  “Dining in, Jerk Chicken, chips and veg or rice and peas, I chose the chips.The little container of side veg was just about adequate, it kept my dear departed mother from complaining about my lack of veg. The chips were plentiful and excellent, the best I have tried for years. As for the jerk chicken, it was delicious, whatever the secret sauce, it is truly superb. My only reservation is that it was my last night and I really would like to try the jerk salmon and perhaps the jerk chicken off the bone at £2 extra would have been a good choice also. Although I rarely drink lager, the Jamaican Red Stripe larger beer was a perfect accompaniment during the hot summer night.”

  “Had a takeaway curry goat from here one day and it was so good we decided to eat in the next day. Then my girlfriend had jerk salmon and I had Guyanese Pepper Pot which was really excellent. The rum punch was great too! Would highly recommend. They do deliveries too”

  “I’ll start by saying the food isn’t bad, but it’s not what I’d call traditional/authentic in flavour. (For some) If you’re ordering ackee & saltfish, don’t expect the classic flavour profile. This feels more like a house-style version with added spice, so if you’re used to traditional Jamaican cooking, it might not hit the same. The curry goat is nice and probably the closest thing to authentic flavour on the menu. Some pieces are tender and fall off the bone, but others were a bit chewy with more fat than I’d personally prefer. That’s just my preference though, it’s still enjoyable overall. Rice & peas was good. Mac & cheese was nice. Jerk chicken was the standout for me, definitely the best thing I had. Plantain was good as expected. The dumplings were disappointing, quite chewy and seemed like they’d been sitting for a while. I got 3, One of mine was so hard I had to throw half of it away. For £2 each, I expected better quality and a slightly bigger portion. The banana cake wasn’t for me. It was very dense and had an overpowering cinnamon taste, which took away from the banana flavour. Great for cinnamon lovers. Again my taste profile when comparing to homemade London/Birmingham/Northampton authentic places. Overall I would try again not the Ackee and salt fish though.”

  “Just had one of the best Caribbean meals ever at Uncle Glen’s in Bournemouth 🔥🇯🇲 The jerk chicken was absolutely unreal perfectly seasoned, smoky, and packed with flavour. You can tell it’s been cooked with real care and authenticity. And the curry goat… wow. Tender, rich, and full of deep, warming spices easily one of the best I’ve ever had. Portion sizes were generous, everything tasted fresh, and the whole experience just hit the spot. If you’re anywhere near Bournemouth and craving proper Caribbean food, this place is a MUST. 10/10 will definitely be back 🙌”

  “This is a little gem! The food was absolutely delicious, it was incredible value (the box in the pic was £20 and I couldn’t finish it). The jerk was superb as was the goat curry. The staff were fantastic including the owner (I presume) who was incredibly friendly and I will most definitely be back!”

  “I always have such a great experience at Uncle Glenn’s. As someone who loves Caribbean food, I really struggled to find somewhere authentic after moving out of London - until I found this spot. The food is consistently delicious, the restaurant has a genuinely authentic vibe, and the prices are very reasonable. My go-to dishes are the curried goat or the jerk chicken with mac and cheese. Honestly 10/10 - I’d highly recommend.”

  “Incredible experience at uncle Glenn’s, had the jerk chicken with rice and peas and plantain… it slapped! Traditional home cooked, perfect balance of flavours and generous portions for a fair price. Lovely host who owns the place, warm and welcoming.”
