Jars Bar - (Near Lewisham, South East)

Oliver Yung Ever so often, one craves that hearty, honest meal and for me, that’s Chaconia, a Trinidadian restaurant at the heart of Deptford. The simple and clean store front veils the rich and exciting flavours that belie. I ordered the chicken curry and rice and was persuasively nudged by a fellow diner to try the goat curry instead; fortunately, the most generous proprietress indulged my gustatory fancies and offered me a small side of that. It was a plate of absolute joy - both curries had distinct flavours and the meats were perfectly stewed, retaining their structure while being succulent to the bite. The rice was well flavoured and was the perfect accompaniment to those rich curries. At £5, this was an absolute steal. I’ll be back.

Dan R Good range of beers available, and a lovely space in an old arch. Arch = good beer. Bonus points for having a black IPA on. A smallish fridge with reasonably priced cans to take away as well. There’s a QR code for ordering food to as well from a local business. I presume bringing your own would also be fine.

Chi Man Chan ​If youre in Deptford, you absolutely have to try this place! My first experience with Caribbean food at this restaurant was incredibly impressive. The Food: Authentic & Great Value I tried the Oxtail and Curry Goat for the first time, and both were outstanding. The flavors were deep and perfectly soaked into the meat, which had a great texture—tender but still with a satisfying "bite." Everything felt very fresh and clean, and the portions offered amazing value for money. ​Atmosphere & Service: Friendly & Professional The staff were very friendly and patient, making me feel welcome as a first-timer. I also noticed that the kitchen was very clean and organized, which is always reassuring. Even on a Tuesday afternoon, there were many young locals waiting for their food, which gave me the confidence that this is a true neighborhood favorite. Coming to Deptford, you must try the famous Caribbean cuisine, and I truly believe the food here is as authentic as it gets—just like in Jamaica. Highly recommended!

May Myanmar Very nice local restaurant in New Cross, went for Thursday evening (only day they are open for dinner) when they have a dinner menu. Shared plates, we had almost all the mains except beef carpaccio as was sold out by then. Would definitely recommend, service was efficient and staff were lovely. Our favourites: the bread and dips, cherry salad (excellent), Moroccan fish and glazed duck breast salad! We wish the fresh bread was slightly bigger though to mop up all the dips! Definitely will be back to try their breakfast/brunch!
