Amazing jerk chicken take away. No visitor would ever try it unless they knew it was here: it looks dodgy from the outside but everyone local loves it!

This is a kebab place called The Best Kebab - it is really good. I recommend their falafel wrap (but their meat kebabs are also nice). Nice friendly owners. Cheap prices.

Nice kebab take away or you can eat in. They also do fish and chips - this is sometimes great (but once I had it and it was not so great, not awful but not great).
