From the moment you sit down, the menu invites you on a delightful journey through traditional Caribbean cuisine.

For the mains, I couldn't recommend the Curries highly enough. The Cottons Curried Mutton, made from a family recipe, is slow-cooked to perfection and served with rice and peas for just £20.00.

    My wife and I went to Cottons on the nd August for our anniversary, we loved the food. I had saltfish fritters for starters,it was tasty and curried mutton for the main, which was also tasty. I had a rum punch in a tall glass, it was just right with not too much ice and I also had a virgin colada which was also nice with the right amount of ice. Everything was just right!!

    Really nice venue, situated in Vauxhall, near the river Thames. Great spot for a summer meal. There is outside seating.The environment is colourful and vibrant. The paint work on the walls reflects a Carribean vibe.Old vintage s reggae music is played in the background.The service from time of ordering to being served was quite long, around hour. The venue was near full capacity as it was fathers Day, which might be the reason for the delay.I attended with my family, which consisted of members. So large groups might contribute to a slower meal service.The food was nice and enjoyable. The signature jerk sauce was not pepper hot, you can taste the Dunns river jerk flavour, I have to say the jerk does not appear to be cooked over a smoked grill to give it the authentic Jamaican Jerk taste. The sauce was all over the food, which was overpowering, so it was difficult to taste the flavour of the meat selections.I ordered the jerk meat single Platter, which consists of a chicken wing, pork rib, a chicken thigh, rice and peas, and a lamb chop. The chop was really small, but this is not the case for all meals. The pork rib was not meaty. The cost of this meal is £, at the time of writing this review.I also had some of a fish Platter, which had a selection of four different fish pieces, a shrimp and squid, for £. . The fish meal was lightly seasoned.These meals are also served as a combo for two at around £..Wheelchair accessibility: The venue is accessible to wheelchairs from Vauxhall main road

    I wanted to start by saying that the lovely waitress that served us was great unfortunately I didn’t get her name ( Sorry but you know who you are miss dimples!!!) I came on happy hour and got greedy with the drink lol! I gave everything stars apart from the food, don’t get me wrong the food was great the drink were strong but you sadly lost a star on the festival I did not like then at all but the rest was great!
