Great atmosphere - everyone seemed to be having a great time. The food was delicious and plentiful (I couldn't finish mine) and extremely reasonably priced. Staff were very lovely too, despite how busy they were. I look forward to visiting the drop again!

Great atmosphere. Upbeat Vibe. Good range of drinks. Delicious food. Only negative point was the portion of Meat wasn't adequate. It wasn't enough in my opinion and was made up with a lot of bones. Besides that, the Drop is a must go for a casual dinner. :)

Brilliant food and very speedy, staff were friendly and helpful. Fantastic to finally see a Caribbean restaurant that has it all- doesn't slack on the food or the service standard. Hope that they keep it up!

Table with filthy and sticky and food was cold. Couldn't pay in card which is odd in this day and age. Don't think I'll be going again

The food was really great. However, we had to wait 1 hour and 20 minutes for the food to come and not many around us had food either. The service is incredibly slow, but the food is great.

This place is super busy which is a good sign but it took us 40 minutes to be served for food or drinks which was annoying. But once you've ordered, foods out pretty quick and it is the best food ever! So worth the wait!! Love love love!!! Really nice staff too

Food was mediocre, staff were very nice. Drink were pretty average too. Ackee and saltfish was very bland, the curry goat was ok but meat was very tough, could have done with atleast another hour cook down time. Best thing I ate was the jerk chicken no complaints what so ever about that, it was amazing.

Best carribean food ive experienced outside jamaica, staff are pleasant and friendly my only gripe would be that tables and floor area should be cleared as soon as customer leaves we were sat at a table with the last customers plates and cutlery still on it for about 10 mins till sumeone come and cleared it.

food is always good but very unorganised today. Told jerk chicken would take too long then it came out after changing my order. The portions are usually good for the hench drop box but my food seemed very skanty however people coming after me received the full trimings. More staff needed and better organisation as waited 20 mins after requesting my bill

I hope The Drop doesn't become a victim of its own success as it's so popular and rightly so - the food is truly superb. It is very busy though so make sure you book ahead.

Beautiful food, the staff are friendly and polite inside has a lovely vibe but as it's always so busy and it's quite small the outside seating area doesn't play the same music as inside and can get a little cold but will always come here again 4*

service was delivered with a smile but painfully ran, we waited 15minutes on arrival to be spoken to and 40mins for our drinks which arrivwd just before our food. the table for 2 was in such a bad location by the door that it was just in the way! food was average. The only reason i giving 2 is the waitess who served us was very polite and smiley.

The best Caribbean food i have ever eaten. Service was fantastic, food was amazing and the waiting time was next to nothing despite the place being packed. When you think some places are charging £15 for a burger these days I would pay £13 for the bench drop box all day long. Its a proper meal. The drinks menu was good, loads of choice and the restaurant itself looks superb. These guys have got this place running like clockwork. I would give this place 7 stars if i could.

Hes and Jimmy (the owners) were fantastic from start to finish and the food was exceptional. If you like good food with everything made from scratch and delivered in a friendly down to earth way then this is the place to be!
