff and will definitely be going back.

When we visited which was early evening there were a few tabkles busy bear in kmind this is a small place but they were already out of a few items & drinks. It is quite expensive for what it is compared to other similar restaurants.
