Natty's Jerk Chicken
Natty's Jerk
A local Caribbean restaurant that started as a market stall, known for slow-smoked, wood-fired Jamaican jerk chicken and named Uber Eats national Restaurant of the Year.
Founder Natty Crutchfield started out at a weekend market stall on Commercial Road. After a crowdfunding campaign in 2021, it opened a permanent restaurant opposite Portsmouth & Southsea station, followed by branches in Bournemouth and at Selfridges in London, and it was named Uber Eats national Restaurant of the Year. The signature is Jamaican jerk chicken, slow-cooked over wood at low heat and served with rice and peas, coleslaw and fried plantain. There is also jerk chicken topped chips and vegan curry. The interior is laid with sand and plays reggae, like a beach hut. Expect about £15–30 per person, and it's steps from the train station.
