Used to be amazing never there anymore? Everytime driving past doesn't seem to be in his place. Disappointing considering quality of food and always a guessing game to when he's actually there!
A heads up for anyone like me who’s seen the amazing reviews and thought to try - drove down today no van in sight called the listed number but no response. Asked local mechanic said it’s been closed for a while now but no indication of this online. Advice from me may be worth skipping out on the full journey here before confirming if they are about.
You see people lining up in the rain driving past and you wonder why.... but once you have tasted the food you find yourself in that very same line... 10/10 the curry beef with rice and please is amazing along with the jerk chicken you can taste the smoke ❤️ FYI CASH ONLY
Amazing food, full of flavour, friendly staff and reasonably priced
