Cottons Caribbean restaurants announce two further openings in Shoreditch and Vauxhall, London this spring.
The current Cottons in Shoreditch Boxpark will close at the end of April and will be replaced with a site nearby on urtain Road, opening in May, and a further Cottons will open in June at St George’s Wharf, Vauxhall.
The new Curtain Road restaurant and bar will mirror the former Shoreditch space offering a boutique Cottons restaurant with space for just 60 diners and a further 15 covers at the bar at the 1,600 sq ft site.
The 4,235 sq ft Cottons Vauxhall site will feature an extensive restaurant plus large outdoor terrace over looking the Thames.
Dishes will include starters like Cottons 48-hour marinated jerk wings with banana sauce; and salt fish fritters with green mango and homemade scotch bonnet pepper relish. Main dishes will feature Cottons curried mutton with fried plantain; and whole baby jerk chicken with Cottons slaw.
In addition to the restaurants, both sites will feature their own rum shacks and extensive rum collections, trademark to the Cottons brand. Colourful interiors and hand-painted murals depicting Caribbean island scenes will complete the scene.
Owner Chris Singam said: ‘We look forward to bringing the Caribbean sunshine more permanently to Shoreditch and for the first time, to South London.’
