When we started out in 2017, we were cheffing up from the courtesy of our home in Portsmouth. It was all great fun and games until customers started showing up to our house for food collections… From there, we took a leap of faith, and a few box meals later, we had our very own market stall on Commercial Road. This was big for us. It was the first time we could connect with the community on a 1:1 basis and actually see customers fall in love after that first bite. Naturally, the food did it’s job, and as word spread, our small gazebo became a local sensation, bringing people together over plates of smoky and spicy delights.Spicing Up the CommunitySince 2017, our "fambily" has been serving up a modern twist on Jamaican cuisine and the community has been our rock. Come down to our 'Shack' in Portsmouth to experience where it all began and feel the vybez!

A friendly welcome to us and our guests, followed by efficient service produced by attentive and effective staff. All six of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals, all of which were excellently cooked, presented and was delicious. We all agreed the Alverbank Hotel deserved the highest of recommendations. We will continue to enjoy eating at the Alverbank Hotel. The staff are an absolute credit to the venue.
