We’ve teamed up with the Queen of Hoxton to bring a little island soul to the East End. Taking over the ground floor at Queen of Hoxton, BARBS is serving up bold Bajan flavours, sunshine energy, and the kind of hospitality that makes you feel right at home.

We've got a new menu including snacks and small plates alongside our Bajan Fried Chicken and Fish favourites. Our platters are great for groups and parties. 

 The bar will be serving up some epic Bajan-inspired cocktails, and stay tuned for Rum Punch Brunch, Sunday Roasts and much more! 

This is Barbados, remixed for Shoreditch.

How it started

Barbs started with Nicc and his Grandma Alder, the queen of Bajan cooking and good vibes. In her kitchen, Nicc learned that great food isn’t just about flavour—it’s about bringing people together. Inspired by her legendary recipes, he created Barbs to share the joy, warmth, and unbeatable taste of Barbados with the world.

Bajan to the bone

At Barbs, we bring the vibrant spirit of Bajan hospitality to everything we do—creating a joyful, family-friendly space where everyone feels like they’ve found their island home. 

Every dish we serve is a tribute to Barbados. From the warmth of our welcome to the care in our cooking, we’re proudly Bajan through and through.

Passion in every plate

Our team is as vibrant and diverse as the flavours we serve. Founder Nicc, head chef Amanda Powell and the team is rooted in South East London, we’re a stockpot of talent; bringing together people from the Caribbean and beyond, united by a shared love for exceptional food and heartfelt hospitality. Each one of the Barbs collective brings their unique energy, skills, and stories to the table. Together, we’re more than a team—we’re a family, sharing the essence of Barbados one plate at a time.

This is just the beginning—our dream is to bring the taste and spirit of Barbados to tables across the UK and beyond.
