Also known as Cottons Rum Shack, this place has so many varieties of rum it's obscene- counted over 100! Friendly staff and huge helpings of food make mealtimes a treat, though that much plaintain will make you roll onto the street rather than walk! Love the helpful glossary that explains what everything is as well!

I've always seen the front of this place and been intrigued by the whole rum shack theme. This week I popped in to sample the food, and some of the 295 rums they have on offer! The bar in the front is a cute little space with the hundreds of glistening bottles tempting you away from the old school navy rum to a world of delights.
The rum menu is split by country and it's hard to know where to start, but great fun to read through the history and take a few random picks - any more and I'd not have stopped for food.
The food menu is equally as exciting to those uninitiated in caribbean food - they even provide a glossary for novices like myself. As you'd expect there is plenty of meat, the good old goats curry and crispy duck but a good choice for veggies too.
The atmosphere was cute and cosy - it really feels like a great find and I'll certianly be paying another trip, for food and more rum!
