Newcastle’s only Jamaican soul shack bringing authentic Caribbean cooking to the North East

With the lockdowns and restrictions that have dominated the past two years, you might have missed the arrival of this hidden gem which claims to be the first of its kind in Newcastle.

Tucked away on New Bridge Street just outside of the city centre, Lev’s Delivery specialises in Jamaican dishes. Owners Theo Bondswell, 25, and Levi Raine, 26, wanted to be the first to bring their love of Jamaican food to the North East.

A passion for authentic Caribbean cooking runs in the family - the story behind the creation of Lev's dates back to when Theo’s grandmother, known by the family as Grandma B, left Jamaica to start a new life in the UK.
