Having heard lots about Caribbean Croft on Stokes Croft, I was looking forward to paying them a visit for lunch. The independent restaurant and rum bar has rave reviews and is known for its delicious food and thriving atmosphere.
When I first got there at noon, the large restaurant was largely empty and only one more table was occupied. However, as time went on, a few more people started to arrive and there were also diners coming in for takeaways.
Nice, but not too loud music was playing in the background and I enjoyed watching them prepare the food in the open kitchen. With an extensive menu with lots of choices (particularly impressive is the fish and vegetarian/vegan section), I decided to order some chicken wings as a starter (£8) followed by the Croft Combo (£19) and a side of sweet potato fries (£3).
