London's Caribbean scene just got a whole lot fancier with the opening of 2210 By Natty Can Cook in Herne Hill. This stylish eatery is more than just a posh jerk chicken joint at fancy prices; it's an immersive culinary experience that celebrates the rich culture of the Caribbean.
Upon entering, you'll be struck by the upscale atmosphere – and your outfit will likely be underwhelming compared to the chic crowd. Don't worry, though, the food is well worth dressing up for. Chef Nathaniel Mortley's passion project is a natural progression from his stint at the Greyhound pub in Peckham, where he earned a loyal following with his bold flavors and Caribbean expertise.
Mortley's journey wasn't an easy one, however. His time at Her Majesty's Pleasure prison in Brixton had a profound impact on him, and it's this experience that informs his cooking today. He's used his platform to celebrate the beauty of Caribbean cuisine, with dishes like confit pork belly with scotch bonnet mayo, lobster rasta pasta, and seared pimento duck breast showcasing his creative flair.
Standout dishes include the crispy ackee and saltfish spring roll, which is a masterclass in texture and flavor; the jerk chicken supreme, elegantly flavored with thyme, garlic, and cinnamon; and the deep-fried apple crumble, an indulgent treat that's worth every calorie. Yes, it's pricey – starters start at £12, and mains hover around £30 – but trust us, the attention to detail is well worth the splurge.
2210 By Natty Can Cook is more than just a restaurant; it's an event. The atmosphere is lively and sophisticated, with only two desserts on offer to satisfy your sweet tooth (plantain cake with white chocolate ganache is a solid choice). Don't miss out on this culinary gem – book your table and get ready for an unforgettable dining experience.
Price Range: £50+ per head

it feels like ur eating at a fancy festival not just some restaurant lol. & yeah, its pricey but trust me, its worth it 
. I mean, yeah, the place is fancy and all that, but it's still just a bunch of people eating jerk chicken and sipping on expensive drinks. The prices are straight-up highway robbery – £12 for a starter? Get real! And don't even get me started on the "immersive culinary experience" nonsense... I've had better vibes at a regular ol' Caribbean BBQ 
. Still, if you're looking to splurge and impress your posh friends, I guess 2210 is the place to be. Just don't say I didn't warn you 
. The prices are pretty steep, and while the food is amazing (I mean, who can resist scotch bonnet mayo? 
.
The fact that Chef Mortley has been through some tough times, including his stint in prison, makes his culinary journey even more inspiring. He's really using his platform to celebrate the beauty of Caribbean cuisine, and it shows in every dish. 
i swear by my aunt's recipe - she uses allspice, thyme, scotch bonnet peppers, and a hint of brown sugar...anyway back to the restaurant...i loved the sound of that crispy ackee and saltfish spring roll lol did they have any vegan options?
. Still, if you're looking to splurge and have an unforgettable dining experience, this place is worth checking out 
.
. and the food?! crispy ackee and saltfish spring roll is literally my new obsession 
. trust me when i say, £50+ per head is WELL worth it 
. And don't even get me started on the prices, £50+ per head is like, whoa! But if the food lives up to the hype, I'm all in 
. The ackee and saltfish spring roll sounds insane, and that plantain cake with white chocolate ganache? Sounds like a match made in heaven 
. Worth every penny? Maybe not for me, but I'll be curious to see how it goes!
