Located on Exeter Road in Bournemouth's Hilton Hotel, Natty's Jerk Kitchen & Rum Bar brings authentic Caribbean vibes and flavours to the South Coast. This family-run establishment has been serving up modern twists on Jamaican cuisine since 2017, earning recognition as Uber Eats' Restaurant of the Year 2024.
The vibrant interior pulses with reggae beats and bright decor, creating an atmosphere that transports guests straight to the islands. With an open kitchen, rum bar serving creative cocktails, and regular DJ nights, Natty's delivers more than just a meal - it's a complete Caribbean food experience.
The menu showcases bold Caribbean classics with signature dishes like jerk chicken, where boneless skin-on chicken legs are marinated for a minimum of 48 hours before being smoked on a traditional jerk pan. The beloved curry goat features bone-in meat slow-cooked in traditional Jamaican curry spices with carrots and potatoes. For plant-based diners, the jerk jackfruit offers the same smoky, spiced experience served with rice and peas, tamarind glazed plantain, and Caribbean-inspired cucumber salad.
Beyond the mains, the menu includes tempting sides like coconut jerk pan corn, jamaican fried dumplings, and Natty's seasoned fries. Sweet potato fries add another layer of Caribbean flair, while the mac and cheezus provides comfort food with a twist. For a unique experience, try the jerk pon fries, where your choice of protein is piled high on seasoned fries and dressed with natty's signature sauces. They even offer a Caribbean-inspired Sunday roast featuring jerk roasted chicken with Yorkshire pudding and jerk gravy.
The restaurant also caters for private events and group bookings, making it perfect for celebrations. The community-led restaurant prides itself on sharing the tastes, stories, and culture of the Caribbean with everyone who walks through their doors.
