A Splash of Caribbean Flavor in Rottingdean!
While spending a weekend down on the coast, I tucked into the Queen Victoria Pub to get out of the rain. The interior was welcoming and clean and the bar was appealing. Besides good pub food, I was delighted to find a few items on the menu and on the specials board that would soon make up for the gray and wet day. I chose a fresh fish meal with vegetables and Caribbean rice in a lovely sauce from the board and was astounded when it was brought to me. The delivery was spectacular! The plate looked like something you would find in a **** restaurant. The fish was cooked to perfection, the vegetables were tender and each had it's own distinct flavour. I am not a big rice fan, but the peas and rice were a hit; the sauce simply luscious. I thanked the waitress and found out that Drixi is German-born and married to Chef Benjie who is Jamaican.
Cudos for fantastic food, friendly service, good value and pleasant surroundings. Benjie's has not seen the last of me!
Oooh! The couple also cater parties in the pub or private events in your home. Benjie's finger-food is to die for.
