About Caribbean Jerk Catering & Takeaway
Caribbean Restaurant in Northampton
Caribbean Jerk Catering & Takeaway in Northampton is a small, no-frills spot. The atmosphere is casual and friendly; think more takeout counter than fine dining restaurant. Based on online photos, the space is simple but clean, focusing more on the food than elaborate decor. There are a few tables for eat-in customers, but it’s clearly geared towards takeaway orders.
The menu boasts a range of Jamaican favorites. They have jerk chicken (naturally!), curries, and rice and peas. One photo shows a perfectly plated jerk chicken dish, glistening with spices and accompanied by vibrant sides. I'd definitely recommend trying their jerk chicken—it's a classic for a reason—and maybe branching out to sample their curry, judging by the positive review mentioning its tender meat and well-balanced spices.
What makes Caribbean Jerk Catering & Takeaway special is its authenticity and the evident passion of the chef. While the service can be inconsistent, as some reviews highlight, the food itself seems to shine through for many customers. This place is perfect for a quick, casual meal, especially if you're craving genuinely flavorful Jamaican food. It's not a fancy date-night spot, but ideal for grabbing takeout after work or a relaxed lunch with friends.

Where does one start? Ordered at 7:30pm for 8:30 collection. I arrived at 8:40, staff had no clue to what I ordered and where the order came from. Food was cold. The rice and peas was most certainly off (spoilt) had the smell and taste. Portion sizes are great tho and the price is good. My chicken curry was nice but the rice for sure had been made days before and left out in the open. Has not been 6hours yet and I’m already bound to the toilet seat.
We are complete newbies to Jamaican cuisine so we decided to try a variety dishes. The owner /chef was really helpful with choosing and we didnt have to wait long. We weren't disappointed ! All the meats were deliciously tender and the curry and jerk spices were on the nail, with just the right amount of heat. If you do want to eat-in be warned the seating is limited, so best check first.
Very delicious food. Authentic and made with love .
Took 2 hours to arrive - food was cold. Don’t expect to have to warm food up. 3 stars for the Jerk chicken. What little meat was tasty but mainly bones. Curry chicken was mainly bones - greasy and watery and was binned. Rice and peas was bland. Portion sizes for large are measly. First time ordering, so disappointed and won’t be ordering again. Overpriced - £32 wasted.
Been here a few times, always a lovely experience. Staff are always very nice and polite. Best Caribbean food I’ve had in Northampton by far, each time I’ve been the food taste like it’s made with love. Highly recommend the oxtail and brown stew chicken, loads of flavour, good moisture and succulent. Great portions too and decently priced. Will definitely be coming again.
