Cocos

Great overall setting for a meeting of friends with quite a lot of years on the clock. First impression was great as Michel our host for the night pointed out the safest parking spot away from the danger of tickets. Then it was over to the drinks which although non alcoholic were delicious. I highly recommend the sorrel and ginger beer. On the menu was a diverse selection of meals and my chosen pork belly with rice and peas did not disappoint. Thank you Coco’s for making a special evening great. Hats off to to the staff.

This is the second time I've come and I've not been let down. My wife and I were served by Isaac and we had a great time with amazing cocktails and fantastic food. The vibe is wonderful and we'll definitely be back!

Cocos is classy, warm, and welcoming from the moment you walk in. The food was authentic and full of flavor—my kids even cleaned their plates in record time! The apple crumble was the perfect finish. Highly recommend!

Lovely decor, welcoming ambience and generally a good vibe. Friendly staff, and quite a broad menu of food and drink.

Although seems a little overpriced..3 full meals,  3 alcoholic and 1 non alcoholic cocktail costing £147.00

The meals were ok, however I found the pork belly tasteless and swimming in sauce, and the dauphinoise potatoes were dry and had no sauce. The salmon and jerk chicken dishes were nice and portions were ok. The meals took approx 90minutes to arrive and were tepid, missing sides or served with alternative sides - 'sweet potato/potatoe mix up' without  being given a choice or asking whether we had allergies.

We had a lot of back and forthing to reheat dishes, request cutlery and condiments.  Unfortunately we were not offered an apology or compensation, but upon requesting it and after they had a 'mini team meeting' to discuss it, we recieved an apology, 4 free shots, and had 1 full meal removed from the bill which would have cost approx £26 in addition.

Seems they lack any proper waiter/waitress experience and need an experienced waiter to oversee and run things.

Positively, they have a lovely lady singing live renditions of reggae and soul (albeit a little too loudly as we couldn't hear ourselves speaking) and have different offers on everyday of the week including 2 for 1 cocktails.

Seems booking and walks were welcome on a Friday night.
Its centrally located and easily accessible by bus and train. Some free parking nearby in the evening but is quite limited.

Incredible Caribbean Food & Amazing Service!

Had an amazing experience at Cocos in Crystal Palace! I ordered the lobster platter with a side of macaroni and cheese  absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection. The rest of my group tried the oxtail, curry goat, pork belly, plantain, and scallops  everyone was seriously impressed. We ended on a sweet note with Eton Mess and apple crumble, both of which were rich and satisfying.

The service was excellent throughout – friendly, attentive, and welcoming. The vibe in the restaurant was warm and relaxed, making it a perfect spot for a great evening out. Highly recommend if you’re looking for authentic Caribbean flavours and top-notch hospitality!

Cottons

Visted Cottons for my work Christmas dinner & the food & service was very enjoyable!

I had the jerk chicken wings for my starter, it was very flavourful & had the perfect amount of spice! Loved the rice & peas & chicken for my main!

The desert was definitely my favourite, banana & ginger cake was really nice I’d definitely order that again!

The pineapple punch & shots were very sweet!

Anthony & Stephanie were so lovely, they accommodated our large group very well!

This place looks inviting. It was busy and, there was definitely a vibe. The staff were clearly keen to please although, at times slow to respond. The cocktails were  passable - we chose some of the happy hour selection which felt, a little like the alcohol content had been rationed. We ordered a selections of sharing plates as starters which worked really well, for our party. I was however surprised when I ordered, what the menu said was a shrimp dish in chilli and honey, which arrived in the form of humongous prawns - fully dressed  so to speak, which were covered in the sauce but with no finger bowl, so that I could tackle the task of removing the shells. Had I known, I would not have ordered them and, this meant that, I didn't have much of a main. Sadly, I left thinking 'could do better'

First time at Cottons.
Arrived and Carly without a booking but welcomed and sat at table very quickly.
Couple of beers and relaxed for 45 minutes before ordering shared mixed platter for two as a starter. ( very nice and included a bit of everything.)
Had a gap of hen ordered mains.
Oxtail with rice and peas and salmon.
Very tasty and tangy food nice menu and lots of choice.
Very friendly staff.
I traveled by tube but you can get there by boat as boat pier directly outside.
Clean and tidy restaurant with good music playing in the background.
Like Caribbean food-like a bit of reggae then this is a good spot.

I really enjoyed my visit to Cotton’s. I wish I had gotten there before 9:30 so I could have sat outside — the views looked amazing! The staff were lovely, and the inside of the restaurant was beautiful too.

Food & Cost:
•	Fritters: 5/10
•	Prawns: 8.5/10
•	Oxtail with Rice: 8.5/10

For me and a friend, dinner with drinks came to £99.55.

I’d definitely recommend giving this place a visit! Bonus: before 7pm, they offer 20% off food, plus they have 2-for-1 cocktails, which makes it even better.

MINUS
- The music selection was overly explicit and clashed with the character of the local area; a table consensus.
- The chicken served with the “Jerk pork belly and ¼ chicken” dish was overcooked and dry.
