Today’s lunch took us to pappys, Caribbean food in Oxford is somthing I’ve yet to find, and stumble on this on google and thought I’ll give it a try, and was surprised! Wow! Amazing let’s talk about food! I ordered Curry Chicken, rice and peas, steam veg and mac&cheese, with dumplings. Starting with the portion size, it was huge, but it wasn’t quantity over quality! - the rice and pea was cooked perfectly great taste that coconuty thyme and scotch bonnet vibe just hits! The curry chicken was flavoured nicely soft boneless chicken deep in flavour, steam veg was nice also plenty of it too. This spot surprised me massively it was very authentic every flavour hit exactly how yard food should! I’ll be back that’s for sure! Today overall rating 8.5/10 Side note, do allow a bit of time to be served, takes a while to get your food but it’s worth it! Big up!

Food was absolutely delicious 10/10! Good music. Friendly people. Sometimes it can be awkward going to eat on your own, but they made me feel so welcome. Thank you! The Okra soup with pounded yam was the tastiest food I have had in ages. Thanks again! Wish I lived closer.

Fantastic food - absolutely delicious! Generous portion sizes - ordered set meal for one but it easily split between two and I think could have gone even further. The meat in particular was tender and the spices were just right. One of the best takeaways I ever had.

Big fan of plantain, the dumplings were sweet and warm but the chicken...mm mmm!!! The jerk chicken is amazing!!! I’m not a fan of meat in the bone so the gent who served us changed it up so I could have a breast instead of wing/thigh. Soooo impressed! Highly recommend, looking forward to the next!

My husband & I ordered here for the first time tonight and it was UNREAL. Very generous portions & really good price. It was delivered within 30 mins but the best thing was is that it was piping hot and most definitely fresh. I’d rather wait a bit longer and be reassured I get delivered fresh food that’s hot rather than being told it will be ready in 10 mins! The guy delivering it was very happy, smiley, chatty, kind- top customer service. I had curry goat, rice and dumplings And husband had jerk chicken burger, Mac and cheese. Can’t tell you how good it tasted! In my opinion the mac and cheese and curry goat was insane! Just trust me and try it! You won’t be disappointed!

Pappy is the sweetest guy, we came in around 7pm looking for a place to eat. The people working there were very kind and inviting, telling us what we should try. We had a mix of things for 2 people, the food was amazing. Afterwards Pappy showed us around the restaurant and told us some stories about Abington. I will recommend this restaurant to anyone, food is great, people are kind and prices are good! If we’re ever in Abington again, we will swing back past this place.

Loved having Pappys delivered. We ordered Jamacian Sunday Dinner that come with Jerk Chicken, rice and peas Steamed Veg along with Mac and cheese. It was amazing, there was also a Jerk chicken burger ordered, along with Curry goat and dumplings also helpings of coleslaw. The chicken was incredible, so much flavour and seasoning had gone into everything and it was hot. Also the prices for takeout food are very pleasing too and probably one of the best around. We enjoyed every bit, we will definitely be ordering again and happy that it delivered to us too with no issues finding our address. Thanks again for really good food, and service.
