Colin was extremely friendly and professional. Good waitress and apologies if I haven’t remembered her name but I think it was Christine, who laid the table and it looked immaculate, thank you. Overall really happy. Kitchen was left spotless after service.

We booked Jerk Shack for a Christmas party event for our elderly residents. We requested a traditional Christmas meal and Jerk Shack managed to cater to our exact needs. The food was amazing, they did such a good job. Our residents were extremely pleased with the food. Would definitely recommend jerk shack and will definitely be using them again. Thank you Jerk Shack Salma

Thank you Riad, we had an excellent evening. The food was amazing, I’d recommend the cod & crab fishcake starter, actually I’d recommend everything. 2 weeks before our evening I had a good chat with our chef, Riad, he very quickly understood exactly what I was after & had perfect suggestions, so my menu was perfect for me & my guests, giving us a choice of 2 starters, 2 mains & 2 puds. I would definitely use Zach Jaxon event…
