Jamaican Pattie Company

The Jamaican Pattie Company that has gone large.

They've been in Covent Garden for 7 years. Now they're just outside Liverpool Street Station.

Their image matches the quality of the produce.

Definitely a proud moment to actually get the true taste of the Caribean. I had the spicy beef patties.

Full of meat, flavour & just the right heat.

They have a selection of flavours.

Well done guys, keep up the good work.

STEWPEAS PATTIE

Way back in 2017 I mentioned (or maybe ranted) about StewPeas patties. The jest of my article was why, why ruin this traditional Jamaican snack?!

Well I had the opportunity to try a stewpeas pattie.

Amazing!

If I hadn't taken the top off the pattie and counted the 8 red beans I would have sworn it was a beef pattie put into the wrong wrapper.

I won't be running to the shop for them, but I for one will eat another if the opportunity arises.

Pastry - the pastry was good, light, flaky, melt in the mouth - 4

Shape - Traditional, with slight crackle edge. - 4.5

Filling - was supposed to be red beans. I counted 8 in total. Great colour, but mostly filler rather than beans filling it.

Flavour - average Caribbean flavouring. It had flavour. A hint of pepper - 4.5

Score 13/15 😁
