5 /5 Alison McDonald: Oh my word! Finally, real Jamaican flavours have arrived in Medway! I had a beef patty and the lunch time deal (a main, side and drink for £12.99) choosing oxtail, rice and peas and a normal soft drink. It was delicious!! Hands down the best rice and peas I think I’ve been able to find in Medway… even down to the colour and coconut creaminess.
I’ve found chefs tend to shy away from the real seasoning, especially spice, for the Medway palette but not here. Oxtail isn’t an overly spicy dish anyway but there should definitely be a warmth to it, and there very much is here. The depth of colour, thickness of gravy and level of seasoning is where it’s supposed to be. The meat is soft and succulent.
I could smell the jerk cooking from out on the street! The lady in Dockside best watch out, some competition has arrived! I can’t wait to try more!
PS. I totally should have taken a photo but I munched it too quick lol
