“A huge thank you to Dougie for making such an important day that bit easier. The food was absolutely out of this world — genuinely some of the best food we’ve ever had in a long time. The goat curry & fried chicken in particular was honestly the best I’ve ever tasted! You really pulled out the stops to put on an amazing spread for my guests It wasn’t just the incredible food that made such a difference. We really appreciated you being there on the day, serving everyone and making sure everything ran smoothly. With everything else going on, it was such a comfort knowing the catering was in such good hands & my guests were looked after. Thanks guys. See you soon!”

“Never tried brown stew chicken - it’s now a firm favourite Thank you to Doug and his family opening up in Gloucester From the food to the friendless and the cleanliness we will be returning to Doug’s cafe and Jamaican cuisine see yah soon :)”

“Was desperate for some Carribbean food and tonight was the first night we were able to order, came across Doug's online and swing by after a day exploring! Grabbed a combo box, Ackee Saltfish and Plantains. Everything was excellent, as good as my favourite spot in Birmingham ever was and Doug is a gent, we had a good chat despite being in a bit of a rush! Highly recommended. Maybe check Deliveroo or other ordering apps to see what's available as it's easier than going through the options in store but best to still order direct!”
