Trendy food shack Natty's Jerk finalist in Uber Eats Restaurant of the Year 2024

Uber Eats has announced that Natty’s Jerk, in Commercial Road, has been named a finalist in the Restaurant of the Year Awards in 2024. For the third year running, Natty’s has been named the best restaurant in the South East.

All regional winners will go up against each other next month in a bid to take the title of the best restaurant of the year.

Uber Eats is also offering all regional winners a £5,000 prize alongside a support package to help accelerate their businesses' growth.

Natty’s Jerk started back in 2017 when Natty Crutchfield and his family started cooking up Jamaican delicacies from their Portsmouth home. Natty took a leap of faith and began working a stall in Commercial Road, selling traditional and authentic flavours of Jamaica - and it went down a treat.

Fast forward to 2024 and Natty’s Jerk now has three locations: Portsmouth, Southampton and Bournemouth.

Natty said: “We are so happy to be included in such a great event again this year. Can we make it 3rd time lucky? We owe it to the poor souls that keep backing us.”

Matthew Price, general manager UK, Ireland and Northern Europe at Uber Eats, said: “A massive congratulations to our South East finalist, Natty’s Jerk Shack. The calibre of businesses taking part in our Restaurant of the Year Awards continues to grow.

“I look forward to welcoming the Natty’s Jerk Shack team to the Awards in November, and hearing more about their journey as a small restaurant business”
