I was thinking the other day about all the restaurants I’ve visited across Europe – what haven’t I eaten yet? I’ll admit I couldn’t think of anything, but coming up with something I hadn’t written about instead was a little easier. Caribbean cuisine was one of those foods which I’ve eaten my fair share of while growing up and happily get my jerk fix from the not so glamorous New Covent Garden Market – they have a sort of car boot/market on every Sunday and some of the food is fabulous (although not for the health & safety conscious). That said when I got asked to come down to Cottons in Camden, I couldn’t have been happier – especially considering the place has been here for 30 years. Surely they must be doing something right? Inside décor wise it has two very distinct areas – the very lovely looking part (above) which is hidden downstairs at the back next to the kitchen, and the other part which if I’m honest looks a little cold and bland – I think it’s those dark brown floor tiles which really don’t do it for me.
Cottons. Went there with wife and kids last Sunday. I'm originally from Sydney so not really a conneseuir of caribbean cuisine but I a darn well know what constitutes good food and this was clearly it. Seafood platter was absolutely delish. Very relaxed and ended staying the whole afternoon there. One of those special days out. Hope to be coming again for office do.
We had such a lovely night out with friends. The Crab and Lobster Mac and cheese was AMAZING! 🔥 everything we tried was delicious. My boyfriend thought the portions looked too small when we looked at pictures online, but then with a started and main it was more than enough.
I had a delicious vegan mutton(jackfruit) so flavoursome.

I'm always up for mixing things up and trying different twists on traditional things.
That's why I was pleased to try the new Sunday roast Caribbean style at @Cottons in Camden (they have multiple branches around London).
.
➕Interior is very authentic and cute, there is also live music.
I would recommend the Pork belly roast as it was cooked perfectly.
The jerk chicken was so well seasoned and flavoured, much better than your usual roast chicken 😌
.
➖The downside was the portion size which was on a smaller side, especially the portion of roast potatoes and vegetables. Yorkshire pudding was a bit soggy with the gravy already poured on top and we haven't received any extra gravy (but I guess you could ask for it).
Overall the meat was outstanding but the 'traditional' bits of roast were lacking a little bit.
.
➕However for the price of £18 it's a very cheap roast (average roast in London is £28-32).
So I'd guess money for value is pretty good and it's still something slightly different to try.
.
They offer pork belly, jerk chicken, lamb shank and vegan nut roast.

🍗WE TRIED:
Pork belly roast
Half jerk chicken roast
Guinness Punch 🍺
Rum Punch🍹
Went for bottomless brunch and was a great menu, didn't get our pudding but was quite full anyways! The guys bringing round the drinks were fab, literally couldn't fit anymore into the glass if they tried!
Rum punch personally was quite heavy and sickly but that's just personal preference. Good value for money.
I had a beautiful meal at Cotton's, the staff were welcoming and friendly. The food was amazing the cocktails were delicious. I will definitely be going back soon.
Went for bottomless brunch tropical in Camden.Was a great menu,will be great have few more options and dumpling was not good - so hard and next time eill be great if avocado is ready to eat. but was quite full anyways! !! And for all I am happy to come back ..

LOVE this place! The food was great cocktails are lush and the staff are all fab, makes a change to visit a restaurant and be able to relax and take time to chat, eat and drink without being rushed! Cant wait to go back 😍
Most recent visit we needed to be in and out in an hour for a gig. Greg was excellent making sure we were looked after. He and the rest of the team are charming.
The food is out of this world. Try everything!
And definitely have a rum cocktail or three.
Brilliant restaurant. Great for a meal before the Roundhouse.
Staff were very smiley, helpful and attentive! Food was delicious and great value: we had the jerk platter for two and happy hour cocktails as recommended. Lovely place, will come again for sure, when we next visit The Roundhouse!
Great atmosphere and food was really good. The waitresses were excellent and really added to the vibe of the venue. Cocktails were really good. The price very reasonable our bill came to around £50pp

Love Cottons in Camden, the atmosphere, music, friendly staff and of course always delicious food!
Went for brunch with a mate. Not many people when we arrived at first but the food was great and the rum punch 🍹🍹 Really enjoyed. Friendly staff. Value for money. We left fed and watered. Would go again with more people. The music was perfect for the environment/theme.
Loved this place :)
We booked the bottomless brunch (3 courses with either prosecco or rum punch). The staff were very friendly and happy to keep refilling our glasses. The food was delicious and it had a very chilled atmosphere, a great little place. I'd happily come back to try more food :)
Great food & cocktails in the heart of Camden..
Customer service was a pleasure..
5* Would recommend based on overall experience 👍🏼
Used to go here often ages ago. One of the best places in Camden for cocktails and music, and I remember people dancing to the DJ’s music out on the street! When I went a week ago, it felt quieter than I remember it - it may be a cost-of-living-crisis thing. But it still serves up nice cocktails and music.
Can’t comment on the food as I have never eaten here but it seems popular.
Random discovery but such a great place! Staff were very accommodating despite a busy evening and the food was plain delicious! We ordered a few starters and sides to share, for the 3 of us. Would absolutely recommend the prawns and my friends would not stop talking about how tasty the ribs were. Squid was fine, and the cinnamon mini donuts were a great finish. Will try their other locations for sure!
