About Calabash Hut

Caribbean Restaurant in Northampton

Calabash Hut in Northampton is a charming little spot, tucked away and radiating warmth. The atmosphere is casual and friendly; it feels more like stepping into someone's welcoming home than a restaurant. Online photos show a bright, clean space, suggesting a family-run operation—and the reviews confirm that feeling.

Their menu focuses on authentic Jamaican cuisine, with dishes like curry goat, rice and peas, dumplings, and jerk wings. One photo shows a perfectly plated portion of curry goat, the meat looking incredibly tender. Reviews rave about the generous portions and the delicious rice and peas. I'd definitely recommend trying the curry goat—and maybe some of those huge festivals!

Calabash Hut is perfect for anyone craving genuine Caribbean food and a welcoming, homey environment. It's ideal for a casual weeknight dinner or a weekend lunch, especially if you want a friendly, personal experience. The positive reviews about the owner highlight the personal touch that sets this place apart from larger chains.

Travelled up from Kent and met this amazing lady (owner)and bought a couple of meals - wow she runs tings when it comes to her curry goat and rice - excellent quality of food - extremely generous portions Very friendly very helpful, I most definitely without question highly recommend this little gem of a find to anyone who loves good authentic Caribbean food Shame I live so far away but I’m definitely going to her when I’m next in Northampton Please support this wonderful lady’s business

Stopped here whilst visiting Northampton from Cambridge and discovered this fantastic place. The rice and peas was DELICIOUS and the curry goat had alot of tender well seasoned meat. The dumplings were fluffy and golden and the festivals are HUGE! The jerk wings had authentic flavours but was a litte bit dry (more sauce next time please 😊) The service has left a lasting impression on me, the owner Lance is such a sweet soul, he's delightful and very hospitable. It really felt like I was visiting family as I ate my food and chatted away with him about Jamaica 🇯🇲 Overall a wonderful experience and HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for authentic Jamaican food. 5 Stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Ordered for the first time...Excellent service and wonderful food! This will be my regular from now on. Keep up the good work...A+++++

5 stars all around for Calabash Hut. My favourite Caribbean. I’ve tried other places and the quality don’t compare. I also love their homemade carrot juice (with rum). The owners are very sweet people who make you feel welcome. Great place run by great people. 😊

-The prices: not sure how fair they are (will definitely come again to try more). The pamphlet is outdated apparently. Ie. My patty was supposed to be £3, it was £3.50. Work on getting those prices updated everywhere. -Chicken patty I bought tasted phenmenal! Never had something like that. Like a spicy, chicken pastry type -Good selection of food. Africans will be happy to try here -Lady at the counter was nice, gave me time to choose and didn't rush. Food came quick.
