Jade’s story
Jade’s story
Caribbean comfort food from one Eastbourne kitchen. No shortcuts, no dry meat, and every belly blessed.

The beginning
One kitchen, one woman, a lot of scotch bonnet
Belly Bless Kitchen started as an idea in Jade’s Eastbourne kitchen: Caribbean-inspired comfort food, cooked properly, slowly and with love. A one-woman band from the first pot to the last delivery.

“5 beta tasters needed this Sunday”
Authentic curry goat, fluffy white rice and sweet fried plantain for £5, just enough to cover the ingredients. All Jade asked for was an honest review and a photo.

What Jade stands for
Blessed, not rushed
48-hour marinades
Brown stew chicken is marinated for 48 hours, pot-browned and slow-stewed until it falls off the bone.
No factory shortcuts
Hand-rolled, made from scratch, and only on the menu once it’s 10/10.
Flash-chilled
Every box is chilled straight after cooking to lock in the flavour and juices. Three minutes to reheat.
Spice your way
Tell Jade how hot you like it. Taster box reviewers said it was tailored perfectly.
