-
- Cottons,
Camden (Caribbean Restaurant of the Year)
- * I
would therefore like to nominate the restaurant as Caribbean restaurant
of the year. Why? Great atmosphere
-very good musicians. DJ’s
most nights and fantastic food every night.
-
- * I
recently had a fantastic time at the Cottons Caribbean Restaurant
on Chalk Farm.
- Not
only was the food very enjoyable, and the drinks lovely, but the staff
treated us as if we were friends. Also the pricing was very reasonable,
and paying the bill could not have been smoother for such a large
party!
-
- * My
party consisted of over 20 people who all had a great time. the ambience
was excellent and they gave us access to a large section of the restaurant
for ourselves. I cannot give this establishment more credit than to
say I would definitely go back again.
-
- *I
love this restaurant "everything taste so nice" Cottons
Rhum Shop, Camden, London
-
- *
Please accept this note as my nomination: I organised a hen night
party for my best friend last June at the restaurant where it was
obviously important that both she and the other girls had a really
unforgettable night. And we certainly did: the food was really
great quality (some of us had special diets and they met our requests).
-
- *
The staff at Cottons were just full of fun, the atmosphere was friendly,
lively and very buzzy, and the drinks were generous.
-
- * I dream of going there again, and I think they really deserve
to win!! From a delighted
customer from Reading, Berks.
-
- *
Had an exquisite meal at Cotton's
on Friday night. Service was informal but excellent.
Liked the happy hour beforehand. Authentic. Excellent value for
- money.
A whole perfect eating experience. Can't wait to go again.
Will be spreading the news wherever I go.
