Former Asia de Cuba executive chef Michael Hanbury is opening his debut restaurant in Waterloo in June.
Called Antillean, the Caribbean restaurant will be located in an 18
th century coachbuilding works, which for the past 20 years has been home to Baltic restaurant.
The food will reflect the global influences on Jamaican cuisine with Antillean serving Saturday brunch, Sunday roasts and Caribbean tapas dishes alongside dishes such as flying fish and rolled oxtail curry.
The cricket fan chef is also giving his rum cocktail list a subtle cricket theme, with one called Whispering Death in honour of the nickname given to West Indies fast bowler Michael Holding.
