Big news for the south London massive – Nathaniel Mortley, aka NattyCanCook, is launching his very first restaurant. Opening in October 2210 by NattyCanCook will be landing in Herne Hill, serving up bold Caribbean flavours with a fine-dining twist.
If you don’t already know Natty, you’re about to. He smashed it with his sold-out pop-up at The Greyhound in Peckham (and picked up Condé Nast Traveller’s “One to Watch” award while he was at it). His journey hasn’t been the smoothest – after stints at City Social and The Arts Club, Natty spent time at HMP Brixton, where he reignited his passion for food at The Clink, the prison’s inmate-run restaurant. Fast forward to now, and he’s back on home turf with a mission to shake up how we see Caribbean food, and to create opportunities for other formerly incarcerated people in hospitality too.
The menu’s looking seriously good – think Roti & Scotch Bonnet Butter, Ackee & Saltfish Spring Roll, Jerk Chicken Supreme and Confit Turkey Wings. For pud, Natty’s famous Deep-Fried Apple Crumble and a Plantain Cake are on deck, plus he’s bringing out Caribbean-style Sunday roasts. Oh, and did we mention the rum-heavy cocktail list?
