Cottons Notting Hill

As for the food, Cottons Notting Hill is known for bringing the heat and soul of Caribbean cuisine into every dish. The Oxtail is melt-in-your-mouth tender, rich with deep spices and slow-cooked until the meat slides effortlessly off the bone. The Curry Mutton with Rice and Peas is a crowd favorite-hearty, flavorful, and authentic, served just like it would be in Kingston or Port of Spain.

Looking for something to share? The Jerked Grill Platter delivers a generous spread of marinated meats chargrilled to smoky perfection, including Jerk Salmon that flakes beautifully under the fork. Pair it with a side of Fried Plantain-sweet, golden, and just crisp enough around the edges-or the Shrimp Mac and Cheese, a cheeky comfort food twist that works surprisingly well. Vegetarians are in luck too, with options like spicy vegan dishes and organic small plates offering a satisfying, meat-free alternative.

Don’t leave without trying their Salt Fish Fritters or the Hush Puppies Sweetcorn, two small plate highlights that punch above their weight. If you're a seafood fan, the Sea Bass and Chicken & Seafood Platter showcase Cottons' ability to blend Caribbean spices with fresh, flaky fish in a way that keeps things vibrant without overpowering the natural flavors.

The dessert list is a sweet finale. The Rum and Raisin Ice Cream is decadently creamy with just the right hint of kick, while the rest of the dessert menu tempts with tropical flair and house-made indulgences. It’s a place where even dessert feels like part of the island celebration.

Accessibility-wise, Cottons offers a wheelchair-accessible entrance and seating, although do note that it lacks a wheelchair-accessible toilet or car park. But they make up for it with great service options-you can opt for dine-in, takeaway, or even no-contact delivery if you’d rather bring the Caribbean home.

One thing’s for sure-Cottons Notting Hill delivers atmosphere by the bucketload. Whether you’re flying solo for a quick cocktail and small plate, or settling in with friends for an all-out rum-fueled feast, the energy is always upbeat and the food unapologetically bold. From happy-hour drinks to private dining rooms, they’ve built a space that caters to date nights, celebrations, or just those spontaneous cravings for spice, soul, and sunshine on a plate.

If you're looking to swap the standard London dining routine for something a bit more colorful, flavorful, and music-filled, Cottons is that little slice of the Caribbean that knows how to make a night out feel like a tropical getaway.

Last Saturday evening, I visited Cottons with friends, and we had a fantastic experience. From the moment we walked in, the welcome from the manager was warm and inviting, setting the tone for the evening. Every member of the staff was wonderful, but a special mention goes to Abdul, our server for the night. He was the epitome of professionalism—attentive, friendly, and well-versed in the menu, offering insightful recommendations. The food was outstanding, with each of us trying different dishes, and every choice was a hit. The cocktails were equally impressive, crafted to perfection. Overall, I highly recommend this branch of Cottons for its excellent service, delicious food, and vibrant atmosphere and will definitely revisit.
