Friendly and attentive staff, great atmosphere, delicious drinks. THE FOOD WAS DELICIOUS and came out hot and fast. Everything was excellent. We had to buy some of the special hot sauce to take home because is was so good. Will be back asap

Great experience here it was super busy but they allowed us to sit in open space garden. You will have to order inside at the bar, but they do bring your food to you. Service : friendly staff Starter : we had the sharing platter containing 3 picks, we had the prawns and chicken wings. The prawns were very meaty and juicy, personally I would have liked less chilly sauce. The wings was a bit watery and we couldn’t really taste the jerk. Main : we had the Croft combo personally I loved the curry goat 10/10 the pork belly had so much meat on it, and I loved that as It normally had a lot of fat. The rice and beans was amazing so flavourful and not too salty. Mixing it with the goat was perfect combo. The chicken was a little bit dry for my liking. Overall I loved eating here and would recommend for sure if you’re visiting Bristol !

So, so good. Food was absolutely full of flavour and incredible from starters, main to desert. Highly recommend the saltfish fritters, Croft fried chicken, ackee and saltfish, and to finish the Yard cake. Our best meal in Bristol in our 4 day trip.

Had an amazing experience at Caribbean Croft. The staff were super friendly and welcoming, which set the tone for a great visit. I ordered the jerk salmon, and it was absolutely spot on. Beautifully cooked, tender, and packed with that rich, smoky jerk flavour. The rice and peas were full of taste and complemented the salmon perfectly. You could really tell care went into every bite. I also had the mac n cheese, which was creamy and comforting. Paired with the chilli sauce they provided, it hit the spot. The heat and creaminess together were just perfect. The whole place has a lovely cultural vibe, celebrating the spirit and flavour of the Caribbean. You can feel the love for food and community in everything they serve.

Visited Bristol for the first time and was told my multiple people that Caribbean Croft was the spot to go to. We went on a Friday evening (would recommend booking in advance as we did) and have nothing bad at all to say about this restaurant. From drinks, to food, to service, to atmosphere, everything was outstanding. We had such a delicious experience here. As well as the pictures, also had the 'Croft Combo' which is perfect if you're a meat eater who wants to try a bit of everything. Next time I'm in Bristol I'll definitely be back here.

Great service by Holly and the team at Caribbean Croft. Shared platter starter, Croft Combo Main and Fried Chicken mains complimented with some good cocktails and a Double Rum Board. If you like this kind of food certainly give it a try and if it's not you go to cuisine....then give it a try.
