Review: Sugar Dumplin', Camberley, Surrey

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, we all know that Caribbean food is my favourite. My ultimate favourite. So I didn't need to be asked twice when Sugar Dumplin got in touch to see if I wanted to sample their menu at their new restaurant in Camberley, Surrey.

After collecting the party bus from London Bridge station and a very strong rum cocktail in both hands, we were soon on our way to Surrey. Trust me when I say it's well worth the journey out of London. As soon as you walk in the restaurant its like you've been transported thousands of miles away. The sounds of a steel drum tinkers in the background, pumping reggae music blasts as you scoff your food and the whole place feels like you've stumbled into a shack on a tiny Caribbean island. It feels a million miles away from just plain old Surrey - I absolutely loved the vibe. To me, the atmosphere is just as important as the food served up.

Boy did we eat a feast that night! Fiery jerk prawns with an added kick of ginger, sticky and extremely addictive BBQ ribs, perfectly cooked Bajan sword fish and salt cod fish cakes, chunky fried plantain chips and the signature sugar dumplins with incredibly moreish sauces. That was just to start!

More food still came out! When the goat curry arrived I was excited yet skeptical. This is my favourite dish and I'm always worried it's never executed good enough. But I needn't have worried! This was delicious. With mixed peppers and soft potatoes, the goat was incredibly tender with just the right amount of spicy chilli. I tried not to be too greedy with this dish! The rice and peas were the perfect partner to soak up the delicious sauce.

Thanks so much for such a delicious meal Sugar Dumplin - I wish I could eat it all over again!
