There is a park baby park, kids park and Astroturf football pitch. It's all newly rebuilt and has a dynamic welcoming atmosphere!

“ WOW I got the jerk chicken, rice, and coleslaw. I had the gal pick my meal and it turned out to be some of the best food I've ever had. It was flavorful and had the perfect amount of spice. The serving size was huge and it was only £10- cheap by London standards. The atmosphere is so chill. It's run by a family and I felt incredibly welcome. They are warm people. No doubt I'll be back! ”
