Cafe Caribbean was started in 1993 from a small outlet in Covent Garden, London by Warren Richards, an ex-professional boxer. Warren took the culinary path to bring the traditional dishes of Spanish Town, St Catherine, Jamaica to London.

The recipes at the core of the Cafe Caribbean were passed on to Warren by his mother who was taught by her own mother about the special ingredients of the Caribbean cuisine and how to prepare and cook them.

All our food is prepared and cooked fresh on the premises every day. We pride ourselves on serving outstanding traditional Caribbean dishes in an honest, home cooked style.

Cafe Caribbean Loughton is conveniently located in the heart of the buzzing Loughton high street. Please visit us for an amazing dine-in experience or to order your take away.

What Clients Say

"Food was 10/10. I had the curry goat which came on the bone. Plenty of flavor rich gravy and a nice over baked patty that fell apart. Fresh and crispy. The rice&peas was fluffy and full of flavor. Not like other places microwave it till flat and is so hot it burns the roof of your mouth!!!!! So that was Friday Sunday I had to order again this time I ordered oxtail."
